Dec 31, 2007 Sampled at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN from a 22-oz bomber. Pours a semi-hazy cola brown brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and white ring. Aroma of dark fruity caramel malt, some raisins, figs, dark pitted fruit and a touch of yeast. Taste is smooth, creamy, medium bodied, with some carbonation and flavors of dark roasted malt, Belgian yeast, candi sugar, and a touch of raisins. Finish is slightly metallic from the high alcohol with a dark fruit and yeast aftertaste. This is one decent winter warmer.

Dec 26, 2007 650 ml. Orange-copper with a medium-sized head that lasts well. Caramel, spicy yeast, bubblegum and alcohol in the aroma. Caramel, alcohol, fruity-bubblegum esters, spicy bread yeast and more alcohol in the flavor. Smooth, medium-heavy palate has a lot of carbonation, and finishes dry. Fairly complex flavors, but too much alcohol and yeast for me.

Dec 26, 2007 Bottle, bought @ Vinens Verden, Odense. Pours a lightly hazy deep orange with a small, creamy off white head on top. Aroma is complex with a vinious streak to it. Lots of fruits , rather ripe, some black currants, some oranges, some apples. All of it on a background of caramelly biscuit malts. Mouthfeel is rather oily and very full. Flavour is not as complex as expected from the aroma. The alcohol is quite present. The fruitiness prevails at first with a clear definition of raisins and apples. The malty meatiness is sadly a bit too subdued, only appearing in the aftertaste, where biscuit surely got some bite. This is a good Quad, but only good... compared to all the other Quads (from Belgium), this is nothing...

Aroma is malty and sweet with hints of spicy malts and lots of Belgian yeast. Flavor is also sweet with plenty of brown sugar, dark fruits... figs and dates and cherries. Finishes very sweet.

Dec 21, 2007 Aged about 8 months. This brew pours a slightly hazy, dark cola brown body with a small, fluffy, off-white head. Minimal, spotty lacing adorns the glass. The aroma is very sweet, with the primary components being candied sugar, caramel, figs, raisons, and dates. One whiff and you know this one’s going to be really sweet, and the flavor proves this theory. Candied sugar dominates the palate, and it is soon accompanied by various sweet, malty overtones. Golden raisons play a huge role, with figs and dates also present. Medium-full bodied and somewhat sticky. Finishes short and sweet. Pretty solid brew, but it takes on the role of a sugary dessert more so than a deep, complex quad.

Dec 21, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a hazy amber color with a small white head. Notes of yeast, fruit and light spice in the aroma. Taste includes quite a bit in the way of fermented fruits, candy sugar, and molasses. Alcoholic notes were rather harsh at times, especially towards the finish. Average mouthfeel and palate. Good, but could have been better.

Dec 19, 2007 Bright malty and fruit aroma. Some roasted oaken qualities. Flavor is nicely roasted malt, wood, some cherry chocolate, mild vanilla. Mild dried fruits. Fairly solid on the tongue. Alcohol is not overtly present. Colors are brownish orange and very transparent. Not a bad beer overall.
