Nov 6, 2006 Not a lot of aroma. Very very smooth, almost to the point of being more creamy than spicy. Pretty malty throughout, but quite nice. Beer 13.

Jul 18, 2004 Spicy cinnamon nose with some dark fruits supported by alcohol. Tall foamy head - fizzy and lacy - with a deep ruby color - gorgeous! Heavy syrup and fig malt base. Some toastedness and caramell. The spicy end is the highlight of the profile - cinnamon and some pepper. Medium body and a warm round mouth feel accented by the strong lcohol. Complex, but there is something very straightforward about this.

May 17, 2004 Ruby-amber colour. Boozy cotton candy aroma. Flavour is quite bitter with harsh alcohol notes and a sugary background. I’m not sure of the age of the bottle I sampled, but I’d suspect that it could’ve done with a bit of aging to mellow it out.

Dec 31, 2003 Copper coloured body with a light orange/red tint. Very thin off-white head. Aroma of peaches, alcohol, pears and malt. Full-bodied; Sweet initial flavour with caster sugar, peaches but then overshadowed by malt and an alcoholic burn. Aftertaste clean in comparison to the taste, but some alcoholic flavour remains. Overall, a good beer, but not pleasing for the style-nice to try however! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased by my sister's fiance at Norm's in Vienna, Virginia on 25-December-2003.

Jan 24, 2007 22 oz bottle, via X-mas 2006 SecretSanta. Pours a clear dark copper under an extremely thin and fizzy light beige head that vanished immediately. Are we sure that this is a Quad? Aroma is of syrupy thick toffee and caramel malt with a good amount of alcohol. A little vanilla, some light fruitiness, and brown and candi sugars. Flavor is just downright crazy for a Quad. Sweet toffee maltiness with lots of alcohol and browm sugar. I guess that there’s a little fruitiness, but not the dark fruits I expect, more of a peachy flavor. A notable missing component is the yeast. Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy with a cloying stickiness. Carbonation is moderate, prickly, and fizzy. I dare anyone to try this blind and call it a Quad. It just wouldn’t happen. What the hell is Belgian about this other than the use of candi sugar?

Jul 30, 2006 On tap at Barley’s Smokehouse - Pours dark amber with a short offwhite head. Aromas of candi sugar, raisins, caramel, and a touch of apple. Flavor is caramel, candi sugar, raisins, a touch of mollasses, and brown sugar. Lots of sweet flavors here. Body is almost sticky sweet and pretty full bodied.. Not much carbonation.

Oct 12, 2002 Updated: Jan 7, 2004On tap GABF 02: Dark hazy orange color, huge sweet aroma, syrupy mouthfeel. Ends really sweet. I couldn't get anything out of this but sweetness. A re-rate candidate for sure.

Jun 6, 2008 22oz bottle, foolishly purchased. Pours a bright, clear ruby-orange color; light-tan head with glistening fine-bubbled lacing. Stale malts, chewy dried fruits, and boozy leather in the aroma; highly alcoholic for the amount of aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: sticky candy sugar, cardboard, and chewy, ridiculously sticky maltiness; unbalanced and just remarkably sweet without much character or malty complexity. Very, very disappointing, though I should know better. Lengthy, sticky finish: cardboard, chewy malts, cereal, and basic sugar. Not very good at all.
