Thanks to Hoptimaal for providing this beer. In my hand is a 33 cl bottle that will be going into my Chimay glass right now. The view is a mahogany brown liquid with a momentary head of dark tan foam that settles to a tawny light tan rim around the glass. The scent is initially vinous followed by dark fruit by some yeastiness. But the taste, well, it is a leap above the nose. Chocolate, figs, black plums, some oakiness, black bread, a touch of wine sourness, malt and perhaps molasses. Very rich, very dense. It seems boozy to me, a positive. I like this quadrupel considerably, worth the effort to possess and drink.

330 ml bottle, batch #10221, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 14.5%, IBU 30. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Moderate beige head. Aroma of roast malts, red wine and oak. Medium sweet flavour with the same elements, also mild spices, hints of dark chocolate and liquorice. Very tasty.

Svart med brunt skum. Lukter kaffe, mørk sjokolade og noe trevirke. Fyldig. Lett bitter mørk sjokolade, mørke bær, svisker og god varm alkohol i avslutningen.

Svart med brunt skum. Lukter svisker, trevirke, røstet malt. Litt sherryfeeling. Alkoholvarme. Mørke stenfrukter. Kjenner smaken sitter leeenge. Herlig😀

Bottle. It's surprisingly close to black in the glass, well, at least it's really dark brown. A small firm dark beige head sits on top, leaving some lacing. The aroma is quite roasted for a Quad, with alcohol, wood, some coffee and dark chocolate, dark dried fruits, hints of vanilla and a toasted hint. Some licorice as it warms. It's full-bodied, warming and very smoothly carbonated, sweet and then even more warming, with some tannins. The flavor has roasted malts, dark dried fruit, some coffee and toasted wood, a hint of molasses, nuts and vanilla, and some oak. A decent bitterness too, along with the alcohol preventing the beer from feeling cloying. Lasting finish with all the yumminess from the initial flavor. A fantastic beer indeed, sure pushing the boundaries for a Quad, and in my opinion a bit on the boozy side. 10-11 % ABV would've been sufficient. Even this 33cl bottle should be shared with at least one friend. But hell, it's a delicious beer indeed. 200610
