750mL corked and caged bottle pours a light mahogany with copper hues and thin off white head. The aroma is full and rich and beckons the imbiber. I get some booze cut with a bit of red wine booze (no tartness) and then some dark fruity esters covered in brown sugar. The taste is running all over the place as I get booze, brown sugar and prune to raisin like fruity esters mixing with molasses soaked black pepper corns. This all comes together nicely and creates a pleasing sipping experience. Darn yummy Quad.

33cl bottle from La Maison Belge, Puerto de la Cruz. Pours slightly hazy amber with a small off-white head. Fruity, malty and hoppy aroma with candi sugar, dried fruits and hints of yeast and alcohol. Sweet, full-bodied and vinous. Fairly soft carbonation, Lovely, desserty beer for dark and cold evenings, but enjoyable anytime. Well balanced, usually this would be way to sweet for me, but it somehow isn’t. Excellent and delicious quad!

Bottle: Poured a copperishred amber with a creamy off white color head. The aroma is sweet fruit hints of plums. Taste blasts out of the glass as at first it stings the tongue, then is subsides to leave a sugary caramel malt, which eventually finishes dry tingly.

Pulled the cage and, BLAMMY! Cork took off like a rocket! Glad i,m outdoors, Damn! Poured a big ass tan ,large bubbled head that lasted for awhile leaving behind a scant lacing. Clear, amber colored brew. Nose of fruit, melons, spice and a nice maltiness. Medium body, lucious mouthfeel, velvetty. Hints of raisins, medium sweet malt, caramel, yeast, a hint of malasses and maybe some sugary notes. One highly quaffable brew for an 11%er. Not overly complex but very interesting. An almost undry finish. Nice Quad!

Single from the SAQ imports. Pours a very slight amber colour with a fizzy off-white head that disappears quickly and leaves no lace. Aromas of nuts, dark fruits, yeast, alcohol and caramel. Brown sugar taste with some raisin notes and light spices. Alcohol well hidden in the mouthfeel, but overall is not my thing.

Pours kind of lifeless and murky. In spite of a careful pour, fine floaties fill the glass. Smells of bread and fruit. Silky mouthfeel. The taste is remarkable. Bread and yeast mix with apricots. This tastes like a friggin danish. The alcohol is almost undetectable except for a warming finish. If you can get past the appearance, this is a fantastic beer.

The alcohol was very noticeable in this beer. A clear rust coloured beer with a minimal head. Aroma is primarily spicy and yeasty, with a definite hint of alcohol. Similar flavour profile. Not an enjoyable beer.
