Bottle at Fiere Margriet, Leuven, Belgium: Hazy dark brown coloured brew with an slightly spiced taste and its very easy to drink with that high alcohol.

A delivery from Belgian Happiness of a 33 cl bottle containing Den 12. My good fortune to get another quadrupel to try. Out of the cabinet comes the Straffe Hendrik snifter for this sampling. The body is mahogany brown while the head is a thin distribution of of fawn-tan foam. I like the scent, dates, raisin bread and toffee. I follow with a drink. I like this also. Dense fruit cake with figs, oranges and pecans, sorghum, caramel, dark cherries and a small bitterness at the end. I can determine the alcohol in the background. Better than anticipated and that is good.

Bottled. Brown color. Plums and raisin in the aroma. Sugary sweet, vinous flavor with pineapple and plums. The sugar hides the alcohol, but also the complexity that should be there.

Bottle shared in London - picked up in Belgium. Best before September 2012, drank in mid 2018. Pours mostly clear ruby with a small, creamy head. The nose holds tangy dried fruits, sweat, bread. Medium sweet flavour, certainly a bit oxidised, with more tangy berry character, alcohol, brown bread. Warming finish, with notes of leathery berries, more alcohol and bready malts. Novel!

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker. Pours hazy dark brown with a lasting, big, slowly thinning, foamy, beige head. Aroma of pear syrup, candied plum, soy milk, green apple (faint acetaldehyde), nutmeg, marzipan & almond, raisin, gingerbread, liqueur. Taste is medium to heavy malty sweet, hints of candied plum, dried banana & sweet licorice, caramelly too, whilst a 'young' note of green apple pops up, next to some pear syup, rendering it a bit phenolic and introducing a medium spicy bitterness, fit for balance, with nutmeg & gingerbread, herbal accent, and constant dark & dried fruits in the back. Dryish, herbal, bit peppery hoppy finish, lingering dough, gingerbread, some caramel, and a good dash of warming brandy-, almost amaretto-like alcohol, heating up the throat effectively. Medium to full body, syrupy texture, fizzy carbonation. Good, full, tasty brew, 'cleaner' than expected; easily one of Gaverhopke's best...

Bottle at Craft CG share thanks to LKS. It pours cloudy reddish - brown with a small beige head. The aroma is rich, oily, malt-driven, musty, oxidised, Oxo cubes, bisto and wet cardboard. The taste is tart, tangy, fruity, meaty malts, old musty vibes, oxidised character throughout, bisto, sugars and berry skin. Medium body and fine carbonation. Meaty and tangy.... So not what I was hoping for from a quad. Totally bollocksed.
