Apr 20, 2009 Tasted 4/20/09. 330ml bottle. Activated pour is of a sedimented body and a dark brown hue. Finger width of beige head. Quality Belgian nose. Complex and intense. Toffee, blueberries and citrus. Strawberries and a faint trace of mint. Plums and red grapes. The aromas are very inviting. Full bodied and sweet. Once again, nice complexity with a tight focus on the fruit and berry nuances. Initial bready malt. Long and lingering palate. After the initial, it goes toward a grape and plum note. Then the dried raisins and touch grapefruit. The abv is apparent but not totally overwhelming. Good roll and solid style!

Apr 13, 2009 Bottle. Poured a large, frothy, off-white head with a clear, ruby colored body. Heavy malt aroma of caramel, toffee, spice and light alcohol. Grape, peach and cherry all come through in the flavor - very fruity malt flavors. Well-hidden alcohol - I would have guessed 7% or so from the palate, but the warm feeling in my throat and stomach confirms the 10.5%. Medium body with a very slight alcoholic texture and average carbonation. Overall a really drinkable and warming beer. It didn’t blow me away, but was very enjoyable.

Apr 13, 2009 Not a huge fan. One dimensional. figgy, plummy, sweet, uber malt. No texture, just slippery sweet. I remember enjoying this much more last time I tried it.

Apr 8, 2009 Dark yellow pour, very opaque. Light head. Sweet aroma, of Sweet Tarts. Very interesting and inventive. Light feel over the palate with a tingling sensation. Sweet flavors greet the drinker. No alcohol is tasted but is certainly felt. The sweet notes continue to linger after the finish. Wow this was a very good quad. Not over the top like some tend to drift towards, but this was solid through and through.

Apr 4, 2009 Dark brown, low carbonation very "bready", a sweet maltiness reminescent of a belhaven wee heavy. Also notes of banana , caramel and plum. Alcohol is amazingly well hidden.
a very nice brew if you are inthe mood for a slightly sweet beer.
