500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 10.0%. Cloudy dark brown colour, moderate but lasting off-white head. Moderate aroma of sultanas, oaked fortified wine, rum-raisin and liqueur-filled chocolates. The flavour is oaky / woody with notes of sultanas / raisins and other dark dried fruits, but not nearly as sweet as I feared. The hops are very moderate. Nice and drinkable, but has not quite the complexity of best Belgian ales in the abt / quadrupel style. Still well worth sampling.

Voluminöser, weich süßlicher Malzantrunk. Steigende, hefig angehauchte Würzigkeit. Die Süße steigt, bleibt aber auf angenehmem Level. Minimale Oxidation. Gut! 11/12/12/12/13/12

Bomber shared at a tasting. Almost two years old and this hold up quite well. Classic Quad flavors. Really easy drinking and well done for the style. Solid offering.

Bottled. Nice raisin nose, caramel and chocolate. Very tart, fruity flavor, caramel, citrus edge, alcohol. Quite nice but doesn’t seem like a real quad.

19.03.2014, 0,5l bottle sampled @ BBGTC tasting:
Small shortlasting head. Aroma is sweet fruity, caramel malts, dried fruits, raisins, honey, butterscotch, citrus, dark sugar, almond cake. Taste is kind of medical harsh, caramel malts, harsh grass, dried fruits, paper, butterscotch, raisins, citrus peel, almond essence. Medium to longlasting bitterness, harsh mouthfeel. Fair enough.

Eodt øl som bare blir bedre og bedre for hver munnfull. En god smak og lukt opplevelse. Bør prøves.

Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff feb-12: Mørk oransje med lysebrunt skum. Eksotisk aroma og smak fra en eksotisk del av verden. Stor smaksrikdom og varmende virkning. Synd at min rikdom ikke tilsier en tur til NZ!
