August 2020: 330 ml bottle, from Être Gourmet, Belgium. ABV is 9.0%. Cloudy dark brown colour, moderate to small beige head. Aroma of malts and smoke, hints of dark chocolate and cherries. The flavour is distinctly fruity (hints of cherries again) and moderately smokey and roasty, not too sweet. Easy drinking for its strength, quite enjoyable.

Bottle from High Point, Vancouver
Dark amber/brown colour. Some aroma of malt and balsamic. The body is ok, the residual sweetness is limited, some malt, caramel, balsamic, and light alcohol.
It's ok, but not really complex.

Sensory Session #55: opaque, black color and a small tan head. Only slightly smokey, malty sweetness, faint chocolate and dried apricots as it gets warmer. Rather short finish. Expected some more smoke and cookies as stated at the label.

Aus der Flasche im 2022-03 getrunken. Dieses Quadrupel kommt mit einer kräftigen, beständigen Schaumkrone daher. Am Gaumen ist es ganz cremig und weich. Neben den schokoladigen, malzigen Aroma kann man anfangs Hauch von Kirschkernen und eine ganz leichte Rauchnote. Doch beides verschwindet sofort insbesondere wenn das Bier etwas wärmer wird. Sehr lecker dieses Bier!

Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een donkerbruin bier zonder schuim. Het heeft een rokerige zure geur. De smaak is rokerig en vreemd met gebrande koffie en chocolade.
