brettpace (179), Northridge, California, USA Mar 24, 2007 I dont particularly care for colorado beers. This one is an exception. It was very good, a bit sweet for my taste. This beer put me over the edge on a long night of drinking. slimchill (773), Austin, Texas, USA Mar 21, 2007 Updated: Mar 22, 2007Bottle. Nose is intense, lots of complexity. Apple juice at first, then alcohol, followed by pears, sugar, and hops. Color is a beautiful golden amber, with a steady thin white head, beautiful lacing, and some dancing carbonation rising toward the surface. Flavor is somewhat disappointing only in comparison with the aroma. It’s much heavier on the alcohol and apples. The palate, though, is the savior of the alcoholic-heavyness. It is smooth and light, but thick and strong. henry3r (586), Wichita, Kansas, USA Mar 20, 2007 The 22 ounce bottle poured a sparkling clear beautiful reddish amber beverage with a modest sized off-white head that was mostly lasting and left good lacing on the glass. The aroma was fruity and spicy with notes of orange peel, coriander, pepper and wild cherry. This one is a very full-bodied beer with lively carbonation and a smooth, creamy texture. The flavor starts out with a medium sweetness that lasts through the long finish. The sweetness faithfully follows the aroma in composition and the finish has a nice alcohol warmth as a bonus. matty1976 (5), Seattle, Washington, USA does not count Mar 16, 2007 This is a slightly better than average quad. It has a nice ruby appearance and solid palate but over all this beer is just slightly better than its peers chadzter (94), huntsville, Alabama, USA Mar 15, 2007 Bottle. Pours with a off-white foamy head. Color is nice copper. Aroma is fruity with a sweet caramel hint. Caramel roasted malt with an oak wood tasted. Creamy smooth finish. DrHomolka (725), Columbus, Ohio, USA Mar 15, 2007 Bomber poured into a Trappist glass. Pours a ruby red with a white head. Pretty light color considering the style. Aroma smells more authentic. Yeasty, fruity, though still light. Taste is smooth and fruity. Refreshing. Everything about this beer except for the ABV seems uncharacteristic for a Quad. Seemed more like a Dubbel to me. Still good I just had high expectations. jmikolich (405), Athens, Ohio, USA Mar 14, 2007 22oz Bottle, Shared with DeuceDeuceOU. Pours an amber color, interesting taste, just like a Quad should taste, tons of malt and spice. finishes quick with the taste of alcohol and at 10% thats no surprise. zamco17 (134), Corpus Christi, Texas, USA Mar 12, 2007 pours medium brown with a small head. smell is classic belgian. has a heavy rochefort 8 style taste. complex and the alcohol comes through a little bit. good stuff
