Tap at Acido Acida 2021, in Ferrara, Italy. Pours brown, kind of unattractive. Aroma is rich: malty, caramel, figs, woody. Body is thick, sticky, with moderate carbonation. Taste is markedly sweet. Final is fairly long and pleasant.

23rd September 2020 Clear amber brown beer, just a few tan bubbles that aren't even numerous enough to form a halo. Palate is smooth and relatively light. Reasonable fine carbonation. Light caramel malts, a trace of malt cream sweetness, but the latter is kept in check by an unusually (for a quad) bitter undertone. A vague whiff of salty licorice in the bitterness. Good ripe fruits on top, and they are much needed to bring this quad to heel. Quite a spicy warning finish, some mild gum numb to boot. A flavoursome quad for sure, but if you have one of these, I would give it a couple of years at least.

Bottle shared with Caesar. Murky brown color, virtually no head. Aroma is malts, sweetish, (Dutch) "peperkoek". Flavor is similar, with some spices and a candy sugary and slight raisins note. Quite ok. I quite like this one.

Keg @ Bailey Head. Pours a hazed deep amber brown, minimal off-white bubbles atop. Aroma brings sweet, dark candi sugar, nutty caramelised notes. Overall character is perhaps too reliant on the candi sugar / muscovado additions which dominate with an overly sweet presence, more richness of dark malt seem appropriate to balance out this sticky, almost cloyingly sweet booziness, accentuated by a weak carbonation. Trappist clones rarely work (the bar is pretty high) and this simply falls way short.
