So smooth for the high abv...very complex, I tasted something different with every sip...1st spicy, then subtle booziness, then fruitiness, then caramel, then chocolate, and slightly malty throughout



Excited to finally try this after years of waiting.. A legit quad.. It's hard to say this is the #2 beer in the world, cuz I've tried way too many styles of beers the past few years,but one of the better authentic belgian quads I've had... Definitely lives up to the hype...Dark fruit, caramel, malt, almost a dab of chocolate some sips.. Barely any bite or boozy finish.. 4.5 stars...Great beer..(call me crazy but I still think the Rochefort 8 is still better and the best belgian beer I've had)







A - extremely dark. Fine bubbles in the head. Never fully disappears
S - burnt caramel
T - fruity at the front of my tongue. Very slight alcohol burn... Very well balanced. Taste lingers
M - tongue feels coated after drinking. Tongue primer. Pleasant.
O - yum. No idea if it's really the best beer in the world but worth trying.



Caramel/malt & raisin with a strong alcohol taste. It has a lot going on, but is delicious! Even more so due to enjoying it in a tiny alley bar in Brussels.







As far as Trappist ales go this is the pinnacle. If in Belgium a must! Rare is an understatement. What a great beer!
