Commercial Description:
"Do you know what dwells in a glass?" asks Ole, in Hans Christian Andersen's The Watchman of the Tower. Better known for stories such as The Little Mermaid, Andersen wrote this short, cautionary tale for a somewhat older audience. Our quadrupel ale, also meant for the mature connoisseur, is a deep and mysterious libation, dark auburn and full-bodied, its sweetness deceptive. As Ole describes the glasses in turn, their contents become more ominous until, in the sixth glass...

Bottle. Opaque, light brown pour with medium head. Aroma of belgian yeast, sweet malt, brown sugar. Similar flavor with notes of dark fruit.

The bottle poured dark caramel color with no light penetration, and fluffy tan head. Settles with no lacing. Intense sweet aroma of brown sugar and banana with undertones of burnt hardwood. The flavor is sweet down the middle with spice in the cheeks, like cinnamon. Tart and full bodied, this beer almost needs a companion, like carrot cake. It’s delicious, but this is all about the sugars, no hops to finish, at least that I detect. It’s an elixir.

Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, tupalev & jerc -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Batch #67334. Pours a hazy orange-brown with an average size lasting frothy off-white head. Strong aroma of alcohol, spices, yeast, fruit and sugar. Flavour of sweet malt and fruit along with alcohol, yeast, sugar and caramel. Medium to full bodied, sticky mouthfeel. This is relatively well done, and I don’t mind it, but it’s not really my thing -- too boozy and sugary.

Bottle shared with Greg Clow, Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Jerc, courtesy of Jerc (I think?). Spicy soft malt aroma. Dark fiery brown, small to medium foamy white head. Great taste, surprisingly sweet - lots of caramel. Lots of alcohol, great foamy body, spicy finish. Very good!

In the bottle at the 2008 Crescent Moon Extreme Beerfest. The sweetness is what is overwhelming to me about this beer. In fact, it’s like a liquid bottle of tootsie roll pops. A bit too much for me, but very fun and unique.

Thanks for sharing Yaniv! Brown reddish with a thin light tan head. Big date filled dark fruit maltiness. Alcohol. A bit full and fruity. A bit like a very heavy Westy 12. Average carbonation, with a slight viscosity. A bit creamy. Alcohol over dark fruit. Dates. A lingering alcohol astringency. Heat. Reminds me a bit of Westy in the flavor too, but much much heavier.

(bottle thanks Badgerben) Pours dark brown with an off-white head that lasts. Aroma of raisin, dark fruit, yeast, vanilla, and spices. Taste is nothing spectacular, but it’s solid, with some raisin, brown sugar, and bready yeast. The finish is rather yeasty, and the alcohol makes its presence known on the finish as this warms, but it’s a solid quad.
