La Trappe Quadrupel (Koningshoeven / Dominus)
Pours fairly a fairly clear, amber color. Suprisingly light! A thin off white head forms on top. Poor retention, but some nice lacing. Aroma is pretty nice. Some nice fruity esters, banana and cherry dominate. A pale bready malt is also present. Really quite nice. Taste is fine. Some nice fruity notes, with banana dominating. A little boozy, but really tasty still. The fruit and booze gives way to a bit of pale malt on the finish. Not overly complex, but well made. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with tons of carbonation giving a nice tingle. Drinkability is moderate to high. Flavors are great, and although the alcohol is high it fits in well with this brew. It is certainly a really nice quad.
