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.

MaartenRF10 (349) - Wageningen, NETHERLANDS - NOV 8, 2011
UPDATED: JAN 31, 2012 Roodbruin bier met volle cremekleurige schuimkraag. Ruikt naar overrijp fruit. Smaak vol, lichtzoet, overrijp fruit, port, alcohol. Allemaal wat subtieler dan bij de meeste quadrupels. Lekkerder dan ik had gedacht na het zien van de score op ratebeer.

MrHangover (342) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - NOV 7, 2011
Bottle. Poured out into original Urthel glass. Nice, brownish colour, firm creamy tanned head that lasts troughout drinking. Aroma is awesome and present when opening the bottle. Loads of fruits, strawberry, apples, grapes and dates, some plums. But of alcohol present also, but not disturbing. Flavour is sweet, again fruitiness present, alongside with some warming alcohol tones and rich maltness. This was a good beer..

Bricks (297) - Delaware, USA - OCT 29, 2011
UPDATED: OCT 30, 2011 Aroma is heavily of grape. Great head on this one. Tastes sweet with LOADS of artificial grape. The alcohol is pretty present. This would make a great shot, or great beer in limited quantities. Drinkability is near zero.

[4034-20111016] 11.2floz bottle. Sweet nutty leaf malt aroma. Slightly hazy, dark orange brown body with a quick foamy light tan head. Sweet motor oil malty flavour. Full body. Not great for me but can see the potential. (7/3/7/3/13) 3.3

2011-10-16. Lightly hazy dark brown bod, modest tan head fades quickly. 3+ Flavour is sweet, sugary malt, notes of caramel, light alcohol. Dark fruit character, like dates or raisins. Alcohol is fairly restrained up front but is lightly warming and starts to make itself known as the glass warms up and you work your way through it. 7+ Dusty malt aroma, caramel, light alcohol. Smooth medium bodied palate. Pretty decent, alcohol grows but its a decent example of the style. Bottle about nine months old, from Premier Gourmet, Buffalo
