| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 22, 2009 Bottle. Sweet cherry/apple juice and toffee malt aroma. Cloudy amber color with minimal head.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 22, 2009 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.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 23, 2009 750 from goethe. Nose is pleasant raisins and sugary yeast. HInts of booziness. Flavor is more of the yeasty raisin intiially, a little molasses and plums later on. FInish is pretty hot when cold. As it warms, everything mellows out a little bit. Good, not super-complex. Dangerously drinkable for the style (and for my head). Fratto (760), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 21, 2009 Hazy red pour with lots of yeasty sediment. Very boozy smell. Ripened fruit nose. Taste is alcohol, plastic, ripe fruit, with some spice. Old raisin taste also. Aftertaste has a feeling of band-aid but without the flavor. Improves greatly as it warms.
