Definitely mellower than the non-reserve version. Has an almost tangy taste to it.

33 cl bottle from Etre Gourmet. 2009 Vintage. Pours dark brown/reddish with a medium brown head. Leaves a good lacing. Aroma of dark fruits, fig, prune, raisins, bread. Very complex and nice aroma. Flavour is is same as aroma. Alcohol taste is completely hidden. Very complex and very well balanced. Full body, medium carbonation, low bitterness, slick mouthfeel.

330 ml bottle into chalice, 2009 vintage. Pours murky dark reddish brown color with a small khaki head with decent retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Minimal glass lacing with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of big raisin, prune, fig, molasses, toast, clove, pepper, oak, light roast, brown bread, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of malt and fruity/spicy notes with moderate oak presence. Taste of raisin, prune, fig, molasses, toast, toffee, clove, pepper, oak, brown bread, light roast, and toasted earthiness. Lingering notes of dark fruit, molasses, toast, toffee, oak, clove, pepper, brown bread, light roast, and earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity and balance of malt and fruity/spicy flavors; with moderate oak presence and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a creamy and slick mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic oak aged quadrupel. Big complexity and great balance of flavors; and quite smooth to sip on. A highly enjoyable offering.

Beautiful taste and aroma , it's a strong beer But you can't feel The alcohol In The beer . I really recomend this beer ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Refrigerated 11.2 oz. brown 2009 bottle poured into a trappist glass. Pours dark brown with small medium brown highlights. Little lacing, medium body, medium carbonation, and dark fruit aroma. Taste is oak, dark fruit, and a hint of alcohol which peaks every once and a while. Complex but still pretty easy to drink. Probably past its prime.

Appearance in the dark dark brown with a slight head. Aroma of toffee and caramel. Taste rather sweet and long on the palate

Bottle at home bought at the schoolyard in 2009. Aroma is full plum raisin caramel and a touch old Christmas pud booziness. Really sark caramel colour with a little ruby. Light swirling tan head and some legs. Flavour is rich deep rum raisin oak and roast come through in the finish but it is perfectly balanced. Long mellow duration. Palate is velvety. Great beer.

Clear black colour, beige head. Aroma of chocolate, liquorice, roasted malts, apple, vanilla and malts. Sweet flavour, chocolate, malts, vanilla, dried fruits, hint of wood. Finish chocolate, bourbon, quite alcoholic.
Good beer.
(Draught @ ZBF, Leuven 2013)

I smell chocolate, dried fruits, vanilla, malts. The rich sweet flavours make me smile and give a glimp of heaven.

ZBF Festival 2013 - Black with thick, creamy head. Thick, oily and warming from the alcohol. It’s very rich. I don’t get much from the barrel on this one but the treacly, burnt sugars are nice.
