Jan 23, 2009 Dark brown colored with hazy appearance. Little brown head. Strongly sweet aroma with dominating licorice, pineapple and raisins, vinous touch and milk chocolate here too. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is not as sweet with licorice here still, mild raisins also with hopped touch. Aftertaste dries nicely with raisins and mild alcohol still. Excellent brew.

Jan 22, 2009 Bottle 75 cl. Average creamy off-white head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Mahogany color. Prunes, dates, yeast, malty notes, vinous, port wine. Full bodied with an average carbonation and thick texture. Heavy sweet flavor with a hint of bitterness as counter flavor. Lingering sweet prunes and warming alcoholic finish. Lovely Quard I must say.

Jan 20, 2009 (Bottled) Clear, dark reddish brown with a small, tanned head. Huge dried fruitiness with plums and raisins, plus also some fresh fruitiness. Sweet, very malty flavor with again huge dark and fresh fruitiness, and some Weizen-Eisbock -like warming banana. Quite full-bodied with high viscosity and low carbonation. Still easy to drink, and not extreme in anything but its full fruitiness. A beautiful Quadrupel in the US "more of everything" -style. 689926005056

Jan 19, 2009 Rich and complex aroma offers notes of plums, raisins, marzipan, bubblegum. Opaque brown body is topped by a low, fine bubbled, tan head that recedes rapidly to a partial cover. Flavour is sweet up front with plenty of vinous fruits and some dark malt bitterness, but alcohol is very apparent. Thick and chewy in texture with somewhat low carbonation and moderate warming. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle picked up last summer in California. Jul-08.

Jan 19, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours a dark muddy brown with a small, quickly dissipating tan head. Aroma is loads of dark fruit, plums, prunes and raisins. Some spices and molasses are there too. Flavor is sweet, mostly raisins, some chocolate and a little too much alcohol. Black cherries and figs. Palate is thick, carbonation is light. Really a great beer, but it loses a couple flavor points because of the alcohol. A bit of cellaring would do it good.

Jan 16, 2009 Bottle. Blackish/brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is mildly malty, and the flavour is whisky, deeply malty molasses and bitter at the finish. Overall a nice strong beer.

Jan 15, 2009 Bottle from Sam’s in Downers Grove, IL. This pours a deep brown body with orange/red highlights and a diminutive head of bubbles that vanishes rapidly. The aroma is dark dried fruit, burnt brown sugar, alcohol, and brown spices. The flavor is mainly dark plums, raisins, and alcohol. It finishes on a sweet & fruity note with a low alcohol burn. Okay, but I was expecting a whole lot more.

Jan 15, 2009 750 ml bottle. Dark brown pour with a thick, light tan head. Good amount of lacing. Aroma of raisins, plums, cinnamon. Sticky, sweet mouthfeel. Candi sugar, dark fruits, chocolate, and some toffee in the flavor. Dry, bready finish. Not my favorite style, but a really good beer.
