May 18, 2007 Nice ruby color, not much carbonation. Aroma is sugary and sweet. Definitely a sticky-sweet flavor predominates. Hops are in there somewhere, but not real noticeable with all the sugary sweetness going on. Really too much as far as the sugary flavor goes in my opinion. It’s ok, but not something I would seek out again.

May 16, 2007 Bottle. Decent brown pour with a white head. Aroma is full and sweet, too hoppy for the style, but interesting. Flavor is just like the aroma - way too sweet, and hugely malty - there’s a lot going on here, and I like some of it, but this is more of a BSA inspired by a quad than anything else. None of that balance that makes the world class quadrupels so good. Overall, I enjoyed this beer, and the alcohol is hidden well. But it’s not what I want out of a quadrupel.

May 15, 2007 Bottle- Pours a medium amber brown color, small white head. Aroms tickles your nose, fresh with some minor notes of dark fruit, bread. Drinking this is sweet ad malty, finishes slightly dry and boozy. A decent brew

May 10, 2007 Strong alcohol and yeast nose. Very sweet: cherries, sugar, toffee. Sticky texture works with all the sugar notes, and the alcohol singes just a little.

May 6, 2007 Bottle. Pours a brilliant amber with a two finger light tan head that lasts leaving good lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel, cherries, dark fruit, bready malt, and alcohol. Taste is the same as aroma with a good amount of alcohol warmth as it goes down. Medium full mouthfeel that finishes slightly to sweet. Alcohol is a little strong and it finishes too sweet but is still a good Abt/Quadrupel.

May 5, 2007 From the white elephant exchange at the MKE gathering. Aroma of grapes, caramel, vinous and sweet. A nice combination of dried fruit, alcohol and caramel. Amber-copper in color, very clear and a medium white head. Warming alcohol, sweet caramel with a burnt, toasted-wheat flavor. Some Belgian yeast character in the form of esters and a strong alcohol bite in the finish. Reminds me of a really, really strong dunkelweizen. Medium-light body, slightly creamy texture. Just a bit too boozy.
