Doughy and hoppy aroma with a very nice appearance. Sweet with an nice finish. Palate could have been fuller but overall I enjoyed this beer.

Bottle 2008. Pours a dark cloudy brown with a very small head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, melon rind, light sweetness. Flavor of lots of melon rind and light apple and pear fruits. Not as sweet and sugary as I remember. This is more like a Belgian Strong Ale. Good, drinkable, tasty beer.

Pours a cola colored amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is very malty with a little bit of dark fruit and apple. Flavor is more of the same except super sweet. Kind of cloying and syrupy with some strange bread and bad fruit hints. It was ok, but not great.

750 from Knightly Spirits poured an amber-red color with a creamy off-white head. The aroma is very sweet with red apple, candy sugar, toffee, and caramel. The flavor is somewhat yeasty with red apple flavor and a lingering sweet and sourness. It’s good, but it lacks some of the syrupy sweetness I expect from a quad.

Probably the smoothest beer I’ve tried for 10% or greater, along with Smuttynose Imperial Stout. Smooth, like a good scotch, and well rounded.

Pours a dark amber with a big off white head. Aroma is sweet with raisins, fig, a little fruit and spice. very smooth and the alcohol become present after it warms in the glass. Excellent stuff.
