Mar 9, 2009 This was my last beer at the Gene Simmons Throwdown and I can barely remember it. On top of that, my notes suck. Thanks to whomever brought it. This was solid, with light bourbon and oak and a lot of dark fruit action. I think I would have enojyed a little more bourbon character.

Mar 8, 2009 750 ml bottle shared by ???. Pours a hazy dark amber/brown color with a medium dark tan head. The aroma was dark fruit (raisin, cherries), oak, light bourbon, and yeast. Strong enough to pick out aromas, but not a big nose at all. The flavor is a well balanced mix of cherry, malty, brown sugar, oak, and light bourbon. The bourbon does not dominate this, but adds to the experience. Medium bodied, a bit thinner than expected.

Mar 2, 2009 Bottle shared with Tom at McNellies OKC. Pours dark brown with a fluffy head. Nose is tart with a hint of cherries. Where’s the bourbon? Taste is light cherry, malty but no hint of bourbon/barrel aging. Effervescent body/very carbonated. Body is a bit light for a quad. I’d like to compare the base to this beer. Overall very drinkable with the alcohol well hidden. Not world shattering but a good, decent brew.

Mar 2, 2009 Courtesy of kiefdog. Pours clear copper with tall bubbly tan head. The mild aroma is bourbon and a sense of wood and vanilla and little else. The taste starts sweet with a hit of dark fruity esters quickly moving into bourbon, vanilla and wood. It smooths out midway and gets a bit boozy in the finish. Very mild quad notes overall. I think it would be more interesting with more balance between the base beer and the barrel notes.

Mar 2, 2009 Bottle shared at local BA tasting.
Poured a cloudy brown color with a large frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy dark fruit, brown sugar and wood aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and fizzy carbonation. Heavy woody bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.
Standout complex brew.

Mar 2, 2009 Bottle in a trade. Pours a dark brown body with a tan head. Nice Belgian style flavors of dark fruits, brown sugar, and some dusty fruit. Bourbon and vanilla with a big etoh burn. Eh liked the base better.

Mar 1, 2009 Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours a dark brown-red with an off-white head. Nose is alcohol, cherry, dark fruit, candy sugar, some apple, and depth. Flavor is sugar, plum, raisin, brown sugar, alcohol burn, and some vanilla/ oaky notes. Not as heavy as some Belgian quads that I am used to, but still very enjoyable.

Mar 1, 2009 Pours cloudy caramel color with off white head. Sweet caramel aroma and flavor. There is lots of bourbon in the taste with some vanilla and dark fruits. Medium body with slightly above average carbonation. A very good beer.
