| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 9, 2007 12 oz bottle. Clear ruby brown with a ring and a patch of white bubbles. Just cool, this is giving off wonderful waves of cherry, bourbon caramel, Belgian yeast and orange peel. Medium body with a light carb tingle. Taste is vanilla caramel orange, some raisin and malt; followed up with a shot of bourbon. Finish is dry with green berries. Alcohol and aftertaste keep this from being great. beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Bottle at Chris_O’s HogTownHarry minifest. Thanks to Chris. Amber colour with a darkish off white head. Sour aroma with malt and plenty off alcohol. Flavour is tangy and very sweet with some medicinal notes. Close to great but not quite there. I’m sure with a bit of age this would mellow and be much better. piscator34 (1131), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 22, 2007 Bottled sample shared with oakbluff. Light amber in colour with moderate (although fairly spritzy) carbonation. The beer was a bit too cold when we opened it, and the initial aroma was a bit "wet dog" like. However,as it warmed, everything started falling into place, with notes of light caramel, wood, cherry pits, vanilla, and a bit of funk. More caramel malts and wood in the mouth, along with a bit of spice, booze, and dried fruit. Definitely lighter bodied than any quad I’ve had, but the interest and drinkability provided by the wild yeast more than makes up for it. Very unique. Be sure to let it warm up a bit before you smell or drink it! nhorween (640), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 20, 2007 Malty and almost tangy aroma. Much more yeasty and tart and less malty than I expected. Different from most quads that I’ve had, but interesting. I’d like to have it again alone so that I could really spend some time with it. decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 19, 2007 An aroma of fruitiness. A dark amber pour with almost no head. A flavor of dried fruit and sweet maltiness with a very warm finish. Slightly agressive carbonation but the palate is solid. A bit sweet but overall a good offering.
