Apr 12, 2009 Copper pour, low head, no lace. Sweet bready aroma. Lightly carbed, heavy caramel malts, very sweet. Some coffee or chocolate notes, with a slightly dry finish. Very thick mouthfeel. Though I like sweet beers, this is a little much. Slightly disappointing.

Apr 12, 2009 Delicious! Great fruity aroma but the taste is suprisingly less so. Great beer to have with a meal because it is not overpowering.

Apr 11, 2009 Pours light amber with white head that dissipates. Aroma is malty and medicinal. Taste is same as aroma, pepper/spice, anise, burnt sugar, dark fruit, alcohol is warming. It’s a good quad but there are much better.

Apr 9, 2009 Brownish ruby amber with modest white head. Aroma is loaded with dark fruit- raisin, plum, fig, caramel, molasses and lots of spicy yeast. Flavor mimics the aroma in many senses: tons of residual sugar sweetness with a backbone of malt and slightest hop balance. Quite underrated. Palate is silky smooth and slightly alcoholic. Excellent.

Apr 9, 2009 pours a red/orange with a 1 finger frothy head. Aroma is heavy with dark fruit- prunes, fig, raisin, plum. Flavor is very sweet; the dark fruits lighten up a bit and become sweeter, and the alcohol manifests itself in what struck me as a cognac flavor. Palate is pretty average for the style. I like it because it’s a quad, but not impressive compared to some others.

Apr 6, 2009 Bomber served in a snifter. Pours a cloudy dark orange. Nose of a Bloody Mary. Minimal head and lacing. Full flavored and sugary. Prune and molasses finish. I had high hopes, but can not recommend this one.

Apr 5, 2009 Aroma of alcohol and sugars with some fruit. Caramel and fruity taste leads to an alcohol finish. Nice beer

does not count  Apr 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours a gorgeous, clear rusty amber. The appearance of this beer is quite beautiful, actually. Definitely this quad’s strongest feature. A rather thick and quickly vanishing head, yielding some pleasant lacing on the glass. The head didn’t yield too much in the way of an aroma, however. There was a bit of cinnamon and alcohol, but not much else. Brown sugar and cinnamon in the mouth, with a silky texture, though not as full of a mouthfeel that a quad demands. Finish is slightly sour with alcohol.
