SoLan (1367), Orlando, Florida, USA Oct 29, 2009 Courtesy Ty. Vinous tart notes from the cherries, a bit tannic. Age has really brought out the cherries. Nice strong, barrel aged Belgian. Medium/full body, well carbonated. Solid. Teege (71), Orlando, Florida, USA Oct 29, 2009 750 ml thanks to Solan. Pours a kind of thin but vibrant amber. Hint of bourbon in the nose but that’s competing with a lot of wet dog and burnt hair. Some people say molasses; I say wet dog. Hey, it’s a free country. They flavor is whatever. I don’t get much bourbon in it at all. Just a lot of dark malts and stuff. Not a big fan, but I’ve never claimed to be a big fan of the quads. redlight (1444), Winter Park, Florida, USA Oct 29, 2009 thanks to Solan for sharing this one! Malty sweetness with some toffee and cherries on the nose. Pours a reddish amber with a thin white head. Caramelly malty sweetness with hints of cherries, hints of candied cherries, with some toffee notes in the flavor. kramer (2406), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 29, 2009 25 oz bottle. Pours a clear ruby brown body with a great frothy and foamy off-white head that lasted forever, leaving tons of lacing. Beautiful looking beer. he nose is lighter than expected, light caramel, and dark fruits mostly with very little bourbon. Some sweet notes like candi or brown sugar and a light woodiness as well. The flavor is rather sweet but pretty smooth up front, the bourbon doesn’t really hit till late in the finish. Lots of candied dark fruits and candi sugar, with fairly restrained alcohol taste. Very short finish for how big and thick this is. Fairly thick but not overly sticky or cloying. Moderate fizzy carbonation. A little warming on the finish. Pretty decent, but I couldn’t get overly excited about it. SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Oct 15, 2009 750 ml bottle - pours clear, light brown with thin off-white head; bourbon, red wine, musky, vanilla, dark fruit and oak; thin bodied and almost syrupy; very sweet and boozy; enjoyable, but nearly as much as the base beer; overly sweet blaheath (16), Missouri, USA Oct 3, 2009 Updated: Oct 5, 2009Burnt amber in color with a 1/4" head. Aroma is dominated by oak, followed by cherries, vanilla and bourbon.
