Mar 6, 2009 Draught at Oliver Twist. Fluffy off white foam tha goes away fast. The aroma remindes me of caramellized orange peel. The caramell is also dominating the taste, but there is also almond paste. The body is big but the bitterness is low almost not present.

Mar 4, 2009 VERY sweet. Taste makes your taste buds tingle from the first drink. Not bad but is a little strong.

Mar 3, 2009 Location:Bottle, purchased at Gilly’s
Aroma: Fruity, spiciness, raisin
Appearance: Orange, cloudy, full head
Flavor: Really nice complexity comes through as you drink it.
Palate: Full body, little creamy
Overall Impression:
Enjoyable beer with some interesting complexity. Quads are definately one of my favorite styles of beer. This one has some fruity flavors, strong hint of raisins, hides the alcohol really well, you can hardly taste the 10%. Overall pretty enjoyable.

Feb 21, 2009 It’s a gorgeous beer. caramel color and a lacy white head. Loving the candy sugar in this - it gives it a sweet, creamy taste and with the traditional fruit spice you’ll find in a quad. It’s 10% of tasty goodness, but can get a bit syrupy as you let it warm.

Feb 18, 2009 cloudy orange, topped with minimal froth
aroma is mostly old pears and yeast, floral hops
flavor is also apple and pear, a bit odd for a belgian, but with some of that underlying raisinyness and whatnot. also strong alcohol
a bit thin, lingering finish but somewhat watery

Feb 9, 2009 I had this in the bottle at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor MI. I basically chose this on a whim, since everything I’ve had from avery recently has been amazing. This poured a very pretty dark amber with a delicate white head. This wasn’t a "wow" beer, but it was definitely a strong effort from a great brewery. It had some sweetness and a hint of raisins on the finish. A great beer with a great story behind it. Cheers!

Feb 9, 2009 a- pours a clear, dark amber hue with one finger of very creamy white head that is mostly diminishing, fair lacing, and tiny particulates
s- nose is of sweet, sugary malts as well as a variety of fruit tones (dark fruits and apples), nice Belgian aroma with light alcohol presence
t- Taste is well-balanced with caramel malts and sweet sugar, long full aftertaste is mostly bitter hops and a decent kick of alcohol
m- Full-bodied with adequate carbonation and rich mouthfeel
d- this is a nice, big quadrupel from Avery, very solid in all categories but not quite reaching the upper tier
