Poured into a goblet. "19:14" and "K17L10" on the bottle, if that means anything.

3.5 A: Murky orange mahogany color. One finger of creamy off-white head. Retention is okay for the ABV and a short ring of lacing is left.

4.5 S: Wonderful nose on this. Earthy and fruity - prototypical of the region. Dates, figs, plums, prunes, raisin, and tobacco. Light pepper and clove yeastiness. "Clean" earthiness. All the aromas blend together really well. Quite impressed.

3.75 T: Tastes like the nose, except that it's much, much earthier. Usually I wouldn't mind this, but it distracts from the fruitiness. Fruits mentioned above with a light spicy yeastiness. Still good.

4.0 M: Lighter medium body. Pleasant, spritzy carbonation. Smooth.

3.75 D: Tasty beer. I was in the mood for something just like this.

A: reddish orange with a huge white head. Nice tight bubbles.

S: figs and caramel. banana and very bready. A little yeast and a punch in the face of overly ripe (rotten) cherries.

T: Sour cherries up front followed by a lingering banana. Lots of caramel and fig. Almost a wine tannin quality up front. Sour plum as well. Reminiscent of raspberry marmalade.

M: This is a thick brew. not much in the way of carbonation.

O: Pretty simple compared to other trappist quads but still delicious and bursting with flavor. Very enjoyable / 88

A: Hazy, with lively carbonation tossing around yeast flakes, beautiful reddish amber in color. single finger cream head trying to be a nitro head.
S: Yellow plum, decaying apricot, slight plastic yeast punch.
T: Sweet fermenting prunes, faint nutty (cashew) aftertaste, alcohol is present but not in a negative way, makes it more like a brandy
M: quite Smooth,
O: I guess it's good for the style, but quads aren't my thing. It actually resembles an intense tripel
