Bottle at LKS - thanks to Dirty Danny. It pours hazy red - brown with small tan head. The aroma is juicy, tangy, red berry, leathery, raisin, sultana, cherry skin, brioche and brown bread. The taste is slick, oily, sticky, boozy, wood, earth, spice, orange marmalade, tangy berry, toasty sugars, oak, toffee and a touch of vanilla. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Fun stuff with a good depth of flavour.

Vintage 2012, men flaskad för ett par år sedan. Kopparröd/ kastanjefärgad med beigevitt skum. Doft och smak av mörkt kandisocker, belgojäst, torkade plommon och aprikoser, maltsötma, russin, fat och bourbon. Förvånansvärt lättdrucken för en fatlagrad belgare. Gott, men vill minnas att den andra varianten jag druckit av denna vad bra mycket bättre.

Bottle from 01.04.2012. Hazy amber colour. Off-white well-lacing head. Aroma: Belgian beauty with a subtle barrel touch. Some hops as well. Full body. Moderately sweet taste. Smooth malts, fine yeast, nuts, dried fruit, low bitterness. Delicious stuff. Just not a Quad.

Bottle shared in Hackney - many thanks to Danny. Pours mostly clear ruby with a small, creamy tan head. The nose has some butterscotch, toffee, brown bread. Medium to big sweet flavour with some creamy honey, toffee, more brown bread. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, smooth and creamy, more toffee, butterscotch, no bitterness. Great stuff.

Aus der Flasche (Vintage 2011/brewed 06.02.2011/bottled 30.09.2014/bbe 30.10.2019) im 2022-05 getrunken. Hier trifft wunderbar Hefeeinfluß auf leichter Säure eines Flämish Red und kräftigen, süßlichen Malzaromen. Auch dieses Vintage macht mit seiner langen Flaschenlagerung einfach Spaß im Glas. Aus der Flasche (Vintage 2012) im 2017-12 getrunken. Auch diense hier ist wieder ein spitzen Bier. Der tolle Hefeeinfluß harmoniert mit dem Malzigen Aromen verdammt gut. Diese Kombination und das doppelte BA ist bei diesen schweren Belgier ist einfach klasse.

Pours clear deep gold into a tulip. Head quickly recedes to nothing. Dark pit fruit aromas. Sweet caramel and molasses upfront turning to hot vanilla, bourbon and plum wine in the lasting burn finish.
