roasty, coffee, basement aromas, brown, hazy, brown foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, very very balanced, full body, creamy, average carbonation, long finish, slightly bitter finish,

Liked the aroma, he smelled so nice and it tasted just like the smel. Even I was not the biggest fan of the smell ore taste. But it was verry nice

Believe the hype. This beer is more than its inaccessibility. A beer that strives for perfection, and perhaps reaches it. A lingering bitterness and full body with a healthy aroma and dark brown color. If velvet were a flavor, it would not taste as good. Had my first with Paul in A’dam in July, 2010, later brought two home. One for Jay (aged 3 years), one for Jess (aged 1 year).

As complicated, delicious, yet balanced as it gets. The best Quad I have had. If you can find it, treasure every sip

Bottle shared by Haggerty. Hero. 2003 Vintage. Murky dark brown in color with a short head. Big right aroma of dark fruit, licorice, fig, and alcohol. Very complex and shows a signature yeast. Flavor is syrupy and a quite sweet. Medium body and smooth body, followed by an ultra long finish.

Finally got hold of 2 bottles of this mystical stuff. pours dark muddy chocolate, with a small tanned head (1st bottle - no lacing, and slightly poor head). aroma is deep and rich, dark fruits, brown sugar and caramel. taste is old, very strong, and surprisingly bitter. layers of liquorice, dark fruits and molasses, with a long bitter finish. it is very complex, was expecting a rochefort 10, but this is a totally different beast. very nice, and luckily i’ve got another bottle for christmas! ;)

Bottle: I have had this one several times, though it has been a while since I had my last one. I see that this highly recommended and overall high rated beer has more than 2000 rates/reviews, so there will be one of mine there too... but not like:"Smells like... Taste likes..." It is a good beer, really good beer and worth it’s hype, but to be honest I have tasted several other beers that I think have a more refined taste, mouthfeel, smell and aftertaste than this one. Still this one is good! Though the Rochefort 10 is another damn good beer, maybe even better in my opinion. Well I enjoyed drinking this and back then, many years ago, when I drank my first one, and there was a hype about this beer already, I know I could die happy, having tasted them all.

Wonderfull smell, beautiful foam and intense dark colour. In mouth Hot palete of aroma
