A 33 cl bottle obtained on a family holiday through Europe. Using the favorite Trappistes Rochefort glass tonight, I pull the cap and pour. Dark caramel brown with little noticeable head. The scent is ripe fruit, candy and alcohol. I take a drink, toffee immediately, plums, raisins, malt, a touch of dough, oaky to a small degree and a boozy background and finish. The feel is surprisingly full for so little carbonation. Interesting beer, likeable, not great.

8 July 2020. Random Wednesday Tasting; cheers to Anke & Tim! Hazy dark brown, quickly thinning, frothy, tan head. Aroma of pear syrup, date paste, wet oak, rum-soaked raisin, red (some green) apple, calvados, plum, dark toffee. Taste has sweet toffee, date & raisin, ripe plum & pear giving off a phenolic whiff, some bitter clove with a yeasty-estery red apple accent. Malty finish, soft peppery hops, lots of dried fruits, wet wood in the end & heating brandy & calvados alcohol. Medium body, oily-syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Typical as a Belgian Quad, not very refined as a 'BA' but I can appreciate this kind of beer.
