| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 24, 2009 Bottled at FoBAB. Poured near black with a well-retained, creamy cap of tan head. The aroma picked up sweeter chocolates and candi sugar upfront with plenty of roast to it.. cherries came through toward the back with a candy-like impression. The flavor found roasty black malts at the core that threw me off (much more stout-like than quad-like).. darker fruits and aged caramel gave a better quad feel as it warmed up.. bourbon, vanilla, dark spice, and toasted oak on the warm finish. Medium-bodied and warm on the palate with OK balance and feel.. not a good example of the style, but it was enjoyable to drink. JohnnyJ (1352), Carlsbad, California, USA
