Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple
Brouwerij Van Steenberge N.V.

 

super malty. a bit bitter. really good but pretty strong. could only drink a little at a time.

pours a cloudy orange gold body with a tanned frothy foam head that has a very high retention and leaves thick swaths of foam lacing behind as it craawwwwlllls down to a rocky full cap

aroma is sweet bready malt with light Belgian spice medley on the wings. could honestly live in that glass and be one-hundo. sourdough and a little bananas foster and honey with light clove, dash of white pepper (ish), pear juice, and a suggestion towards dark fruit

taste follows that nose with a rich feeling dose of contact completion. the aroma was a prayer, the taste delivered.

feel is medium-high carbonation and medium bodied that feels smooth, full, pillowy, rich and yet delicate. it covers a lot of pleasure zones, being noticeable yet superbly easy. the finish kind of nods off but leaves the Belgian spice lingering with a bit of that ol' bubblegum in the aftertaste

overall:
beautiful. can't recommend enough. while it isn't my favorite quad, it's in the top 5 I've had thus far. would make a great first experience with the style thanks to its supreme easy-going-ness

 

Pours golden brown with nice off white head. Head & light carbonation continue throughout.
Caramel & raisin aromas.
Well rounded taste of candy & raisins with long aftertaste on the tongue.
An excellent quad

Pours deep, dark amber with a huge off-white head, excellent retention and lace
Aromas of honey, brown bread, dried pears, and a hint of clove
Honey, dried pears and apples, a bit of sour plum, brown bread, some banana and clove on the palate
Medium bodied and well carbonated
Could stand to have a bit more of a dark fruit or roast character, but otherwise, an excellent quad

 

 

Too sweet, not goof

 

 

Shared 330 ml bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgård. ABV is 10.5%. Deep golden to amber colour, moderate off-white head. Classic Belgian dubbel & quadruple aroma, notes of brown kandij sugar, dark dried fruits and mild spices. Same elements in the flavour, easy drinking for a quadruple.

Bottle. Clear chestnut. Gently rising effervescence creating a thick frothy head.
A caramel sweetness emanates from the surface. Yeast and dark fruit present.
Toffee apple flavour with dried black grapes. Light bitter finish. Light banana and clove present.
Medium in body with soft carbonation.
No sign of alcohol. Pretty decent.

 

Pours a slightly hazy mahogany color with a tall fluffy head and a lot of lacing.

Smells of yeast and toasted malt.

Tastes of sweet toasted malt, caramel and raisins with alcohol warmth for a finish.

Medium light body with light carbonation. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel.

This very strong sipper is smooth, light and very enjoyable.

2/11/22 From bottle purchased at Everyday's a Party in Morgantown WV.

Look is a deep Amber with lots of beige colored head.

Smell is sweet, malty and carmely.

Taste is pretty much on the smell. A very deep sweet fruity all over. Get something in the back of the tongue.

A thick drink, but that is to be expected.

Overall, very nice for a quadruple.

They can't make them much better

Poured from an 11.2 ounce bottle into a tulip glass, there is no date on the bottle or cap that I could find. Cost was $6.49.

APPEARANCE: pours a hazy, brown color with less than one-finger, tan head that slowly dissipated until a thin, broken layer of small bubbles remained, there is some lacing on the glass, lower carbonation.

SMELL: bread and sweet caramel, raisins and tea.

TASTE: the taste follows the nose, initially sweet caramel and bread then raisins and tea.

PALATE: this is not highly carbonated and the mouthfeel is somewhat creamy, medium body.

OVERALL: this quad is not as sweet as some others I have tried but it works, I enjoyed this beer and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the style, I would point out there are better beers in this style for less money so I would not seek this one out again.

Paler than most Quads but extremely well done.
Very different in a good way.
Reminds me of sherry it Moscatel wine in the nose.
The flavor is unique and hard to describe.
I love it.

 

 

 

 

A quadruple ale that is malty and sweet; not bitter. A bit heavier than the Tripel, but not too heavy as a turn off. Has a very flavorful taste but not enough to throw the taste buds. It is full of flavor, very malty, and is a great heavy ale.

 

 

Look: amber, big fluffy off-white head

Smell: malt, carmelized sugar, rasins

Taste: follows the smell, with a delicate balance of sweetness. A well rounded flavor

Feel: smooth, nice small bubbles on the tongue

Bottle. Mostly clear reddish amber with dense fluffy head and lace. Earthy caramel sweet fruity aroma with hints of tobacco. Sweet and fruity raisin and plum with boozy strong herbal finish. Medium-full body lively carbo. Very good.

 

Served in a tulip on a chillier September night in Canada.
Pours a darker rust coloured amber, and the liquid swirls with a slight syrupy texture, just the way I like it.
Head is light and bready, settles down within 5min to a thin covering and strong lacing along the sides.
Rich, slightly bitter, and sweet, all rolled into one. Mine is chilled from the fridge, and flavour continues to get complex as it warms up. Punchy carbonation on the mouthfeel, feels ok.
Overall, liked it a lot, a little less sweet than other quads I have had, but will be buying again. I paid 5.09 Canadian for a bottle in a private liquor store.

11.2oz bottle coded 02BU poured into a tulip glass at just above fridge temp 10.7% ABV. The beer pours bright medium amber in color with abundant khaki head. The head recedes to a thin ring and single layer of bubbles leaving a complete lacing. The aroma is mild with bread, malt and clove. The taste is semisweet toasty, bready caramel with with somewhat earthy and clovey notes. Mild bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with high carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Minimal alcohol presence in the taste. Overall, good.

A very nice Quad. Warm, sip, and savor.
