La Trappe Quadrupel (Koningshoeven / Dominus)
This beer pours a nice rich tea color with finger of head that falls very quickly. The nose is not as full and rich as I want it to be. There's just a hint of the deep fig smell I want, but there are some more sweet notes that I don't expect. The flavor is more rich and full than the nose hints at, but it is still not as powerful as I want it to be. The raisin and fig notes just don't dominate as I would like them to be. The mouthfeel is not quite as thick as I would like; its lacking the syrupy character I would like. Drinkability is okay. This beer is just not anything special all the way around.
