| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 23, 2007 Malty aroma backed by Belgian candi, yeast and spice notes. Beautiful dark orange amber color with a white head that promptly ringed. A bit thin in body. Starts quite sweet, with dark sugar, dark fruits (in a light sort of way), and some varying spicy notes. The finish is mildly sweet, and there is not really a hint of bitter. Just a touch of what could be considered very ripe fruit. georgekappus (296), Brookfield, Connecticut, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 18, 2007 Bottle. Dark amber in color with no head. Honey and nutmeg in the aroma. Very strong alcohol taste. Slightly bubbly mouthfeel which I don’t particularly care for in a quad. cbeers21 (564), Miami, Florida, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 18, 2007 Nice lighter color with good head. Great malty/yeasty aroma with a touch of caramel and subtle spice. There is certainly a yeasty/sugary quality but it is measured and balanced by quiet spice flavors. A well balanced brew which hides its strength quite well, but alcohol is still present. Overall I quite enjoyed this brew. Goodgrief (1149), Middletown, Delaware, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 15, 2007 Updated: Sep 13, 2007Okay, a quad...this one poured light colored with decent head. No complexity at all and just too darned sweet...REALLY sweet and artificial tasting. Sugar and caramel. That’s all. I read a forum thread on how great Avery beers were...leave this one alone. If you want a quad, there are NUMEROUS better offerings out there...although the slogan "Created by God. Feared by Satan. Love by all." was kinda cool, I was kinda disturbed by the label...but maybe that’s me. hayduke (1636), Eureka, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 12, 2007 From a 22 oz bottle purchased in West Springfield. MA this poured a rich amber color with a moderate off-white head and nice rings of lacing. Nose is caramel malts and floral hops with a hint of banana. Mouthfeel rich and creamy. Flavor was of malts and hops, with fruits in the background. Somewhat on the sweet side. It hides the alcohol quite well. Very nice brew. scottmc (167), Lakewood, Colorado, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 6, 2007 Tap. At the 14th Avery Anniversary party. A mild gold in color with a very light hop aroma and a faint malty aroma overpowering the hops. A dry finish. BeerBiker (1392), Kathmandu, Nepal
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 3, 2007 [Sampled at DØE-festival, Valby, 2007 with svoger AT THE LAWN.]
Wow a final beer here at the lawn outside the Valby temple. Voluminous amounts of ingredients such as spices, alcohol, dried fruit, yeast, sherry and much more makes this a great final beer for that wonderful day! djd07 (733), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 31, 2007 Bottle as shown. Pours an amber color with a medium white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a very spicy fruit with some malt. The taste is sweet and does not hide the alcohol well but still an all around good brew. Another good beer from Avery.
