badlizard (2324), Berkeley, California, USA May 4, 2007 Green apple and slightly sour aroma. Apple, pear, malt, and alcohol dominate the flavor with a honey flavored finish. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA May 3, 2007 22 oz bottle. Poured a clear copper color. Head was two fingers high and off white with good retention and lacing. Aroma was of fresh malty cereal grain, clove, accented by a hint of banana and caramel. Sweet on the tongue and full bodied. Lots of different flavors to pick out. Cotton candy, clove, cherry schnapps, and more clove. Pretty tasty. UselessGdTaste (363), Long Beach, California, USA Apr 29, 2007 Avery for sure... Lots of caramel. Not terribly refreshing, but very nice feel on the palate. Carl99Fan (186), Suwanee, Georgia, USA Apr 28, 2007 Poured orange brown with diminishing off white head. Bready aroma with hint of hops and yeast. Great flavor. Another winner from Avery. inkycaps (15), , Texas, USA Apr 26, 2007 My first experience with this beer - I was already drunk. Aroma was rich with raisin, pumpkin pie, and carmel apples. It poured like liquid beer candy, and tasted like it. It was sweet and frothy, and very good. This beer kicked my ass, and I paid for it. The second time I tried it, I was disappointed. The pumpkin pie aroma and flavor were replaced with bitterness and it became very one dimensional. I know for a fact that the second time I purchased this beer, I had gotten older pints. However, it still kicked my ass. Grovlam (3790), Copenhagen, Denmark Apr 24, 2007 Bottle. Yet another Quardrupel, but this time somewhat disappointing. Small off-white fizzy head that mostly diminished. Spar lacing. Light particles in flow and color were amber. Aroma was recognizable as a Quardrupel with notes of dry fruit, hint of bread, toffee, liquorish and light vinous. Medium to full bodied with a light alcoholic texture. Flavor was moderated sweet malt with hint of hops bitterness. Finish was short and sweet. Not as powerful as I had hoped, think it needs a bit more punch in the aroma and over the palate, but still a very drinkable Quardrupel. CheersMate1 (766), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Apr 20, 2007 Very nice and fruity aroma pleasing to the nose. I love the high ABV, that is always a plus with beer. I am not really impressed with the appearance, especially considering this is an Abt/Quadrupel. I can say that the head looks great. It is nice a tight and compact head. The beer is nice and creamy. A very smooth beer indeed, but the beer is not thick enough for me. This is an Abt I need some body to my beer! Very fruity with a hint of spice to it. The ABV adds a great zing during your drinking. This beer is malty and the sweetness, at least for me, doesn’t show itself until the beer is practically down my throat. I especially love the Abts for their bold flavors, but this beer didn’t do that. It didn’t make my tastebuds go crazy as most of them do; although I can taste the molasses and caramel in the beer. I have mixed feelings on this beer’s taste. Overall, decent brew. tenghave (402), Taastrup, Denmark Apr 20, 2007 Rød øl med meget hurtig svindende skum.
Duften er lækker karamelagtig.
Smagen er karamel/figen agtig, og meget cremet i konsistensen. Amerikans humle brugt. Varm og lækker (alcohol) og en tør afslutning.
