Dec 25, 2008 33 cl bottle from Market of Choice that due to cashier negligence I wound up scoring for 1.79! Red brown pour with a very minimal head. Aroma of clove and plum with a big clove, nutmeg and brown sugar flavor. Extremely smooth on the tongue and the alcohol is as well masked as any beer I"ve ever tasted. Excellent brew.

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle from Binnys. Pours black with big brown head. Aroma is confused, almost medicinal, but bubblegum, yeast and fruit can be picked out. Flavor is simply extraordinary. Bubblegum and malt, some banana and apple and plenty of spice. Just fantastic.

Dec 23, 2008 All i can say is wow what a great beer. Up until a few months ago this was my number one favorite beer. Then I got a reserva and a Grand Reserva and lets just say it does get better than this. This beer has it all the flavor is over the top and is definitely a better brew than its counter part .The Danish version but hey try both but I prefer this version for it is a little spicier and thicker on the palette which I like. Nice vanilla flavors with spices and earthy flavors abound a great brew and a must have...

Dec 22, 2008 2007. A velvety smooth, complex and delicious Quad. This beer pours about as dark as possible for a Quad. It is a deep, deep red brown that only shows color at the very bottom edge of my chalice. The head looks soft enough to use as a pillow and shows no sign of disappearing. As a quad, this beer has good sweetness and sourness with deep, full Belgian fruit esters mingled with godly earthiness. More directly but less accurately, the flavor favors dark stone fruits, sturdy, dry oak and perfectly toasted barley. The feel is simply divine. Tiny bubbles gently coat the mouth in a symphony of flavor. The 10 percent abv is nowhere to be seen. Incredible beer.

Dec 18, 2008 [2006 Bottle] was an extra in a trade with mreusch, awesome. Pours a clear burnt caramel brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is looooaded with dark fruits, raisins, plums, caramel, cherries, and maybe a little grape. The yeasty esters really take the cake here. The flavor is very warm and full. The alcohol is there, but it adds to the mouthfeel quite nicely. Quite well carbonated. The flavor doesnt quite hold up to the nose, but it is still pretty fantastic. Lots of spices, moreso than the aroma. Maybe nutmeg and cinnamon, but Im not quite sure. The bottle is slightly oxidized, but it really isnt distracting, however the finish gets a little cardboardy.

Dec 18, 2008 Bottle, courtesy of Noize. Brown-red colour, tan head. Aroma is of dark ruits and caramel. Flavour of dark red fruits, chocolate malts and caramel. Nice long finish. This is great stuff.

Dec 14, 2008 Vintage 2007. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a large firm tan head. Rich aromas of brown sugar and spices and rum-raisin ice cream. Full bodied without belying its alcohol content. Smooth and silky. Chocolate and fruit and spices with a strangely vinous character. Big but not imposing. Sweet but not cloying. Complex yet still balanced and approachable. Delicious.
