330ml bottle from Northmead Cellars, into a Mikkeller wine glass.

Murky, muddy brown water. Yellowy tinge to the off-white foam that recedes quickly and then disappears.

Lot of figs to smell, along with raisin & prune juice. Held onto this for some time and there's no booze to smell and it seems quite settled.

Tastes of raisin and prune juice. Time has made it pretty approachable for the abv. Fruity, not boozy.

Larger bodied, stil get some carbonation to stop it seemingly becoming too heavy. Warming, long almost vinous finish.

Good beer. Something I haven't drunk in seemingly forever. Consistent, a big warmer and something to savour slowly. I wouldn't rave about it, but its quite solid

Finally found it and got my hands on three bottles.... saving two of them for a few years.

Everything to me about this brew was exceptional to me aside from a Tad over carbonated for my "personal" taste.

The smell was terrific the taste followed the nose and overall it is a nice balance of everything... the look was ehh.. nothing to rave about but it looked pleasing. best quad I've had and a must get when you see it.

Maybe after 5 years it will lose a little carbonation and be a 5

11.2 oz. bottle poured into goblet
(11/07/17 printed on label; bought this in February, let it sit in the fridge until June)

L: murky caramel to darker brown with lots of debris; big head for a beer poured into a goblet, at least 1/4-inch or more. ugly as can be with all the stuff floating around in it, but the base color and head are awesome.

S: sour grapes/wine but with sweet malt ... sweet biscuits/bread. it's a constant back-and-forth between these two things for me: sometimes more wine, sometimes more sweet light malt.

T: lots of alcohol and very wine-like but damn is it good. sweet grapes with a fantastic malty foundation; it's like a candied sour apple.

F: so perfect, so much carbonation with a perfect medium weight -- the carbonation really makes this brew work for me.

O: I get it. While it's not much to look at, this brew is exactly what I love about the Belgian beers: loads of taste in a super-carbonated vehicle that makes it incredibly drinkable. I expected it to be super dark (licorice/raisins) like a Belgian strong dark ale, but it's not even in the same neighborhood -- MUCH, much lighter and more like a dubbel on steroids.

I'll try other quads to see what's what with the style, but there is no doubt I will be drinking more Rochefort 10 ... sure, it's expensive, but one every month or so seems like a necessity, it's just so good.
