Dec 1, 2009 Bottle shared by Andy in St. Louis, purchased at Wine and Cheese Place. Pours a cloudy brown/plum color with a small white head. Big raisin aroma, with notes of brown sugar, Belgian yeast, sherry, wood, and a touch of hops. Flavor is also led by raisins, with brown sugar, yeast, wood, sherry, sweet malts, caramel, and warming alcohol. Medium-full bodied, good level of carbonation, and smooth. Really nice beer.

Nov 26, 2009 750ml bottle, pours a mostly clear dark amber with a good sized off-white head that leaves nice sheets of lace. Aroma is nice lightly spiced yeast, candied and overripe dark fruits, and a little caramel. Flavor is a nice blend of the spicy yeast and dark fruits. There’s just enough of both to balance this out very well without turning overly sweet or spicy. Good stuff and easy drinking, but not as much complexity as some of the top Quads.

Nov 7, 2009 750 mL bottle at St. Veronus. Dark ruby brown with a two-finger beige head. Aroma is quite spicy, with some caramel, prunes, and candi-sugar. The flavour was deliciously spicy as well, with all the aromas continuing into the flavour and balancing nicely. Some bitterness at the end seemed to be hop rather than alcohol based. The alcohol is actually very well hidden. Excellent beer.

9.5% ABV
I tried this beer on September 24, 2009 at "The beerbistro" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured out a murky brown colour with reddish hues and a thin white head. The aroma was malt, yeast, and plenty of dark fruit tones like plums. The mouthful was fulkl-bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was plums and licorice with a hint of hoppy bitterness. An excellent beer.
