Brewed since 1997 in Chambly, Quebec. Due to its complex character, this beer immediately attracted a lot of fans. Its fruity notes and high alcohol level often draw comparisons to port.
Crafted with four types of malt and just as many exotic spices, this deep brown ale offers notes of black cherry and dark rum.

A very dark brown beer, a head is big, clouding and beige. Aroma has riped fruits, raisins, prunes, flowers and some lime. Aromatic flowerness is refreshning the aroma. Taste has riped fruits, prunes, flowers and some lime. Medium bodied, strong carbonation, but softly. Strong flavours are fresh and there are not any heavy nuancess. Also great aromatic notes. The great beer. Slightly similar than the other great beer, Abbaye des Rocs Triple Impériale.

From a 355ml bottle on 1/2/2016. Pours a deep mahogany with a medium head. The nose features chocolate, dark fruit and a bit of spice. Taste wise, it’s bold and complex, beginning with chocolate and caramel malt, followed by plums, dates and peach, with some mild spiciness at the back. The palate is quite creamy and the carbonation light and a little fizzy. A really cohesive, approachable and enjoyable dessert beer. Definitely amongst the best quads I’ve had.

Flaska på Beer-ditch. 2004 vintage, drucken rumsvarm. Djup mörk bärnstensfärg med krämigt skum. Stor riktigt fin doft av madeira, portvin, torkade dadlar, fikon och päron. Snudd på en 10:a. Smaken avslöjar tyvärr att konditionen inte riktigt är på topp, ganska platt munkänsla utan kraft och värme, torkad frukt och madeira men mer platt och sirapssött och en del lakrits eftersmaken dör ut ganska snabb och lämnar en eftersmak av lakritsal. Har druckit den färsk för löänge sedan och det var roligt att prova en gammal.

Flaska på Beer Ditch Malmö. 11-årig flaska, smak och doft av mörk sirap, mörk torkad frukt, plommon toner av karamell och lakrisalpastill. Fin doft av Madeira men smaken hänger inte med, platt, sötsliskig, ändå kolsyra kvar efter alla år. Svårbedömd!

Bottle. A- Brown sugar, dark fruits, grapes, slightly boozy. A- Dark mahogany color, dark liquid, tan head. T- Brown sugar, grapes, raisins, candied fruits, alcohol. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, dry finish. O- This was indeed more of a wine feel than what I am used to in a Quad. Felt a little odd on the mouth feel and not the complexity it should have. A little let down here.

Bottle from Drinks of the World, Geneva. Pours mid to dark brown. Intense candy sugar and yeast aroma. Sweet taste with a naked alcohol burn: tastes as strong as it is! Nicely carbonated body. This is an intense beer and while it isn’t quite as balanced as many of the classic Trappist quads, it’s still a fairly special beer.
