From tap. Pours hazy brown with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted, light fruity. Toasted malty, sweet and caramelish. Light bitter and toasted malty. Sweet and toasted into the finish.

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, Belgie, consumed at dad’s Thursday 19th February 2015 Pours dark brown with an off white head. Fruity and very tart, I have to confess I hadn’t realised that this was a sour beer. Some wet wood in the mouth, fruit skins, it is enjoyable but very tart and tangy. Good. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Very good cream head, faintly irregular, over brown-black beer with a ruby shine, shards of lace. Warm, coloured malts, brown candi sugar, mild lactic acid smell. Further liquorice, wood, dried dark fruit. Fine sourish-sweetish, wood and lactic acid, buttermilk. Bit of chocolate with banana filling. Fusels & esters. Not very well-bodied, but refreshing, titillating MF. Slick. Long-lasting flavour. Day and night when compared to the first Maenhout version. This one is great.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus and Ansjelaah. Opaque dark reddish color, full sized light brown head. Smell and taste malts, lightly dried fruits, overripe fruits, slightly alcohol. Medium body and carbonation.

Bottle @benzai. Brown colour, large beige head. Smells sweet, malts, coffee. Tastes sweet, slightly roasty, malts. Medium to full body, soft carbo. Fuck penaltie shootouts.

Fourth glass on a 0.2 glass flight in La Trappist, Brugge on 30th Jan 2014. Pours a dark brown colour with a good foaming beige head. This is a fairly sweet brew, the nose gives it away and the taste confirms the fact. Mild chocolate notes blend in with caramel and dark fruit esters within the aroma while a liquorice feel arrives with those aforementioned smells in the taste. Complex and interesting, a very pleasant strong semi-sweet brown beer (my sweet tooth wins again).

Bottle at Brugge beer festival 2014, Belgium. A dark brown coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Sweet, malty, caramel aroma. Tastes similar, slightly sweet, malty, caramel, some chocolate too. Nice Belgian Quad.

750 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with light head. Aromas of heavily roasted malts, dried dark fruit, and nuts. Flavors are same. In a good way. Quite dry (not sweet) and somewhat hot.

75 cl. bottle sampled @ GBF 2013. Pour blackish, dark brown. Nose is heavy on sweet black liquorish, chocolate, caramel, thick malts, hint of soy sauce. Taste is thick sweet black liquorish, chocolate grains, sweet malts, caramel, milk chocolate and lots of dried dark fruits. Chocolate milk body, interesting to say the least; I would probably like it more if I enjoyed black liquorish more. Thx! to the RB Crew for sharing. + 19.02.2017 "d’Oude Maalderij / h.ertie zure Qantelaar" Uli blend of Girardin lambiek & Qantelaar. 12 bottles made. Thanks to Kraddel. Blend of Qantelaar and Girardin lambiek. 750 ml. bottle sampled. Dark brown, almost black hue, zero head. Nose is very lovely like a vinous dark fruit & figs jam, mellow sour berries, figs & wine, low funk. Taste is mellow vinous figs, dark fruits, roasted malts, more vinous than lambiek-like even though it has some lambiek funk, puckering in the end. Unfortunately it has zero carbonation. With carbonation this would have been glorious, still very nice, it is too flat & watery. (4.2)
