Much lighter than I expected for a quad. Ruby, brown, cloudy and dense, with a frothy head.

Lighter aroma too but just as full and complex as most quads. Figs, white raisins, toffee, caramel, big yeast, and malt sweetness.

Taste is wonderfully sweet and complex. More of lighter fruits, like figs, than other quads. Very rich, deep flavor. I can't help savor it as I drink it. Each sip is a little different than the last. Very creamy and also quite refreshing. Like other great quads, this one continues to be delicious as it warms.

Serving type: on-tap

750ml bottle into tulip

Appearance: cloudy amber mahogony with bubbly 1 finger white head

Smell:dark fruits, cherries, plum, figs, bready notes, coriander

Taste: sweet like a chimay but with more pronounced dark fruits and plum notes. Lots of bready malt on the back end, alcohol is probably the most hidden for any qua i've had. Almost feels more like a trippel... So well balanced and smooth you get a very apple like aftertaste, amazing flavors in this beer.

Mouthfeel: really, really high in carbonation. One of the most carbonated beers ive had, easily masks any alcohol and fits well with this style. Has the feel of a soda pop, but much more full bodied.

Overall: Another great trappist beer, this feels more like a trippel than a quad, but maybe thats just due to how well balanced and drinkable this is for such a high abv beer. Very sweet with lots of dark fruit and breadiness.

22 oz bomber poured into my Boulevard tulip

A - Effervescent amber color that you would expect from a quad. Poured a nice two-finger head. Lingering lacing.

S - First aromas I got were light grapes and some other darker fruits. Also had a hint of flowery aroma to it.

T - got some darker fruits lke dates,figs, as well as banana, and sweet esters. Some booziness to it but not as much as expected. Cloves and several milder spices come through as well on the back end.

M - lighter-bodied feel to it with mild to medium carbonation. Didn't get that boozy heat as it hides the 10% abv quite well

O - Nice Quad and a really good example of this style. I would definitely drink again.
