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.

Nice amber rose color, typical abt like head. Very sweet candy sugar and cherry taste with very apparent alcohol. A bit similar to St. Bernardus 12, but a little fruitier, verging on cough syrup. Definitely not the best quad I’ve tasted, but definitely not the worst. Nice mouthfeel, what I would expect from a quad. A good sipping beer, but I’ll save my money for Rochefort.

NordicV (298) - 21213, SWEDEN - SEP 17, 2011
Brunröd lätt grumlig öl med beige, snabbt försvinnande, skum. Doft av bär, torkad frukt, malt, farinsocker och alkohol. Balanserar alkoholsötma, farinsocker och torkad frukt med en pepprig, kryddig beska. Lite läder? Varm känsla i halsen från alkoholen.

Kristall-König (1552) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - SEP 14, 2011
Malzig-likörähnliche Duftspuren, vermischt mit Mandarine, vielleicht auch Schwarzbrot. Malziger und süßer Antrunk. Ab der Mitte etwas klebrig wirkend und Aromen von Feige und Orange. Im Abgang beginnt der Alkohol zu wirken. Das Bier wird röstmalzig, durchdrungen von Marzipanaromen und Toffee. Im Nachhall dann etwas brennend. Viele Aromen und viel Alkohol. Schwer im Körper. Ok - mehr leider nicht.Test vom 26.5.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche
