3.7 De color café oscuro y con una corona beige duradera, desprende un aroma de frutos rojos y licor. El sabor es bastante dulce; esconde fácilmente el gran ABV que posee. Sabe a pasas, higos y malta tostada. El aftertaste es de licor, recuerda al brandy. De cuerpo grueso.

3.9 Goed

3.8 330ml bottle bought from the Offie and drunk at home. Very dark brown with a touch of mahogany. Small beige head leaving spotty lacing. Liquorice and treacle dominate the aroma, with a little smoke and some raisins. Sweet taste - almost too sweet - and the liquorice overpowers the burnt sugar and stone fruit character. Light bitterness in the finish leading to more balance. Raisin, fig and vinous notes in the aftertaste. Thick body, medium carbonation. Special.

3.6 Light brown creamy beige head. Brown colour. Aroma is malty with fruity (walnuts, prunes, raisins and light licorice) and coriander and cloves notes. Flavor is malty too with fruity (prunes, dates and figs) tones, ending in a dark fruity finish. Full bodied.

3.3 Beige kop, zwart, geurt zoetig caramel, smaken van caramel mout en hout. Dik mondgevoel.

4.2 Anders dan andere quadruples. Geen choco of koffie maar Zuiderse geuren. Top!

3.6 Pullo @ de Biertonne. Kaatuu tulppaaniin hyvin tummana ja sameahkona, noin kahden sormen paksuisella pysyvällä vaahdolla. Tuoksussa on vahvimpana rusinat ja muut kuivatut hedelmät. Lisäksi muuta hedelmää, hieman mausteista hiivaisuutta, hennosti sokerista karamellia ja makeaa mallasta tuntuu. Maku on kuivattujen hedelmien juhlaa, mutta siihen yhdistyy yrttistä mausteisuutta, viinikumia ja marjaisuuttakin. Suutuntuma on melko makea ja täyteläinen, alkoholikin tuntuu selvästi. Makea ja kuivattujen hedelmien täyttämä maku ja tuoksu, alkoholi ei täysin piilossa pysy, mutta suht hyvin on tasapainossa.

3.7 Red-brown with a off white relatively moderate head. Aroma: Malt - toffee, sirup, a hint of tobacco. Some esters, light phenolic. Mouth. Sweet, moderately bitter. Medium/full body.

3.7 33 cl bottle. Solid dark color with creamy head. Complex smell, not super great taste but not disapointed by a belgium giant. Cheers!

3.4 Tastes a bit of coffee. Sweet and think then bitter.

3.5 Fles bier uit 2015. Het bier is mooi donker van kleur met een milde crème kleurige schuimkraag. Het bier smaakt zoetig en mooi donker moutig. Daarnaast is er een mooie zoetige plakkerige alcohol smaak, een fijn kruidig aroma, de smaak van koriander en dat van lichte koffie. Eindigt mooi zoetig en plakkerig.

3.8 Bottle from Eltham Wines. Dark brown pour with a beige head. Nose is cola,dates,prunes, raisins, blackcurrant. Taste is very similar to the above (minus the blackcurrant) with a spot of sweet spice coming through in the close.

3.5 Bottle (2014/10/07) pour from Harvest Market, Bedford (last bottle from them, RIP). It's a cloudy dark brown (cola) with no sparkle or head. Aroma is caramel, figs and plums. Taste follows aroma along with tart fruit. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, mild alcohol warmth, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, age was probably not kind to this and the flavors are decent, though could be stronger. OK.

3.5 750 ml bottle. Shared by by tfontana. Thanks Tom. 2014 vintage. Dark brown with low carbonation. Aroma is yeast, raisins, prune. Flavor has the same profile. Date, prunes, figs. Mouthfeel is a bit off but that is because of the age. Decent.

4.6 Zeker te doen

4.3 Bottle from Total Wine in Austin, TX. Aroma is prunes, raisins, vanilla, caramel, cherry, chocolate covered cherries, hint of licorice. Taste is tangy, prunes, earthy vanilla, stewed cherries. Very complex...maybe a bit thin in body but stilll...a beautifully stewed concoction.

3.9 Color granate muy oscuro, casi negro, muy turbia, casi opaca. Espuma beige, cremosa, de más de un dedo de espesor y buena retención. Aroma intenso, vino tinto, barrica, dátiles y azúcar, ligeras uvas pasas, frutos rojos y especias sin definir, quizá pimienta blanca, notas de avellanas y vinagre balsámico. Sabor intenso, en la línea del aroma aunque más "oscuro", maltas tostadas, azúcar moreno, licor de avellanas, dátiles y levadura belga, final medio largo, primera impresión de agradable amargor "belga" que deja paso al dulzor de las pasas y el alcohol. Textura semioleosa con cuerpo pleno. Carbonatación media baja. Maravillosa, sin duda, aunque sin aquella primera impresión de la Donker que me dejó sin palabras.

3.8 Dark murky brown on tap. Big chocolate cherry notes, less figgy and less pronounced yeast than most quads. Super smooth for the abv.

4.8 Caramel and brown sugar. Figs. Dried dark fruits. Full bodied. Red beans. Some vanilla and herbs. Abit of coffee nose. Oily mouthfeel. Complex flavours. A little bit of umami finish. Tasty and potent. Amazing quadrupel.

4.0 Color tonaca di frate, versa poca schiuma. Aroma di spezie e frutti scuri. In bocca sentori di frutti scuri, spezie e caramello. Alcol leggermente presente durante la bevuta. Una buona quadrupel bel bilanciata anche se non molto complessa.

4.0 Lekker bier in een mooi fragiel glas

3.7 Pours a deep rich brown. Almost no head on this beer, though bubbles attach the surface from below. This beer looks like a super rich coffee. Aroma of sour yeast. Rich caramel and malt flavors are strong in this beer. Also fruit and figs. Sweet, smooth, and creamy in the mouth. A heavy, sweet beer that is smooth to drink.

3.6 Pours dark chestnut with medium beige head. Roasted malts, brown sugar, hazelnuts, dried fruits, figs, caramel. Full body and soft to medium carbonation.

4.9 Uma das melhores cervejas que já bebi. A nível de paladar é fascinante. Nunca desilude.

4.2 Butelka. Czarny kolor. Piana beżowa, dość duża, opada szybko do obręczy. W aromacie palony słód, karmel, susz owocowy, lekkie nuty wilgotnego drewna. W smaku ponownie słodkie nuty suszonych owoców, są daktyle i rodzynki, palony słód, karmel.wysycenie średnie, słodycz w górnych rejonach. Za wyjątkowością tego piwa stoi delikatny posmak szampana, który przez swoją wytrawność niweluje słodkie i ciężkie posmaki, piwo staje się lekkie a 11 procent jest mniej uciążliwe niż niedzielny obiad u cioci... Z pewnością wrócę...

3.7 The aroma is of Kasteelbier I remember drinking 10 years ago, was quite fond of that one, not knowing any better ;-). Taste is nice and complex. Only thing that is bothering me is the description on their website, suggesting is ’tastes’ like a 10yo cellared dark Kasteelbier, but not really saying if it did age in cask or not... some clarity would be welcome. It is a very decent beer, so why ‘lie’ about it???

3.4 Potente sabor, notas a cafe, poco gas.

4.0 90,5

4.0 Enjoyed: Poured from a bottle into trappist glass. Appearance: Dark brown colour, medium head which soon fades to smaller but still nice one. Aroma: Malt, caramel, brown sugar. Palate: Full body, creamy, gentle carbonation. Taste: Malt, caramel, cocoa, hint of coffee, sweet with gently touch of bitterness in aftertaste with warm mouth feel. Overall impression: Drinkable and enjoyable, tasty; alcohol is not sensible considering ABV.

5.0 Best winery grape taste, but beer! 👍
