Jul 13, 2007 talk about bang for your buck. 4 dollar quad. pours a rich mahogney color with a small acidic head. Smells of fruits. Tastes like a dubbel with carmel notes .Cherries are presant too. Surprisgnly good, and refreshing as the alcohol is hidden.

Jul 10, 2007 Pours a semi-dark brown color with a thin tan head. Has almost no lacing. Has hints of caramel, dark fruit, spice, candied sugar,and a good barley flavor. Finishes medium bodied with a sugary alcohol feeling on the tongue.

Jul 7, 2007 Very overt belgain yeast - especially strong are the dried flower and fig or currant. I was surprised at just how compact this beer seems, a very dense beer that sits really well on the palate. I wasn’t as blown away by the candy sugar as I thought I would be, but the alchohol is definitely present here. A surprisingly good drinking beer.

Jul 6, 2007 THOUGHTS: At first smelled more like a tripel and tasted like a dubbel. But as it warmed it took on its own flavors and aromas. Sweet caramel flavor with just the right amount of hop bitterness. Balance is not bad but goes from overly sweet to an odd bitter quickly with nothing in berewwn. Needs better transition, but overall a really good beer. There was a little whiskey flavor too, later.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a medium to dark orangey amber with a small, white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was heavy caramel malt and light chocolate malt and some medium-colored fruit. The initial flavor was moderately sweed and lightly acidic, while the finish was heavily sweet and lightly acidic and bitter with an average duration. The body was medium to full and slightly syrupy (sticky on the lips) and dry in the back with fizzy carbonation and a very light metallic and lightly alcoholic finish.

Jul 6, 2007 Bomber. Certainly of the orageish amber hue, small even faint head. The flavor is good, I’m surprised it’s a quad as it doesnt seem that "big" but is nicely balanced, crisp and full. Quite easy to drink and contrary the the review below this, I think the alcohol is very nicely hidden and not over the top.

Jul 2, 2007 Updated: Jul 7, 2007Tries to impress, but ends up as being just overly alcoholic. Haven’t made any notes as to what it actually tasted like, so it can’t have been anything interesting.

Jun 28, 2007 Pours a deep reddish/brown. Aroma is of spices with possible sugar, malt, and earth notes thrown in as well. The taste is very smooth and slightly sweet. However, as a huge fan of quads this left me wanting more. It should be more complex with more bold flavoring.

Jun 28, 2007 A dark cherry brown with a very nice spicey aroma, maybe cinimon-sugar. Definately a favorite. Despite the high "octane" went down very well.
