| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | 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

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 8, 2007 22oz bottle that pours a dark copper color with a thick tan head. 10% alcohol that goes down smooth at 4$. My new favorite. LooseCannon (927), Norfolk, Virginia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 6, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours hazy golden color with white head. Sweat aroma of malt and honey. Taste of sweat malt a little alcohol bit at the end. mike mcneil (660), St Augustine, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 2, 2007 Pours a crystal clear copper-orange color under a fluffy and thick off-white head. Quite odd the see a Belgian Quad style beer so translucent without the typical haziness. Head dissapates quickly to some spotty blotches of foam. No lacing noted. Aroma is of rich, luscious ripe brandy soaked black cherries, figs, dates and raisins against a background of caramel, malt and spices. Mouthfeel is nicely balanced between the heavy, chewy, thick body and the overtly spritzy carbonation which keeps the texture from becoming too oily or slick. The flavor profile of this beer improved immensely as it warmed from its initial serving temp of 50*F. Taste was very sweet and rich with notes of Belgain candy and dark brown sugar along with caramel candy apples, raisins, dates, some faint banana and cloves and warming alcohol. Finishes with just a hint of hop bitterness to keep the sweetness in check. Goes down real easy for a 10%’er. Found these at a local upscale grocery market for $3.69/bomber so I picked up 10 of them. Makes it even that more enjoyable to get such a nice price on ’em.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 2, 2007 I love this beer. Dark fruit in the nose along with alcohol, sour notes, and doughy maltiness. Sugary palate with no hint of alcohol other than the warming. Color is dark copper with an off-white head. Sticky finish. Very very nice.
