Can, huge thanks A.V.! Valhalla tasting. Huge aroma, caramel, orange, fusels, alcohol, bit spicy, dusty, still pleasant even if it's a bit flawed. Creamy, pleasantly caramelly taste, orange, spices, rum raisins, bitterish finish. Yeah, this kinda works!

Bottle, thx Adam V! Muddy darky golden, traces of a head at best. Creamy woody oaky aroma, bit vegetal, bit of oxidized maltiness. Lean dry creamy oaky taste, bit of berry, bit vegetal, nicely smoothy, odd profile for brett presence. Not bad, not fantastic.

Hazy amber, medium head. Kinda murky-looking. Yeasty, not all that bitter, malts are whatever. Lacks a sense of purpose - it’s not czech or anything else.

473mL can, pours a deep dark mahogany brown with a small beige head. Aroma has a slight metallic tinge, with lots of dark dried fruits, dry toffee, bready notes, and Belgian yeast. Flavour is fairly complex, with a dry, woody, bready caramel, and a touch of spiciness. Not exactly authentically quad-like, but it’s a nice dark Belgian-influenced strong. Pleasant.
