Flight 2/4 is dressed in medium-cloudy, dark auburn. A white, silky lace ring wafts in the sides. Faint strawberry mash in the air. Can it be? Yes, it is, I verify it with my tastebuds. Strawberry mash, waffle, wheat biscuit and raisin. And alcohol but not to the extent of disturbance. The body is not entirely full but medium-full at least. The tail is less arrogant than the actual taste which is not particularly arrogant either. Feels naturally jam-like, marginally tart (not sure if it's supposed to...), medium-strong, slightly alcoholic and a tad warming. Not a masterpiece in the category of Quadrupel that seldom sends rubbish. P.S. I didn't realize that I had had this beer before. Well, the rating declines dramatically.

Turbid, dirty dark brown beer with bold, regular-duration carbonation builds a soapy, beige head that initially exceeds one finger but descends rapidly to a lovely, thick layer on the surface. The retreating foam doesn't paint the glass at all. The nostrils experience quite a multifaceted olfactory package: massive raisin, a good amount of date, sweet biscuit, a tad dough and a huge nutty note. The taste is powerful and serves loads of oversweet brown malt, sweet biscuit and a generous injection of cane sugar. On the fruity side, I pick a penetrative combination of date, raisin and sugared nut. The sugar is brown. The boozy punch is rather aggressive. The body is medium-full to full. Again, the oversweet mouthcoating gustatory impression mesmerizes the assessment of the body more robust than what it actually is. The beer ends with awkwardly sweet brown malt, biscuit dough, dried date and fresh raisin. Alcohol doesn't disappear anywhere from the tongue. The aftertaste keeps the tastebuds on the hook over a reasonable period. The mouthfeel is quite sappy, somewhat boozy, even a tad chemical and tangy. It's also relatively full, quite challenging and aggressive.
