2008 bottle, drank 2011 at Kulminator in Antwerp, poured into a De Struise tulip.

Almost black, with three finger off-white head.

Very rich aroma, typical quad with lots of dark fruits, raisins, figs, plums. Good chocolate in the scent too. Smells deep and rich.

Taste is darker than I expected. More chocolate, very sweet. Also, an unexpected roast flavor. It doesn't dominate, but it creeps up underneath the traditional quad flavors. Sweeter and roastier than most quads, but that adds to the complexity. Very rich and chewy. Fulfilling and savory.

A top of the line but unique quad.

Oh my! I was recommended this at Redstone liquors in Stoneham, MA and decided to take a chance. Couldn't be happier that I did! Amazing quad, loaded with dark fruits and malts, but perfectly balanced. High amount of sweetness, but it just works. Finished clean and lingers beautifully. World class quad - very fortunate to have tried this. Right up there with Rochefort 10 and so subtly different it compares favorably.

Sediment floats in dark, dark brown that's not quite opaque. A light tan head foam rests on top. Murky, for the style.

Pine, earthy notes. Barely noticeable.

Tastes somewhere between oak and maple, not really a combination of the two. A stain of coffee and caramel leaves something to be desired, however, there is a warm brown sugar/molasses character. I imagined something more aggressive yet this is rather kindly and mild. Something may have been lost in transit.

The body's surprisingly light for what looks like a stout. Generally refreshing.
