Apr 30, 2008 The color was dark red/black. The head was very thin, fizzy, and off-white. The aroma was molasses, chocolate, vanilla, and malty. The flavor was spice, alcohol, malt, chocolate, and vanilla. The palate was full-bodied. The finish was warm.

Apr 29, 2008 Bottle. A dark brown color (still a bit translucent) with a brown head. A rich chocolate malty flavor with raisins and dark fruit. Tasty and rich with a nice smooth finish that hides the alcohol well.

Apr 29, 2008 Can’t taste the alcohol, but definitely can "feel" it!!! Maybe I’m becoming a "light weight" (and if you believe that you obviously haven’t seen me). Dark hazy ruby/amethyst color with a nice tight latte head. The carbonation leaves significant lacing on the glass. Spicy, dark fruit, and candied sugar nose. Flavor is buttermilk biscuit, honey, and Rainier cherry skin. Starts out nice and sweet...ends with tart. A very good beer!!!

Apr 29, 2008 Appearance: Pours a lightly hazed, dark mahogany-hued body with, well, actually there’s practically no head. Moving on!
Smell: Aroma of stewed plums and prunes in a simple syrup reduction topped with brown sugar and a hint of chocolate.
Taste: Slightly bready maltiness with a taste of sugary dark fruitiness and a pop of acidity on the tongue. Brown sugar and some warming alcohol follow. Just the faintest taste of chocolate. Drying, fruity finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Mild carbonation.
Drinkability: A good, well-crafted quad from Lost Abbey. I certainly had no trouble emptying my glass.

Apr 29, 2008 Poured a purpel brown color with almost no head. Aroma was of dark fruits and raisins, some spices, and alcohol. Flavor is very smooth dark fruits and ncie spices to even out the sweetness. Very Good.

Apr 25, 2008 I hope this was a bad bottle. Poured absolutely flat, no head at all. Dark purple and lifeless. The aroma was sweet, a little yeasty and dark fruit. Flavor was also very sweet, without the carbonation, it was overpowering. You could still tell the body was full and this should have been a great beer. I hope the next time I give it a go, they fix that issue.

Apr 25, 2008 Dark walnut color with tan head that lingers for a bit. Nose of charred wood, dark pitted fruits, and raisins. Flavor is sweet dark fruits, brown sugar, raisins...and as it warms a touch of milk chocolate. Finish is rich and filling...and a touch hot. Very enjoyable Quad.

Apr 23, 2008 After several years of lurking, i was drinking this when i finally decided to submit a rating. A gorgeous beer to look at dark, but clear, with a nice head and great lacing. The taste is complex and sweet with rasins and ripe fruits dancing on the tounge. Its very good but short of the best i have had.
