We were on a date and my wife got a beer she loved. We can’t remember what it was called. I had thought that it was a quad and that the bottle looked like this, with some foreign brand name, but it was super dark. This one is like orange. I liked it but it wasn’t what I was trying to get for her.

Probably Gulden Draak.

The regular Gulden Draak is a deep mahogany color. https://www.vansteenberge.com/en/our-beer/gulden-draak/gulden-draak/

The Gulden Draak 9000 you linked to is a different beer that is lighter in color (and not as tasty).

If it's not that, I'm going to need more hints to help guide you to what it was.

In reply to Beer Baron :

You may have it there. Is there a second choice that I can buy at the same time in case I get it wrong? Thanks for the heads up. I’ve tried to get it again in the past and that might have been exactly what happened. 

 

Thanks!!

I mean... there are any number of good quads or strong darks out there. I suspect this is the one you're most likely looking for.

Other possibilities in that style would be: St. Bernardus Abt.12, Chimay Blue, Delirium Nocturnum, Rochefort 10.

Gulden Draak has a pretty distinctive bottle though.

Swings and misses all around!

 

She liked the stout I got her , but all of the quads left her saying that they were too light. Thoughts?

Have you tried contacting/revisiting the establishment that had the elusive elixir?

No, it was off a rather extensive beer menu from like a year ago.
