Bottle at Birch and Barley; huge thanks to Brett, Erik, Greg, and the whole staff for an awesome evening!! Pours definitely lighter for a quadrupel, sort of an orange almond color, with a decent white head. Nose and flavor are really magnificent, and so outrageously balanced; beautiful combination of nectar fruit and dark fruit, with big apricot, plum, and raisin character. Both barrel treatments come through subtly but stunningly, with touches of vinous tannin and vanilla sweetness. Not even remotely hot; the mouthfeel is absolutely divine. A lovely lovely lovely brew from Urbain.

Draft @ ‘t Schooltje, merci Carlo.
Cuivrée, col fin beige.
Arôme malté grillé, avec une barrique qui domine le tout. Laisse entre apercevoir un léger fruité-sucré et pour moi, un malt qui ne se fait pas vraiment présent.
Palais, pomme-bourbon donnant un profil de bouche liquoreux et sucré, léger en barrique avec un boisé discret, malt caramel avec ce profil restant dans la lignée belge, note sucre candi avec un alcool qui prend parfois le dessus laissant un bourbon dominer un peu le reste de la bière.

Tap, pours a dark brown, aroma is a carmelly and gots some cherry smell. The beer is very full bodied and it has a smooth texture with a lots of dark fruits in the flavours, a bit spicey kind of nutmegy around the edges. Overall, a nice offering

Pours orange with a nice white foam.
Wild reductive notes then subtle flowers, honey, malt extract, bretty notes appear with a great oaky/whisky contribution to the beer.
Huge brew.

Cloudy amber color, small head. The aroma is malty, some wood and vanilla, light alcohol. Full bodied; sweet malt flavor, nice delicate vanilla and oak presence, but also a moderate tannic and vinous touch.
Fully mature, complex, very good.
