COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Urthel Samaranth 12 Quadrium Ale is a malty, full-bodied special Ale, brewed in a way that only Belgian Brewers can. Huge mouthfeel and layers and levels of flavor make Urthel Samaranth the perfect beer for the end of a meal or at the finish of a special day. And when you want something different, Urthel Samaranth 12 Quadrium Ale is with its fine bitterness, definitely something different... Try it! First brewed at Van Steenberge, now brewed at Koningshoeven - La Trappe brewery.

Pours a slightly hazy ruby-brown with a small, almost white head that leaves a bit of lacing and retains very well. The aroma has caramel, toffee, figs, cherries, yeast, and alcohol. The flavor is big on caramel and toffee, with dark fruit and a lot of hot alcohol. Soft, fizzy mouthfeel with a slightly bitter finish. All in all a very tasty quad, but a little too much alcohol.

The taste is sweet and malty with some fruits and alcohol. Not a good beer.

Bottle. Pour was deep golden brown with a trappist yeast character and a lot of fruity esters. Flavors were layered with sweet, but light malt, caramel, some toasted characters, all balanced with the fruity esters and high alcohol. This was a well blended beer and easy to drink for 11%. Nice brew.

Pours cloudy red/purple with thin white head. Aroma is big dark fruit and some subtle yeast, and the taste is very similar. Ends a bit sweet, but a very solid quad.

Nejhleader (1003) - Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 11, 2010
Nice golden color. Has a sweet aroma. Taste is sweet candy, brown sugar/ molasses, some caramel, malts. I hint of warming alcohol. I thought this was very nice, but a bit expensive.

First a disclaimer. I have yet to try a quad that I didn’t love. Pours dark cloudy brown with a minimal head of tiny bubbles. Aroma is dark fruit and alcohol. Mouth feel is slightly thick, but smooth and not at all sticky. Flavor is dark and fruity with a lot of bread and alcohol mixed in. Finish is a bit hot with the alcohol, but all in all this is an excellent beer.
