Thanks 4balance for this beer. It's been on my radar for some time now. Poured from bomber to pokal:
Pours a nice ruby red / pear gold body with a noisy finger of off white head that dissipates almost instantly. Steady, slow beading.
The nose is certainly Belgian - sour bread, figs, red grapes, some funky yeast, raisins, there's a touch of soft wood if you really hunt for it.
On the tongue, it's a bit more agreeable than many true Belgian dubbels. There's a certain level of balance that you might not be familiar with.
I wish the mouthfeel was a bit thicker. One of my favorite aspects of the quad/dubbel genre is that velvety consistency. Apart from that though, this beer is well executed.

5 year old bottle kept refrigerated.
Appearance: Murky brown glass, holds a thin head.
Aroma: Purple grape jam, Belgian yeast, grainy wheat.
Taste: Mellow fruity base, yeasty banana note, rum soaked raisins, mild cola note.
Mouthfeel: Low carbonation, warm alcohol, dry finish.
Overall: Held up really well. No off flavors or aromas, probably mellowed out a lot, it's likely over 5 years old, it has the 2009 Gold medal winner award on the label. A nice cellar experiment, would try again.

This is my definition of what a Belgian-style beer should taste like. It has a nice head when poured on the right glass . The bouquet is subtle but magnificent at the same time. Extraordinary complexity in the flavors with a perfect, lingering fruity aftertaste. A perfectly balanced beer that should be in your arsenal at all times.
