Jul 22, 2008 This is a wickedly awesome beer, that had a euphoric effect on me that has captivated me every since the last swallow. For a strong beer the flavor was anything but overwhelming, washing down clean with little in the way of a alcoholic aftertaste. The real beauty of this beer is the feeling in the belly, which I can only compare to cognac. This is best suited for an afterdinner drink, that is sipped instead of gulped. Under the wrong circumstances I am certain this beer would be too much to handle, but in the correct time and place - a small slice of heaven. Cheers.

Jul 19, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours amber with a medium white head that dissolves fairly quickly. Aroma is heavily bubble gum and bananas. Flavor is sweet, centrally the yeasty flavors of bubble gum, banana, apple, with hops adding some citrus and bitterness. A bit of caramel flavor and alcohol in there. Carbonation is a bit on the flat side.

Pours a nice looking amber with beige head. Aroma is pretty complex, all I can say it is spicey and malty, with alcohol aroma. Flavor is very much the same pluse sweet. Mouth feel is full body, heavy, somewhat creamy smooth with med. carbonation....Over all I really like this one.....

Jul 6, 2008 22oz from Total Wine @$6.99 (w/Coupon) Aroma didn’t unveal much about what was to come. Pours a redish-tan with a nice little white head. Okay quad true to the style. Nice spice with a somewhat hoppy finish. Stuck to the palate, rather creamy. Carbonation was noticable, nothing to much so. Not bad, but Avery makes better.

Jul 6, 2008 Poured this beer from the large-sized bottle into a trappist glass. The aroma was pleasant, featuring some dark fruits, candy tones, and some citrus hops too. It had a dark gold-straw color with a fairly large, foamy, white head that had pretty good retention. The taste was sweet, with the fruits and candy coming through, and maybe a touch of sourness. It was smooth on the palate, and the high alcohol content was barely discernible; a drier, thinner beer.

Jul 5, 2008 Poured a nice orange copper color; a little lighter than expected, but the lack of head retention and only a small, non-lasting head is what brings this one down. Smell is of caramel and dark fruit, some cherries as well. Taste is real nice, starts out with a burnt caramel flavor, toffee, and some dark fruits. I think this may even meld better with age. Mouthfeel is chewy, definitely full bodied with carbonation on the lower side, but still present. Pretty solid, and if I remember correctly, the best United States brewed quad that I’ve had. Certainly worth a try, I think I’ll be picking up a couple to age next time.
