Jun 24, 2004 The body is a beautiful ruby-brown, but there is absolutely no head. It didn’t matter how hard I poured, I couldn’t get anything to form., but it wasn’t flat. It wasn’t heavily carbonated, but there was enough to make it feel right on the tongue. Juicy fruit, biscuits, caramel, lemon, tea and butter all swirl in a very sweet and slightly thick beer. The complexity is pleasant, but the sweetness verges on being cloying. A nice alcoholic bite helps cut the sweetness a tad.

Jun 11, 2006 Eh, this was poor. Poured a way to light color for a quad/abt: golden-red color with slight brown-ness. The head was weak. Aroma was musty, slightly grassy, and lightly spiced. The lacing was nil. The flavor was caramel-like with a grassy aftertaste, some hay-like funk. Mouthfeel was sticky and unpleasant. This has to be the worst of the quads I’ve ever sampled.

May 15, 2006 Bottle: Poured (in a Chimay glass) a clear medium copper color ale with a small head with minimal retention. Aroma is quite hot with alcohol and very sweet cookie dough. Taste is also dominated by the sweet cookie dough and some strong alcohol traces. Definitely lacking complexity and the dry figs/prune character that I usually like to find in a quadruple. Too sweet for its own good, alcohol is way too apparent and body is too thin are all characteristics in beer that I usually don’t track down and that’s why I won’t be buying this again.

May 4, 2007 Green apple and slightly sour aroma. Apple, pear, malt, and alcohol dominate the flavor with a honey flavored finish.

Dec 21, 2007 Aged about 8 months. This brew pours a slightly hazy, dark cola brown body with a small, fluffy, off-white head. Minimal, spotty lacing adorns the glass. The aroma is very sweet, with the primary components being candied sugar, caramel, figs, raisons, and dates. One whiff and you know this one’s going to be really sweet, and the flavor proves this theory. Candied sugar dominates the palate, and it is soon accompanied by various sweet, malty overtones. Golden raisons play a huge role, with figs and dates also present. Medium-full bodied and somewhat sticky. Finishes short and sweet. Pretty solid brew, but it takes on the role of a sugary dessert more so than a deep, complex quad.
