chrislehr (2), Texas, USA does not count Mar 28, 2009 I want to like this beer. Its color and aroma are great, but the flavor and palate are a complete let down. The finish (unless I got a bunk bottle) was almost sour in my mouth. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Mar 23, 2009 Sampled yesterday with BrotherBrando: Poured a dark but cloudy copper colour with a huge white head. Aroma had noticeable alcohol and fruity esters, wheat and caramel notes on the nose. Taste was pleasent, very rich, and creamy with brown sugar and plum notes. A little spice in the finish as well. angrypirate06 (678), Texas, USA Mar 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a red ruby color with a small, quickly disappearing head. Smells like sweet bread, with plums and yeast. Tastes of raisins, caaramel, burnt malts with a nice alcoholic bite. creamy and gently fizzy mouthfeel. ditmier (1021), Boise, Idaho, USA Mar 22, 2009 2008 Bottle - Thanks SpringsLicker! - Pours a hazy copper with a small off white head...aroma is light belgian with some pit fruit and black tea...flavour is sticky sweet fruit that takes a backseat to the booze and malt syrup...I also get massive tea-like qualities, light tannins and spice...no telling what this would be like with a few years in the bottle... savnac (394), Palmer, Alaska, USA Mar 20, 2009 22oz bottle. Smells of brown bananas, cloves, and other spices. Reddish brown, hazy, with an off white long lasting head. Medium sweetness, medium sourness, and a very light vinegar taste. Medium body, slightly oily feel, average carbonation. This is a great beer overall, it balances out the malt, yeast, and alcohol very well. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Mar 17, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy brown with a small off white head. Very fruity aroma, a lot of malts, berries, and a touch of caramel. Big sugar and sweetness to this beer. Very malty with some cinnamon and dark fruits. Maybe a little too fruity and too light bodied. i’d like to see some more body, this feels more like a dubbel than a quad to me. Still decent though nathan30533 (138), Dahlonega, Georgia, USA Mar 17, 2009 Very sweet smell and taste. Smooth, good color and great overall. Wonderful introductory Quad. Rustyham (545), miami, Florida, USA Mar 16, 2009 Starting off rather lame, this guy soon develops quite a bit of character. Rather light in color for a quadruple, it has a very thick mouth feel that seems to rely on apricots and peaches more so than raisins and plums like other quadruples. It warms your through very well, it even has some noticeable hop characteristics.
