look: 4.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Poured from a 11.2oz brown bottle.

Pours a murky dark brown color. Very nice 3 finger dark head. Nice semi-foamy lacing too. Sediment in the bottle too which I like.

Very nice aroma on this one. It is sweet with the smells of raisons, flowers, fruits, caramel like smells, malts, etc. Hard to pin anything specific down as it smells very complex.

Taste is very good. Lots of nice malts, semi sweet tastes too, raisons and caramel. There is also some coffee like tastes and some bitterness too. As others have said, it does almost have a medicinal taste to it as well. The finish tastes very medicinal and is very strong and somewhat tingly. Very nice mouthfeel, and drinkable.

Overall this is a very good beer. The Trappist's really know how to make a good one.

A: A lot of sediment floating in a dark murky brown beer. no head but a nice lacing on is left of the glass.

4.65/5  rDev +2.6%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.75

Appearance – A super dark amber brown color, with a nice very light brown head that sticks around for a long time, and lots of lacing. A little sediment at the bottom.

Smell – A wonderful sweet scent, unlike anything I can describe. Maybe brown sugar, toffee, malt, and cherry with a touch of chocolate. But it’s very unique, and that description may not do it justice.

Taste – The taste is just as unique as the smell. Malty, with brown sugar, port, and a uniqueness that I find difficult to describe.

Mouthfeel – Perfectly carbonated, incredibly smooth, and the 11.3% abv is exceptionally well hidden.

Drinkability – Highly drinkable. I tried this alongside all the top quadruples (except the Westvleteren, which I’m saving for a head to head competition with the best), and found this one to be the best.

4.36/5  rDev -3.8%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Poured a 330 mL bottle into a snifter.

A: Pours a cloudy dark brown with a head that disappears quickly.

S: Strong hints of plums and figs, and some yeastiness.

T: Initial hit of dark fruits and gives way to strong malt flavor and lingering spices. The alcohol content is incredibly well-hidden as well.

M: Medium carbonation that leaves a smooth and creamy finish. Easy to keep drinking.

O: I admittedly have had few quads relative to some other styles, but this is currently my favorite example of the style. Definitely happy that it is widely available.
