Sep 27, 2004 Bottle 2002: The ruby hue is topped with a fizzy but lasting head which produced good lace. The aroma is sweet and spicey ripe fruit with malty notes. Phenols and a dusty ester are also noticeable on the nose. The taste starts with a biting spice and sweet plum-like fruit which led to a woody and yeasty finish. The dark candy overtone is appearant throughout. The feel is silky and lush, but then a biting alcohol attack comes in for a hit and run. Not that overpowering but you know the beer isn’t weak. Good but a long way from the better Belgian Quads.

Dec 31, 2007 Sampled at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN from a 22-oz bomber. Pours a semi-hazy cola brown brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and white ring. Aroma of dark fruity caramel malt, some raisins, figs, dark pitted fruit and a touch of yeast. Taste is smooth, creamy, medium bodied, with some carbonation and flavors of dark roasted malt, Belgian yeast, candi sugar, and a touch of raisins. Finish is slightly metallic from the high alcohol with a dark fruit and yeast aftertaste. This is one decent winter warmer.

Mar 14, 2005 Pours a clear copper with an oily body and small off white head. Aroma was sweet with caramel, dark fruit, and spice. Sweet and spicy flavor matches the aroma. Medium body but thin on the flavor. Alcohol is picked up in both flavor and warming sensation.

Oct 13, 2006 Bomber. Poured translucent copper with almost nothing going on for head. The nose picked up peppery alcohol, burnt caramel, rum-soaked raisins, and molasses... medium intensity. Flavor picked up too much of the booze factor, with peppery rum and dark fruit sweetness almost becoming cloying... bit of brown sugar and molasses, too... too sweet. Medium-bodied, but heavy on the spicage and sweetness.. made it hard to finish the bomber. OK.. but not one I’ll seek out again.

Jun 11, 2005 not so complex. Very much sweetness of various malts, underlying spiciness. Orange cream, Cherry ice cream, yeastiness, clove, Full mouthfeel and drinkable, but with courses of a dinner to offset sweet

May 23, 2006 Bottle (650ml). Shared with blankboy, tupalev and Dave B - blankboy’s bottle. Clear copper with a smallish white creamy head. Aroma of rosehips, sweet malt, sweet citrus, yeast, oleander and, oddly, as it warms, red licorice - subtle, nice. Taste is salty yet sweet, again crushed rose petals, clementines, light perfumy hops, sweet and mildly spiced, soft and sweet, whispers in your ear and nibbles on your ... nice, but I don’t think quad. Average body - sweet, sticky, cloying mouthfeel, that rose and sweet citrus gets a little annoying after awhile. Really well done, but less sweet please; at least the booze wasn’t that prominent.

May 22, 2004 Lighter, slightly fruity and yeasty notes some alcohol in background. Bright, orange amber, white head. Pleasurable to sip, decent spectrum of flavours, sugars, malt based. Sweet but not over board.
