An 11.2 ounce bottle of the 2010 vintage, generously sent by optimator13; thank you! Enjoyed via goblet back during the site outage, and transfered now from my review spreadsheet.

Pours a dark mahogany color with deep blood red hues; a two centimeter thick layer of tan head develops with glorious retention. Even twenty minutes in, I’m still greeted by a thin layer of khaki bubbles coating the surface of the liquid. Minimal lacing.

The aroma is of date, dark cherry, raisin, plum, faint oak, a touch of chocolate, ample caramel, clove, and perhaps a faint hint of nutmeg. Very complex and inviting.

Prominent flavors include the dark cherry, date, plum, oak, and some warming alcohol. Also noticeable are the caramel, raisin, chocolate, clove, and other muddled spice flavors (can’t seem to identify them, sorry). Again, well balanced and delicious, but I am surprised with the prominence of the alcohol.

Mouthfeel is great; amply carbonated, not overly sticky or resinous, coats the palate whilst drinking yet finishes relatively cleanly. Warming alchol on the finish, but minimal to no burn.

Overall, a great quadrupel and an instant favorite of mine. It is certainly worthy of praise and acclaim.

Completely not what I expected going in. I've had plenty of Belgian quads, but this is so much different. It has the typical raisin/plum taste and smell, but this one is so much more. There's a hint of a stout as well - coffee and dark roasted malt. Also, there's a nice oaken flavor to it. I would call this one very complex - so many different things to taste in this beer and the aroma is very complex as well. I very much like this beer.
