Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - deep amber with shades of red. Tan head. Nose - toffee and light prunes. Taste - prunes and stewed apple. Toffee. Palate - creamy and medium to full bodied. Sweetish finish with a tangy thing that somewhat clears things. Overall - good, if a little light for a quadrupel.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 13/12/20 ... 2nd half just kicked off Citeh 3-0 B&HA. Light murky tones to an extremely dark mahogany brown pour with a well presented tan head ... you'd be tricked into thinking this is a stout ... off black almost. Nose is dried fruits, toffee, light spice, nutty, dates, light phenols, clove, yeast esters, nip of alcohol. Taste comprises figs, burnt caramel, brown sugars, fruit cake mix, light spice, trace of nana esters, dark malts. Medium bodied with bite, fine massaging carbonation - stellar mouthfeel, light warming booze at the curtain call. A top top draw Quad ... great balance, never to sweet, boosty but balanced with some dark malt qualities and bitterness.

Can from Park Fever, Hither Green. Brown pour with a beige head. Nose is burnt toffee, milk chocolate, cola, raisin, banana pudding. Ooh that's good. Taste is banana toffee, raisin, cinnamon, sweet tobacco. Sweet, warming finish. Reminds me of a Rochefort 8. Excellent stuff.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from All Good Beer. Pours clear amber-brown with a big, billowing frothy beige head. Medium sweet flavour, rich stewed berries, grapes, toffee, Belgian yeast, candy sugar, creme caramel. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming finish, a little sticky sweet, more ripe and jammy berries, more toffee, rich bready malts. Solid.
