Mar 8, 2004 22 oz bottle, snifter. Candi sugar (tons!) molasses malt (H); spicey hops (L); doughy yeast (L). Medium amber-red body with a small, egg-shell white head. Heavily sweet, lightly acidic flavor becomes a moderately sweet, lightly bitter finish. Lots of brown/candi sugar sweetness. Medium-heavy body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. The bottom line is: mmm...sugarn

Apr 20, 2003 Clear, brown color. Very Sweet, the cane sugar and molasses comes through in a big way here. Couldn't drink many of these in a sitting. Good beer with a cigar.

Mar 24, 2008 Poured a clear copper color with almost no head. A nice sweet aroma with mainly brown sugar notes too it. Flavor was initially sweet but finished with a bready-alcohol mix. Carbonation was low, body seemed thin for this style.

Aroma / Appearance - The body was a rusty red, like someone had dissolved old nails in it and left a trace of carbonation. Hints of white wine, applesauce and vanilla beans came from the glass with only a trace of things that I generally associate with quadrupels.
Flavor / Palate - The first impression was extremely bitter and alcoholic. It overwhelmed the caramel, cherries and banana flavors. The mouthfeel was very expansive - no corner of my mouth was left untouched. Unfortately this one was slightly unbalanced; Avery needs to work on lowering the alcoholic presence so that the other tastes can shine through

Jun 25, 2003 Beautiful golden amber, no head, but some lacing. Interesting combination of a belgian tripel and a barleywine — neither is my favorite style but the combination works here. Bready / yeasty taste from the tripel. Warming alcohol and a back of the mouth cough syrup and fruitiness that I associate more with barleywine and extreme beers like raison d'extra. There are enough great Belgian tripels and Belgian style beers out there; this is not on my short list of favorites. But it is a decent drinkable beer. And no I did not share tasting notes with slikwily.

Apr 16, 2008 Updated: Jul 15, 2008Bottle. Amber pour, surprisingly clear and with a minimal head. Nice lacing, though. Dried fruits (apricots and strawberries), banana, malt, burnt sugar on the nose. A little dried ginger. Sweet palate (banana pancakes!) with hot alcohol burn. Really not my favorite, but worked well for the quick buzz I was hoping for tonight. That’s sad if that’s all I can say about a quadrupel, particularly from Avery. A value for the price, but there are certainly better quads out there.
