Sep 27, 2009 750 mL bottle shared at Logan’s pre-GABF party. Dark brown, to black, pour. Aromas of mostly coffee, smoke, and burnt chocolate. Great dark fruit and chocolatety flavor. Some alcohol is detected. Until I looked this beer up I had no idea this was a Quad; certainly unlike any other I have tried. This was quite good.

Sep 26, 2009 Bottle.
Orange-brown pour, nice head. Fruity, phenolic aroma; pleasantensemble of dried fruits in the flavor, with a nice closing dryness. But the beer is really hot, and it could be more complex -- and thus while solid as an American quad, it falls sort of posing a threat to the better Belgian examples of the style.

Sep 20, 2009 Rating #1100. 750ml bottle. Thick cherry red-brown color. Steady, thick beige head. Oh my, this one is nice. Lots of lively fruity esters, from grape to plum to prune. The body is smoother and creamier than your typical Quad, never thick and lingering. Sweet sugary malt is thick and the whole thing coats the palate in it’s essence. A great beer.

Sep 19, 2009 This beverage fills the glass 4/5ths of the way with burn caramel foam atop an amber body. Breathy smells of peppery clove and pink peppercorn, zestful yeast, and a salted smokey caramel essence round out the alluring bouquet, whic opens into flavors breadingess and yeastiness with peripherals of peach and phenols that are more muted. Airy clove cigarette smoke is well integrated throughout. Punchy finish. A huge brew that is fairly well harnessed. Fruity and estery yeast.

Sep 12, 2009 Updated: Oct 3, 2009malty/alcohol aroma on the nose. golden brown pour and an off white head that just barely manages to hang on. delightful sweetness on the palate, and not too strong of an alcohol taste on the palate. great smooth mouthfeel.

Sep 11, 2009 Pours like a quad...lots of fizzy foam and diminishes in a few minutes; cloudy brown with red tones. Strong aroma of sweet malt, caramel, some banana and alcohol. Taste is burnt sugar, caramel, toffee and alcohol. Tastes like a poor man’s Gulden Draak; not as well rounded and a little sharper than the Draak. Alcohol isn’t hidden very well, this may be better w/ some aging. Ok quad, but not great.

Aug 30, 2009 Pours a dark mahoganey with large, bubbly tan head. Fairly subtle aroma of dark cherries/fruit and honey. Flavor is very tasty with carmel, dark fruit, brown sugar and apple with a bit more booze than I expected even with the high abv. I think this one would definitely benefit from some time in the cellar. Nice quad.
