Aug 1, 2002 Updated: Oct 10, 2006Bottle... It’s a pretty good belgian style quad. A bit on the hot side, but pleasantly warming. If you haven’t tried a quad, this would be a good one to start with, but be sure you are sitting down and have no plans for the rest of the day.

Jan 6, 2005 Pours a clean and clear copper mahogany with a thin light tan head with fine lacing. Aroma isn’t particularly complex, but has some sweet caramel maltiness, a touch of pepper and some Belgian yeasty esters. Body starts fairly viscous with appropriate carbonation. Has a nice Belgian malty and candi sugar sweetness throughout with some bready yeast character toward the dry, peppery and fizzy finish. This is fairly well balanced, but the great complexities, especially that of dark fruit, that can be found in a Westy or Rochefort are just bereft here.

Sep 1, 2005 Updated: Sep 2, 2005Bottle. The palest abt/quad i’ve had, ruby amber in colour. Sickly sweet sugary, syrupy aroma. Maple syrup in there somewhere. palate is very sweet, and way too cloying and sticky. Some brown sugar and the maple syrup stickyness in the finish. Sticky pruny fruit, wayt too sweet, way to sticky, cloying.

Jun 6, 2006 Clear amber colour with a small off white head. Sweet, caramel malty aroma with notes of yeast and fruit. Malty and dark fruit sweet flavor with a hints of spices. Light alcohol sweet finish. Thin palate for this style of beer.

Aug 23, 2004 Updated: Nov 26, 2006Creamy fig sweetness filling up the sparse roasted malt husks...Underlying berriness resides within amongst the apparent alcohol (which is nonetheless well-masked for the 10%) and fails to give more Belgian-ness to this secular double brown or English Strong Ale...A stout performer which is not true to its billing but which still entertains...

Nov 17, 2004 Bottled: Orange coloured. Clear. Ha no head. Alcahol, fruit and some spices in the aroma. Is fruity, malty and very sweet in the flavour. The alcahol is very dominating but spices are present as well. Ends on a sweet and alcaholdense note. I’m not really in to this beer, and would prefer a belgian Abt anytime.

Aug 22, 2005 Updated: Jan 24, 2007Pours ruby red with an initially thick off-white head that eventually subsides into a thin lacing that sticks around for the duration of the tasting. Smells like a port with some very nice big grapey notes, allspice and oranges. Tastes of figs, raisins, nuts, milk chocolate, and toffee. Finish is somewhat champagne like with some tickley notes and a grapey dry aftertaste.

Apr 3, 2003 Updated: Mar 20, 2009Dark golden grown hue, sweet hoppy aroma, which doesn’t really smell like a Belgian, but it does taste like one. Very strong alcoholic taste, but also has a sweet caramel syrup taste as well. Very spicy and sugary, almost too extreme, with alcohol biting the back of your mouth.
