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...

Had this beer many times as it is great! I like to call it a poor man’s St B 12. Has a very similar flavor profile, but not quite the sweetness. Lots of flavor, combined with a great body, and just the right amount of sweetness. I can’t think of a bad experience with this beer, as it produces time and time again.

Gold with a white head. Taste of dark fruits - prunes and raisins. It seemed a little sweet.

Not bad, but really boozy. Poured with a nice sized, foamy frothy, off white head and lots of lace. Color is rich walnut. Aroma is toffee, malty, and bananas. Flavor is malty sweet, with a little residual bitterness. body is very good, ditto carbonation. feel the alcohol at the end.

Bottle. Sweet cherry/apple juice and toffee malt aroma. Cloudy amber color with minimal head. Sweet apple, raisin and barley malt flavor. Acidic with moderate carbonation. Very nice taste.

Bottle:   Heavy caramel, slight ruby, large frothy light beige head, spotty lacing.   Alcohol dominates, pale dark pitted fruit, some biscuit, even a little musty barnish aspect.   Seems like a cross between a Quad and a Triple.   Very warming, note as alcoholic as I would have thought.   Not all that Quad like.   More of a Belgian Strong, dark pitted fruit is there but subtle.   Gives away to a very malty alcoholic flavor.   Seems a little bready.   Yeah, half Tripel half Quad.   Really, its just missing the heaviness on the fruit side for a quad.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate to full.   Mild spiciness to finish.   Really, not much of a Quad.   Enjoyable, but a little off the mark.   Wouldn’t hesitate to have again, just hard to classify this one.   Quad meets Tripel I suppose.

Aroma is potent and a little intimidating, also slightly sour. Color is dark and milky, head is big and tan. Palate is smooth and very full, coating my tongue, tips and teeth. Flavor is alcohol, roasted, sweet, peppery (no real sourness). Very enjoyable.
