doubleo (761), San Diego, California, USA Apr 1, 2008 750ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a thin, fizzy light brown head, fades quick no lace. Smells like extra raisiny raisin bread, sweet fruits and spices. Tastes much the same way, dark sweet fruits and dark spicy bready yeastiness. Ehh, raisin beer not so much. A touch syrupy with crisp carbonation.
ahalloin (46), Arlington, Virginia, USA Sep 5, 2008 Great artwork and story on the bottle. This beer pours a dark molasses color with little to no light penetrating. It isn’t quite black but almost. Not much head formed from a rather aggressive pour, and what did form dissipated quickly except for a bit of lacing circling the glass that stayed throughout. Aroma is popping out of the glass with hints of dark raisins, molasses, brown sugar, and a tad bit of spice. The flavor is very similar dominated by dark fermented fruits (plums, raisins, etc.) with sweet dark chocolate and cocoa in the finish. Outstanding flavor beer! BigMilly8 (361), Holiday, Florida, USA Sep 5, 2008 From bottle : Pours a very dark color with some slight ruby tones if you get the light shining through it just right. Not much head, but pretty nice lacing. The nose is pretty good, but not as complex as some other really nice quads. Dark fruits, raisins, figs and plums are the most dominant. Taste is really nice and smooth, with dark fruits and raisins, with some roasted malts. Not much of an aftertaste. Very nice and smooth texture, and a just right body. Pretty freakin nice Quad if ya ask me. kappldav123 (996), Markkleeberg, Germany Sep 4, 2008 The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Very dark, almost black. Velvet aroma, modest alcoholic. Tastes strong and malty, a little bit prickly, soft-velvet finish, notes of cinnamon. Very drinkable for its strenght. Great beer!
