Claudia: Mmm -- so good! Maltiness, slight bitterness, some licorice flavor. I'm getting subtle hints of fruit: blackberries boiling in cinnamon. This beer tastes complex yet is still light enough to be drunk without any serious repercussions. I'm also getting some faint butterscotch. I think it'd go really excellently with a sour cherry pie. I really like this beer, but maybe that's because I haven't had good beer in a really long time. Also, maybe I'm giving it really high marks because I've been stressed out and this is helping out a lot. 8.5/10
Jay: Hm. I think I'm a little rusty at reviewing, it's been so long. This beer has a classic quadruple taste: figs, wine, nuttiness, astringency. I left it out long enough to warm up to about 55ยบ. At this temperature, it's incredibly smooth and balanced. This is good and it's nice to be drinking a complex beer like this after such a long break, but I'm not sure it's as good as the heavy-hitting quadruples like the St. Bernardus. 8/10
