| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 29, 2008 deep ruby read color with big, bubbled head. nose of caramel, (sour) cherries and sweetness. from that i was surprised by such a robust flavor. Not too heavy on the tongue with some sweet malt and dry-bittering... dark fruits (grapes and fig). Reminds me a lot of a less refined abt 12. Quite nice. Rciesla (3880), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 28, 2008 Bottle and on draft some time ago at mile squared. Bottle pours a dark brown body with a white head 3 fingers high. Dark fruity plum, and apple skins. Nice warming from the alcohol, light hoppiness a bit of citrus. candy sugar and clove to spice it. taalhiker (179), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 27, 2008 From bomber. Pours re-brown with very little white head. Aromas of yeast and dark fruits. Bottle may be off - flavors seem muted and possibly tainted. Not as good as previous GD’s. Will try again in the near future.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 27, 2008 Dark reddish black pour with no head. Nose is booze and belgian candi sugar, Some dark tree fruit, and apples, and a bit of cheese studded with nuts. Taste is the same and the apply taste is huge on the back end. I really like this. Refers to itself as a triple but listed as a quad. I like this confusion. Nice thick mouthfeel that is warming but goes down in a delicious fashion. EHopper (348), Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 26, 2008 Color and look of dark rootbeer. If fruit cake were to become beer, this might be what it would taste like. Figs and dates, nuts and sweet cherries, brandy and other unnamed flavors. While there is an alcohol warmth, I can’t say that I really taste it, well hidden. Even a hint of bitter at the end. Nice. MuttyD (93), Cambridge, USA
