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.

Deep copper pour, huge bubbly off-white head. Yeasty/bread-like nose with some fruitiness under. Medium bodied palate with less carbonation than the huge head would suggest. Taste is a bit typical for a quad, is somewhat subdued, for a quad in my opinion – hard to taste much beyond the yeasty/fruity flavor.

Goodgrief (1608) - Middletown, Delaware, USA - SEP 3, 2007
Oct 2005 rating - Very different for a quad. Beer poured with huge head and nice lacing...a little light colored for a quad. HUGE aroma of honey/bananas. Taste was just the right amount of sweetness with definite honey lemony taste others have noticed. Nothng like the other quads I’ve had, but I liked it.

This Belgian Strong Ale pours a medium amber color from a 33cl bottle. Large sized white foamy head, long lasting lacing. Aroma is malty, sweet, some orange, some cheery and a touch floral. A medium bodied Belgian Strong Ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Dark fruits, yeast and esters. Lively carbonation. Smooth taste. Finishes with a nice malty sweetness. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
