Mar 23, 2008 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Bottle. Pours a opaque reddish-caramel color, with a wisp of wet head. Sticky sheets of lacing. Raisin, caramel, dough, fig, melon...could be more assertive though. Raisin in the flavor, and licorice, molasses, caramel, banana, brown sugar, peach. Lots of stuff here, nice. Medium-bodied, and drinkable despite the ABV. Nice clean finish. Well-balanced. This is good.

Mar 22, 2008 sweet candy dark fruit aroma. pours a pale copper, slightly cloudy. very small white head. starts out intensely sweet and malty, then gets dry and a little spicy. the finish is neverending, which is strange for how thin it feels. Nice and complex, but overpoweringly sweet

Mar 21, 2008 22 oz bomber purchased at Spirits RB. Pours a crisp clear burnt rust color wih a large white fluffy head that slowly recedes and leaves some lace on the glass. Aroma of yeast, candi sugar and some bread. Palate is on the thin side with a watery feel and average carbonation. Grainy flaovr with lots of bread, slight sweetness from the sugars, yeast, dough and fruit rind. Nice beer I just wish I had the patience to age it but alas I didn’t.

Mar 21, 2008 Reddish in color with a good white head. Aromas is sweet with the fruitness and caramel coming through. Taste is sweet. Body has been lightened somewhat for the strenght of the beer. Not bad.

Mar 19, 2008 Copper to dark amber with a thin off-white head. A slightly vegetal note after the first pour and sniff. Developed into a moderately intense malty and spice backbone. Raisin, black pepper and black cherry notes. Slight resiny earthy hop aroma with a thin aromatic layer of anise candy. Mouthfeel is warming but not the rocket-fuel I imagined it would be. Medium bodied with medium-high carbonation. Very similar to a doulbed dubbel (hence the quadrupel?) and could use some age to balance out the profile...though too much age might build up too much vegetal character. Lots of specialty malt is evident with a particular emphasis on special b. A very fine beer, but a little too sweet of a finish for my taste.

Mar 19, 2008 Orange-amber with creamy, off-white head / Complex, floral, winey nose / Full body with big malts but lightening with a good, hoppy, long finish / Flavors of violets, banana, orange, candied sugar, coriander, and oak / Nicely balanced, almost delicate, for such a big ale.

Mar 16, 2008 A very well crafted brew. Dont understand how low the rating is. It is relatively dark and a little flat for a normal Quad however the brew is still very well prepared and has great malty goodness.
