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 coppery color with a beige head. Aroma of dark fruit, sweet malt, Belgian spice, yeast, and alcohol. Sweet caramel, ripe fruit, and alcohol.

Dedollewaitor (9254) - Odense, DENMARK - JUN 8, 2009
33cl bottle @ Biertempel, Brussels. Pours unclear brown with a small creamy white head and lacings. Nose is yeast, alcohol,sweet, mould and dark fruits. Very heavy - the sweetness and alcohol. Warming and vinous. A sipper . .

kwik-lime (597) - London, ENGLAND - JUN 6, 2009
Pleasant but faint aroma. Pours fairly light for a quadrupel, with a beige head which quickly dissipated. Fairly carbonated and a very full mouthful with hints of plum and raisin and a strong alcohol taste. Good, warming beer.

DigitalMan (191) - Idaho, USA - MAY 30, 2009
UPDATED: JUN 28, 2009 Aroma is faint but intriguing and inviting. Head is very full, lots of carbonation. Hazy amber color. Reminds of Rochefort 10! Flavor is full and smooth. Alcohol well hidden for as strong as this is. Great beer.

RichJ7 (1175) - Cullman, Alabama, USA - MAY 29, 2009
Cloudy brown with a half-inch white head. Aroma is earthy and spicy malt with a dash of something herbal. Flavor is tangy and fruity with a big alcohol presence. Nice.

Butters (2841) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - MAY 26, 2009
Sampled at the Alexi TN distributor’s tasting; thanks Jim Bird! Clear orangish brown pour. Massive alcohol heat on the nose. Sweet alcohol esters, with rum soaked fruits. Definitely needs some aging on this one.

ansermadide (850) - Kyle, Texas, USA - MAY 17, 2009
Sample at 3rd Annual Great Austin Belgian Beer Festival on May 16, 2009. Losing memory for the review (too many samples by this time), but I did manage to write down the numbers.
