Quadrupel (including religious reference) from this Norwegian craft brewer, shared by Goedele at BCBF. Lacing, off-white, medium thick head, hazy ruddy bronze-brown robe. Aroma of raisins, candied figs, caramel, melting brown sugar, tea, lots of rum and very strong solvents (nail polish remover). Sweet, sugary onset, candi sugary sweetness, candied fig, dates, plums, softish carbo; caramelly, bit resiny, toffeeish malt body, sweet and a bit bready but feeling a bit on the thin side for the style; chocolatey notes in the end, but soon overpowered by retronasal solvent effects again (glue), as well as (a bit too) outspoken rum-like alcohol. Fairly simple and bit thin-bodied, and way too 'solventy' - it seems the generations of experience set by the trappist monks, creators and masters of this particular style, is hard to top.

(Thank you!) Sampled draft @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2017. 2015 Vintage. Amber brown, small head. Nose is herbal cloying sweet BE spices. Thin herbal quite oxidized in not the best way, way too herbal, thin, esters. Meh not my thing.

Sampled @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2017. A dark brown beer with a mid sized most good lasting beige head. Aroma of red fruits, red malt, strong malt. Taste of mild sweet red fruits, riped fruits, grainy malt.
