This 33 cl bottle was picked up from Smaakhuis just less than a year ago. There have been two previous beers in the series, Roaring Forties and Fabulous Fifties. I sampled both of those in early 2023 and liked them considerably. Now is the time to taste the last of the group that I am familiar with. I placed a Trappistes Rochefort glass in front of me and took the pour. The body is a rich, dark mahogany with amber highlights at the edges. There is no discernible head but I do see a steady stream of very fine bubbles arising from the center of the glass. I could smell the beer from a distance and it is good. Chocolate, some vinous quality, yeast and grain. Finally I lift the glass for a drink. Damn, it is fine, likely the best of the three. Chocolate malt, alfalfa, ripe berries, dark bread, a hard candy sweetness, wood and purple plums. Curiously I get a bit of burn as the brew goes down, a surprise to me for a quad. A chewy beer, quite dense. Nogne O continues their tradition of truly fine quadrupels, I hope there is another in this series.

Sweet, syrupy and stuffy with some berries, hints of oxidized notes, earthiness and caramely toffee. Past its prime

Bottle. Ginger driven, quite fruity. Citrus too. Super-refreshing, with a nice ginger burn. Sure, I like it, but not as a beer. Or as a cider. 646413 251207

Bottle at home. Opaque dark brown to black color, small beige head. Aroma and flavor are malts, soft barrel notes, some spices perhaps. Warming. There's more there but I can't get my finger on it. Solid pleasant beer.
