Sep 15, 2009 Just a little too sweet for me, but was still pretty good. My first "quadrupel"

Sep 14, 2009 Bottle... Poured an orange with a thick white head. Aroma of a mild booziness, yeast, brown sugar, malt and spices. Mild carbonation and an overall smooth palate. A creamy, caramel, vanilla and a mild chocolate character with flavors of candy sweets, rum-like nut character, dark malts and dark fruits. Not as deep and dark as other quads, but very drinkable and a nice quality to it.

Sep 12, 2009 Pours a cloudy pinkish orange -- persimmon, for those of you familiar with the fruit. Disappointingly small amount of foam. Aroma is wonderful -- yeasty and bready, maybe a bit of nutmeg. Taste is rather biting with a strong burn of alcohol, pretty sweet too. Not bad, but there are far better quads out there.

Sep 12, 2009 BOTTLE: red/gold pour, white fluffy head. Aroma of yeast, booze, and maybe nut? Taste is similar, good but not exceptional.

Sep 3, 2009 I understand that this beer has pure cane sugar in it, but it honestly tastes like someone took an above average, higher end priced, beer and poured in a few sugar packers. Its too sweet in a hard to drink way. - One possible upside, the alcohol taste is concealed pretty well.

Sep 1, 2009 Very slightly hazy orange red pour with a white head, good retention and average lace. Aroma of spicy and sweet pepper, sweet belgian candy and slight citrus. Flavor is Belgian candy sweetness wtih medium spicy bitterness from the hops. Medium body wtih moderate carbonation and very little alcohol warmth. 10% is well hidden. Great beer.

Sep 1, 2009 Bomber from The Village Market. Pours a dark cloudy brown with a decent off-white head. The most predominant notes are spicy, sweetness from the malts and slightly bitter dark fruits. The abv was clearly present throughout the beer. Another nice selection from Avery but I’m pretty sure if faced with other abts/quads I’d take them over this.

Sep 1, 2009 Enjoyed from a 22oz bottle in a tulip glass. The beer pours a deep brown with an off-white to nearly tan head. The nose brings very strong malt notes, giving the sense that the beer is more a doppelbock than a Belgian strong dark. Additionally, notes of cherry and wood come through that bring the overall aromatics closer to style. The palate begins very malt, and then adds in some yeast-derived medium fruits (again cherries?), and finishing slightly sweet. Overall, very well done.
