Sep 30, 2009 22 oz. bottle - thanks frank!! pours orange brown that is clear against the light; off white head; musky aromas of figs, yeasty spice, raisins and malty goodness; quite dry and mildly rich in an quad-like way; figs, raisins, candy syrup and other dark fruit; perhaps a little too sweet for me as the all flavors don’t quite come together; lots going on, just a little messy

Bottle: The aroma consists plum, raisin, faint chocolate, and candi sugar. It pours a hazy, bordering on cloudy, dark reddish-brown with a moderate off-white head that leaves behind nice lacing. The flavor starts with moderate sweet plum, Belgian yeast, and some faint chocolate in the background. The finish has some raisin and faint spiciness. Medium bodied with lively, but soft, carbonation.

Sep 24, 2009 bottle thanks to brewboone. Pours a dark brown with a lovely tan head. Nose is of raisins. Taste is of strong raisin and meat. A little burnt. Mouthfeel is creamy. This reminded me some of their gruit brew.

Sep 15, 2009 Bottle: Deep rusty bronze light tan film. Sweet dark fruit aroma- some fig, raisin and light vanilla- standard Quad style aroma. Fluffy light feel- sweet flavor with honey, fig, raisin and soft vanilla. A touch of dark Belgian malts on the back. Sweet, but fluffy and well attenuated. Typical Quad profile, nothing standout.

Sep 11, 2009 Clear ruby red color with a lasting tan head. Earthy, yeasty aromas of figs, dates, watermelon with sweet spices. Rich, frothy mouthfeel. Very good malty sweet pit fruit flavors with earthy yeast, spices, and seedy wood grain. With six months in the bottle this one is aging nicely. Great job Kourtney, Wherever you are now !!

Sep 5, 2009 Appearance: Pours out a clear, garnet-hued body with a head comprised of a lasting layer of off-white foam.
Smell: Sweetish, fruity aroma studded with notes of oven-toasted bread, piquant spices, cooked sugars, fresh-ground cinnamon, dried fruits, and some nose-tingling alcohol.
Taste: Descent begins malty and fairly sweet on the tongue with tastes of golden syrup-coated bread crusts and brown sugar. Fruity flavors of golden raisins and red currants. The generously added Grains of Paradise along with the Belgian yeast yield some spicy peppery tones, but I’m also picked up some licorice powder and a rather strong, robust cinnamon character. Very mild hop bitterness. Plenty of long-lasting residual sweetness in this one, even all the way to the warming, earthy, spicy finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-high carbonation.
Drinkability: Worth a try. The enduring sweetness hampers the long-term drinkability, but the carbonation thankfully keeps things moving and prevents it from becoming too cloying.

Sep 3, 2009 Bottle from Hannont, thanks man. Clovey, yeasty aroma, lots of raisin, grains, very herbal, juniper. Big, spritzy, rather sweet/cloying flavor, kind of unbearable. Very underattenuated. Can’t enjoy this much at all, which is a shame, as MS does so many incredible beers.
