Very dark brown pour with a small beige head. Very dry, malt forward nose. Some light metal and soft dark fruit. Hints of molasses and dark brown sugar. Lively carb, and a solid mouth feel. Finish is lightly bitter with alot of bready, sweet malts. Alcohol is well hidden and some age should curb the sharp cereals in the aroma.

A reddish copper ale with a thin lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light candy sugar, light peated notes, dark fruits, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity caramel malt with candy sugar, light curacao and peated character, dark fruits, plums, alcohol warmth, OK. Can from LCBO.

Can: Poured a clear brown color ale with a nice large light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of banana bread with some caramelized malt and residual sugar is quite nice. Taste is a nice mix of caramelized malt notes with residual sugar with loads of banana bread ester. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Really enjoyable beer though I thought the banana bread ester resemble a doppelbock more than a quad.

Pours a hazy caramel-ruby colour with a beige fizzy head that disappears rather quickly leaving minimal lacing. Again, seems infected with some sourness in the nose. Because this is a Quad, does not show as much as their lower ABV brews. Other than that, some toffee and fruity yeast. Flavours of plums, figs, yeast, hints of bananas and caramel malts. Not bad, but wish this sour/infection would not be there. Not really Belgian as a Quadrupel.
