Mar 20, 2009 Poured red-brown with thin white head. Very sweet on the nose and the palate. Dried fruit, mango, and caramelly sweetness. A bit of chocolate and molasses also are noticable.

Mar 17, 2009 Thick and rich across the board on the pour, nose, and palette. Great effort for an American Quad. My only complaint is that this is a little more cloying than the Belgians I’ve come to know and love. Still a very, very nice beer. My 2nd favorite of their Smokestack Series.

Mar 12, 2009 Bottle. The bottle popped with good carbonation. Poured into a glass and it was a dark brown with a nice, thick, large head. Aroma is sweet with a little fruit but not strong. Taste of fig, banana, toffee and chocolate.

Mar 11, 2009 Suprised to finf this at the grocery. Poured a dark amber color with a big whitish head. Could smell fruit and alcohol as I poured it. Tasted sweet at first, then I noticed some spice. Alcohol is noticeable but not overpowering. The other flavors seem to keep it in check. Very tasty beer. I found it best to drink slowly.

Mar 11, 2009 750 ml. bottle. Batch 58312. Pours a thick rapidly deflating head, mocha color. looks almost like a bread yeast starter, with some lacing, over a cloudy reddish amber body....nose of yeast, phenols, with many fruity tones including banana, dried cherry,....tastes of lingering sweetness with dried cherry, banana, fig amongst others, finishes with a bit of coffee, cocoa bitterness...mouthfeel is creamy but strangely light (probably alcohol). I’d like to do a blind tasting of this and some of Ommegang and Unibroues brews.
