Mutualaid (136), Texas, USA Feb 18, 2007 Pours a warm reddish with a generous off-white head. Somewhat earthy malt aroma with a bit of herbal hop bouquet. Big malt flavor carries a noticeable alcohol heat, a hint of hop bitterness. Pretty decent Quad. FrankJohansen (3329), Sabro, Denmark Feb 17, 2007 Bottle. Amber colour with a medium mostly lasting off white head. Rich aroma and taste of hops and malts with notes of fruits. HenrikSoegaard (4263), Randers, Denmark Feb 17, 2007 Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Heavy malty and hopy aroma with touch og licorice. Moderate bitter flavor. Long finish. Creamy palate. bigandy1978 (3), Louisville, Kentucky, USA does not count Feb 14, 2007 alcohol, chocolate, cloudy, brown, tan foam, It’s flavor is bold, deep and delicious.full body, slick feel, soft carbonation. One of these beers will mess you up. (22 oz.) michael-pollack (2603), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 12, 2007 22oz. Bottle: Aroma was heavily sweet. HInts of nutmeg of nutmeg and cinnamon make the aroma slightly spicy, but scent is dominated by plum/cherry/strawberry notes. Poured copper/amber in color with a medium-sized off-white head that lasted. Good lacing. Clear and sparkling. Flavor is very sweet and malty. Tastes a lot like Avery’s Salvation without the tart finish of that beer. There is a spiciness to the finish. Tastes of plums, prunes, cherries, and nutmeg. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Long, sweet finish. Overall, hides the 10% ABV well, and has an interesting flavor. I’ll have to try more Quads to compare it to. BDR (2139), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Feb 12, 2007 A dark yellow/gold color with a modest head. Honey and molasses on the nose with a sweet spicy flavor. alexanderj (2213), Chino Hills, California, USA Feb 10, 2007 Poured an orange, brown...medium sized head. Nice looking. Aroma of spice and brown sugar. Pretty good and different. Sweet, but did not find it overwhelmingly so. Flavor of yeast, candy sugar, spice and fruit. Good, but not great. RedEft (131), Wichita, Kansas, USA Feb 10, 2007 Poured a beautiful, deep amber with a perfect, off-white head. A knockout, delicious aroma of brown sugar and spices. One of the best aromas I’ve experienced in some time. Wow, is this stuff SWEET. Hit you in the mouth, knock you out of your chair, and call you "Susan" sweet. A bit too sweet. Ok, much too sweet. But as the mug disappears, it’s getting a bit more bearable and the alcohol is definitely asserting itself. It’s not at all well balanced. It hits you with the sugar assault up front, then a mild, yeasty middle, and finishing with a sour, leaning towards sickly alcohol bite. This seems more like a barley wine without the hops. This is a great beer until you taste it...ultimately and irreversibly flawed.
