ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Aug 12, 2009 On tap at brewery. Pours a nice dark amber color with minimal tan head.
The aroma is sweet malts, clove, dark ripe plums and yeast. The taste like the aroma features a lot of dark fruit flavors, a lot of sweet malt and dark candied sugar and a big heavy alcohol finish.
Scouser (39), Pennsylvania, USA Aug 9, 2009 Updated: Aug 13, 2009smooth, easy drink so could be dangerous! fruity,molasses, currant at first and then a little spicy on backend. a nice beer ericandersnavy (1039), crossroads, Texas, USA Aug 5, 2009 bottle picked up at midway mart in denton, tx. poured a hazy amber/orange with a nice off white head that laced the glass and had some nice legs. aroma was orange, peach, malt, nutmeg, and powdered tobacco. flavor was orange, nutmeg, spice, alcohol, and some bitter. body was full with medium carbonation. thehurt01 (201), Denver, Colorado, USA Aug 3, 2009 A bottle. The beer poured a amber body with a cream head. The smell is of over ripe fruit. The taste is of plums and sour fruit. The carbonation is a little weak for me.
1 bottle 6 puggy211 (576), cordova, Tennessee, USA Aug 3, 2009 bottle. Pours a cloudy mahogany with a disappearing head. Aroma is assertively sweet without being sickening and is accompanied with the complexity of plums, cloves, figs, etc. It all comes together nicely in the flavor also with a dry vinous finish. The alcohol is not detectable. Totally solid take on the style, but doesn’t go above the already high standards for a quad.
williamherbert (461), Syracuse, New York, USA Jul 29, 2009 The appearance is thick, murky, plum-red. Head dies fast. Color and body are beautiful, though the head does evaporate. The smell is white wine all the way, and the alcohol comes in like gin. Sweet grapes and sour plums. Charcoal ashes in the nose, as well as nutmeg. Really complex. Gritty grain bill as it warms up, and another wave of that 10% alcohol. The taste is sweet grapes, perfume and rose petals. Heavy alcohol presence. Red apple and pears. Starts harsh and bitter. Finishes sweet and fruity. The malts emerge as the temperature rises, with a finish of dark stone fruits. The feel is severely thick and syrupy. High-density, like a red-wine. Smooth and oliy and big. This is a solid quad all around; it’s complex and bittersweet. Like a hefty red wine and a fruity white. MrPickles (108), Wisconsin, USA Jul 27, 2009 Red/amber color with a thin off white head. Aroma is sweet, sugary malts as well as a variety of fruit tones (dark fruits and apples), nice Belgian aroma with light alcohol presence. Taste is well-balanced with caramel malts and sweet sugar, a decent kick of alcohol finishes it. I really enjoyed this beer. imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA Jul 27, 2009 Bomber. Drank this one side by side with Gravitation. The pour is an amber orange with a small white head. Aromas of yeast, sweet candy, honey, and oranges. Flavor is somwhat dry and fizzy. Citrus, belgian yeast, caramel, boozy alcohol, and a medicinal finish are all present. I wasn’t expecting this for a quad, but not bad at all.
