75 cL bottle. Pours clear yet deep hazzlenut brown with a lacing tan head. Aroma is mild spiced of cinnamon and a bit of cardemomme, mixed with caramel-toffee and mild yeasty notes.Sweet and slight oldish flavour, yeasty and caramelish too. Slight sweet and fruity finish with a distinct herbal honey like accent, going gradually more dry. Surely a quad, yet somewhat more on the herbal and less sweet side.

Pour is a dark red with a average tan head. Aroma is nice with some dark fruit and candi sugar with some alcohol. Flavor is caramel with some more dark fruit and a heavy breadyness. Alcohol is no problem and does not get in the way. A pretty decent beer and there is nothing really wrong with it but there still are even better quads out there.

Pours clear amber into a Trappist glass. Off-white head with excellent retention sheets as it slowly recedes. Fig and prune aromas. Sweet dried apricot and pit fruit upfront with a dry, lasting caramel finish. Becomes cloying.

75cl bottle: Dark muddy brown with creamy bubbly white head that drags good lacings. Earthy, buiscuit, caramel, dried fruits (raisin/plum), alcohol & sugar. Smooth & full bodied. Long end.... Great!

Bottle at Københavnske Øldage 2007
Beautiful red-dark amber color; creamy head. As usual, solid brew from de Proef; very good malt and sweet caramel, light fruitness, candi sugar.

Bottle (75cl corked) at Københavnske Øldage. Clear, copper beer with a beige head. The person serving it expected it to volcano out of the bottle, but it didn’t. Oxidized, woody nose with prunes, raisins, sugar and some alcohol. A bit dry, with hops, spices, dried fruits and alcohol in the flavor. Warming mouthfeel. Long, slightly oxidized finish with alcohol and dried fruits. A nice beer, but a bit oxidized. Didn’t check the date of the bottle. (070512)

Very dark brown with some reddish highlights; yellowish-brown head, not very persistent. Very nice nose with chocolate, dark malts, and (very) light lactic acid. Lots of chocolate malt, very little sourness, all the bigger on alcohol and higher alcohols. Finishes a bit woody, dry - chocolate (malt). Very well-bodied, alcohol-warming. Very well balanced, actually, just a bit heavy on the chocolate malt. Very big thanks to JezzaP for this gem, unknown in its homecountry.
