(Bottle) Pours clear deep brown with red highlights and big pale caramel head. Lovely complex aroma with interesting yeasty notes, dark berries, dried fruit, port. Full bodied, smooth with lovely prickly carbonation. Great taste too. Complex and rich and so well balanced. There’s some initial fruity tartness which quickly gives way to toffee sweetness which is slowly and steadily joined by a nice bitterness, for a long complex finish. There’s a lot more going on. There’s banana and ester notes in the mid palate. There’s a port-like booziness in the finish. Excellent.

bottle. Finally got my hands on one of these amazing beers. So intense - the color, the flavor - the full bodied, damn fine Quad. I love it!

9 years old. A lot of port, soft oxidization, chocolate milk. Actually became more close to Rochefort somehow. Pretty good, but would not age it longer.
