Jul 31, 2007 Bottle. This is a young batch. Big malty nose, with caramel and cherry and figs. Deep amber pour with a large foamy, tiny-bubbled beige head and medium-strong carbonation coming right up the chute. Big malty taste with a prominent alcohol component. Dries out toward the end, aftertaste is somewhat caramellous. Fullish body, a bit too boozy.

Jul 27, 2007 On tap @ Porter’s Pub, UCSD. Deep red brown without much head. Sweetish aroma, not too strong. Flavor was swee, cadni sugar with soem dark fruitness. A bit of alcohol too. A verry drinkable brew, but lacks the depth and complexity of real belgians quads.

Jul 26, 2007 Bottle, pours a clear red color, with a quickly dissapating white head. Aroma, not really one to mention, maybe just a slight banana. Taste is slightly fruity, a touch of sourness, alcohol. I was suprissed by how light the palate was. Hmm really not a whole lot going on with this brew. I really let this one sit for awhile too hoping it would open up as it warmed but no not really. Consider it a tasty malt liquor and you would be happy.

Jul 25, 2007 Updated: Apr 2, 2008Sadly when I took notes on this, but all I can find is my rating...however I remember enjoying it (as I do most Avery beers)....and several other beers after as well.

Jul 24, 2007 On tap at the Bocktown. Slightly darker than the ubiquitous pale yellow american lager beer. Has a little more orange to it. The head is composed of a thin layer of larger bubbles and smaller creamy foam. Barely has any aroma, perhaps I do smell a little candy sweetness in there. Initial taste is a little earthy and rather mild for a quad, hides the alky content well. After a few sips however, the alky bitterness and warming begins to accumulate. No warming down the throat but warming in the mouth. Barely any perceivable carbonation. Continued medium high malty bitterness builds with more sips. Body is mouth coating and approaches the feel of syrup. Tho I haven’t tasted many quads this is as good as Weyerbacher Quad and not as refined or enjoyable as 3 philosophers. Finish is medium length and rather alky.

Jul 22, 2007 Updated: Aug 28, 2009bottle poured into a pint glass amber in color , smell is of malt, fruit, sweetness, spice, and champagne yeast. taste is real nice, the yeast brings a nice dry champagne taste, dark fruits, sweet but not too much. has a nice dry taste and the alcohol was somewhat present but not overpowering. real solid beer overall but in my world could use a little more fruit.

Jul 16, 2007 pours a clear dark orange with a one finger cream colored fluffy head. aroma is heavy Belgian yeast and heavy candy sugar with a touch of hops. has a medium body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma. is a little sticky on the lips and has a little bite from the carbonation and hops. also has a small dry hop aftertaste. not to bad of a quad. also has a small alcohol burn in the nose, but there is none in the taste. however there is a little in the aftertaste and the back of the throat. has a little bit of yeast sediment floating around in the second glass. also is a little more sweet than the first glass as well. and there is a little alcohol flavor in the second glass.

Jul 13, 2007 Clear orange to amberish with a thin small bubbled white head. Rather faint nose. some berry-like malty sweetness over alcohol. The general Belgian array of spices. cinnamon? Sharp toast? Low carbonation, not much body, thin. Much drier than I’d have guessed. Dry Belgian candy sugar. Light fruit. Strong alcohol. Toast. Some light spice, primarily cinnamon. A toasty finish with unexpected chocolate malt (given the rest of the beer). Boozy alcoholic finish.
