5/XI/17 - 33cl bottle from a trade @ home - BB: 15/XII/19 (2017-1856) Thanks to Bierridder_S for the trade!
Pretty clear amber to red brown beer, big creamy yellowish head, bit fizzy, dissipates quickly. Aroma: caramel, alcohol, bit sourish, some chocolate, some dried fruits, yeast, some banana, orange peel. MF: too much carbon, medium body. Taste: bit acidic, sourish touch, lots of CO2, lots of alcohol, pretty bitter, oxidized. Aftertaste: oxidised, bit metallic, some caramel, sourish touch, soft bitterness, fuirty touch, sweet caramel, overripe banana, bit syrupy, some dates.

Classically conceived quad - after equally classic blonde and tripel in this series. Very thick and dense, rocky, pale greyish white head, hazy deep ruddy bronze colour perturbed by fierce sparkling. Aroma of dried apple peel, blue grapes, old raisins, diluted chocolate milk, caramel, brownies, peanuts, dried flowers, gin, some wet dog. Sweet onset, ripe figs and blue plums, some dried banana, very fizzy carbonation even for a Belgian style ale; still supple, full mouthfeel though, based on sweet caramelly malts with a light sourish edge. Herbal, bit spicy hop bitter accent in the finish, well-placed, but the sweetness continues, highlighted by a rum-like, warming alcohol effect. Clean, full-bodied, balanced and to the point, not over the top in sweetness like some other new quads, this is actually nicely done, though admittedly it doesn't add a lot to the Belgian beer map as this style has been done to death already (not to mention the even more ubiquitous blondes and tripels) - so if this is the quality level this new micro brewery can present us with, I hope they will find the creativity to come up with something less 'passé' than these three beers...

12/02/2017 - 33cl bottle shared with the brewer @ his home. Cloudy chocolate brown with light tanned head. Nose is malty, caramel, hops. MF just tick enough. Taste is first malty, some milk chocolate, caramel, than some dark to even gentle roasted malts, hops and little to hardly no sweetness in the end. Nice interpretation of the style. Not overly sweet or syrupy but with a nice hoptouch in the end.
