5 month old bottle. Very carbonated on the pour. Foamy darker white head. Dark brown color typical of quads. Definitely getting huge dark fruits like plums and the candy Belgium flavor. Getting a little bit of the chocolate flavor like from RIS's. Solid quad.

Although this beer is good, the hype is a little too much. Yea, it's BA no. 1 beer, but there are other Trappist Quads that easily measure up to this...

Although quads aren't my favorite style, this was enjoyable!

Wow. My first bottle from the precious brick. Very complex flavor. Tall head in beer flute, shorter in IPA glass. Cocoa and unsweet orange in the nose. taste is Overtones of coffee, soft resin, pear and molasses. Soft carbonation on palate, smooth texture and fruity aftertaste. Strong sweet alcohol taste. Lovely.

A: deep brown, cloudy, lacy head that thins out and remains for a while. S: raisins, figs, caramel, black cherry, booze. T: very strong alcohol punch, then balanced by dark fruits, caramel, and malts. Almost a rum aftertaste when warmer. M: huge, velvety, warming, and smooth. O: Lives up to the hype! Exceptional beer. Extremely flavorful and intense, yet balanced and drinkable.

Incredible. Very complex but worth the money to at least try it once.
