To begin with, a statement: this is no abt/quadrupel: this is a stout. An imperial stout, okay, but a stout nonetheless. Stir caused, yet? Let's start the tasting, then: it pours shiny jet black with a tan head that lasts but an instant. Aroma is chickory, coffee, aceto di Modena, soy sauce, blackberry, licorice (sounds like stout or what?) Taste is velvety, soft, low carb. Long-lingering bitterish (bitterish!) finish with evident hints of espresso. Guys, this is a stout.

Hazy brown. Aroma is cinnamon, dates, figs, dried fruit peel, not so sweet. Taste is harsh sweet malt. Umami. Also cloying. Ok.

0.33 bottle. Spicy sweet aroma, this smells dangerous and stone-fruity. Plummy, dates, sweet and very tasty. Not sweet considering 10.2%... really recommendable.

Gushing bottle. Cloudy haze, low head. Sweet hazelnut, boozy aroma. Medium body, dry mellow. Sugar, Christmas pudding, light smoke, roast, burned sugar, cheapush booze. Dessert.

Bottle, gusher. Rather clear dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is apples, raisins, chocolate, some berries, dried fruit kompot. Taste is apples, raisins, chocolate, dates. Silky mouthfeel with foamy carbonation. Quite good.

Bouteille: Very deep amber coloured with a ruby sheen, presumably hazy, medium-sized creamy - slowly collapsing - off-white head, moderate bitter-sweet nose of toasted malt with traces of molasses, dried fruits, caramel and shy herbal hops underneath; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, nearly full bodied, quite soft; lingering bitter-sweet finish with chocolatey spots, herbal hops and warming all in the aftertaste. Not bad at all, but lacks the complexity of a real good belgian quadruple. Or, again, quite poor compared to a Rochefort 10...
