Sep 8, 2009 12oz bottle from Lukas Liquor. Pours murky brown with small off-white tannish head. Aroma is caramel, chocolate, spices, dark fruit and some yeast. Flavor is dark malts, dark fruits, cinnamon, chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, and some nuts with a little yeast. Pretty smooth little sipper. Not overdone with yeast. Fine carbonation and pretty good mouthfeel. Rich and complex brew. Really enjoyed this one.

Sep 6, 2009 Pours a muddy reddish brown color with some fine sediment and a big fluffy tan head. Decent retention, not quite up to the Belgian standard. The aroma really shoots out of the glass, with rummy raisin at the fore and some accents of cinnamon, chocolate chip cookie, slight licorice, and a hint of peppery alcohol. Flavor is a bit of a letdown after the excellent aroma. It’s just not quite as robust and well-rounded. Bready and yeasty without much sweetness, licorice and spicy alcohol in the finish. A little hot but not bad. The alcohol does sort of thin out the body a bit. Carbonation is pleasant, drinkability is decent. Good for a non-Belgian quad, but not even close to the authentic classics.

Sep 5, 2009 Hazy dark amber with a light tan head. Sourish, earthy pit fruit and spice aromas. Medium body. Sharp spicy yeasty pit fruit and caramel flavors. The alcohol gets in the way a bit here.
