Bottle from Stacks.
A: clear amber, stable, foamy, tan head.
A: rusk, rye, red apple, raisin, brown bread.
T: sweetish fig & red apple, bitter rusk, bit sourish.
F: herbal & grassy hops, bitter grapefruit, medicinal.
P: medium body, slick texture average carbonation.
There's a noticeable barrel treatment, but it's more medicinal than actually peated. Too bad!

Bottle at home. Clear yellow golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are moderately malty, a bit hayish, slightly herbal / spicy, decently bitter. Quite alright imo.

1/II/25 - 33cl bottle @ Nieuwjaarsreceptie Gentse Biervereniging (Ledeberg), BB: n/a (2025-57) Thanks for sharing the bottle!
Cloudy beige blond beer, no head. Aroma: very funky, dirty, infected, chemical, paint thinner, not good. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very chemical, unpleasant, rubbery, dirty, weird, don’t like it at all. Aftertaste: sourish, weird, dirty, chemical, infected and oxidized. This experiment clearly went horribly wrong and should never have been released.

Bottle picked up from Dranken Vandewoude, Veurne and consumed at home Sunday 12th January 2025 listening to the Tom Robinson on 6Music. Ok after getting over the rather tacky bottle image and name let us move on. The pour is murky brown with a light tan head a little boozy on the nose, some stewed and dried fruits fruit and a hint of vanilla, isn't this barrel aged, because I am getting some whisky, yes just checked it is, hope that this is the correct rating? . It's ok, a little sweet, some toffee dried fruits again, boozy, mid table mediocrity.

A flurry of beers from bierhandelwillems earlier this year, I'm sampling this one tonight. 33 cl bottle that tells me the abv is 9,5%. Cap is lifted and I tilt into a Straffe Hendrik large tulip glass. I see a La Trappe caramel colored body topped with a prudent skim of silvery tan foam. There's brisk carbonation too. Ooh, nice smell. Boozy right off followed by yeast esters, grain, plums and a bit of earth. The drink is fine too. Figs, chewy leather, malt, wheat bread, whisky and dates. Nice sensation, I call it full. Throwback quadrupel with scotch whisky, all right by me.

Nice to get a 33 cl bottle from a helpful Belgian seller in mid-summer. Cool weather recently, the right time to sample a quadrupel. I feel like the Teku glass is right for this time, I open the bottle and pour. A cloudy caramel brown liquid finished by a hefty head of khaki tan foam and some lacing potential. The nose is attractive with yeast, ripe dark fruit, cereal and hard candy. The drink is better than the scent. Figs, scorched grain, a bit of toffee sweetness, raisins and malt. A solid traditional quad, I like it considerably.
