Heres one that Northern Brewer was offering as a early 09 limited edition. Found a recipe on their forum.
Quebecois Quadruple Wheat Wine
OG 1.092
FG 1.012
BU 22
SRM 8
ABV 10.5%
Ready: 8 weeks
The Québécois are proud, bold and fiercely loyal people that can't be understood after a few pints, and they sure can make damn good beer. This quadruple wheat wine is very much along the lines of a strong Belgian golden ale but with a wheat focus. The wheat adds a bready character and keeps the beer from being too dry and the addition of Grains of Paradise adds a spicy, peppery finish. This dangerously potent (approx. 9% abv) libation is a peace offering to our friends to the North: in all seriousness, sorry for stealing Shatner...

Notes
- Queb-quad for short
- This beer is a mix between a mythical quadrupple and a wheat-based Belgian-type barleywine. Its something along the lines of Unibroue's Don de Dieu but has a little more character.
- This is a much paler version of all the 'quadrupples' that Ive had. They are all to heavy to me and not very drinkable. The wheat really gives this a much smoother finish. Lets be frank though. There really is no 'Quadruple' style but I don't care. It's a sweet name and an even cooler beer.
- A good portion of sugar really lightens up the body keeping it from being to thick.
- One can regulate the finish of this beer by the amount of yeast they pitch. Meaning more yeast = dryer, more digestible; less yeast = richer, sweeter, fuller finish. Another note is that if you let this yeast get to warm you will get a lot of banana out of it. Keep it cool (<65F) for a lot of spicy fruit.
- A heafty portion of grains of paradise adds a really nice spicy kick to this. A little note, if you leave them in to long you'll loose the aroma and gain more 'spicy' flavor. I use an extra piece of grain bag and drop them in at 10min and then pull them out at knockout.
