Appearance: Pouring the beer, It pours a murky, muddy brown. A bit of an orange hue to it, looks incredibly thick and épaise! Minimal head, about a millimetre of head touching the side of the glassware et c'est tout!
Aroma: The scents that are popping out for me are aromaes of dark fruit like sun-dried raisins and prunes, some brown sugar, a hint of vanilla and a light amount of yeastiness popping up.
Taste: Sipping on this beer, I'm quickly feeling a bit of the warmth from the alcohol as it is a whopping 10.5% ABV! It has a yeasty backing, a powerful alcoholness in the flavour backed by flavours of caramel, raisins, a big packing of molasses giving it such a thick rich and dark sweetness to it. A bit of a sharp and bitter taste in there somehow. Not too overpowering, but very flavourful itself.
Overall Thoughts: A very decent quad abbaye, 10.5% ABV, worth trying out. Notes and flavours of raisins, alcohol, some molasses and dark fruits, really worth trying. A bit murky for some - but for me, I'd drink this again, and I probably will in a few weeks! Brewed February 2013
