Bouteille 12oz, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur cuivrée foncée et claire. Nez fruité (pommes, léger de poires et de raisins), malté sucré (léger de sucre bonbon) moyennement boisé (fût de chêne), léger d’alcool. Moyenne-ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture crémeuse et aux notes sirupeuses. Goût fruité (moyen de pommes aux notes cidreuses, de raisins blancs aux notes vineuses et de cerises vieillies, traces de poires et de figues), moyen de vanille et avec des notes épicées (notes de cannelle et de clou de girofle) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté (léger de sucre blanc avec des notes de sucre bonbon et de caramel toffee) ainsi qu’un léger goût de pain. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve un moyen goût d’alcool réchauffant jusqu’en finale, où on note également la présence d’une légère aigreur fruitée (raisins et pommes) ainsi qu’un goût boisé (fût de chêne) légèrement asséchant. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyennement boisé (fût de chêne), légèrement amer d’alcool doux et avec une très légère aigreur fruitée fruitée (moût de raisins vineux et de cerises, pelures de pommes).

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle acquired in New Glarus during a Labor Day visit. Pours with a thin white head and nice copper color. Aroma initially of bourbon and cherry and musty. Flavor of caramel and bourbon with hints of vanilla. Definite tase of alcohol and there is somewhat of a weak finish initially but gets better when warmed up a bit. It would be nice to get another bottle to try this Quad in a year or two. Still a nice Quad from New Glarus.

Sep 30, 2008 Bottle acquired via trade with iowaherkeye...Joey thanks!!! This one definitely doesn’t live up to the real thing. Faint vanilla, oak, and cherries in the aroma...sweet and malty in the mouth. Just not very complex and a bit thin. Alcohol (11% ABV!!!) is still present...this one could benefit with some years behind it.

Sep 26, 2008 Bottle @ home. Orange brown color. Malt, cherry and a hint of flowers in the aroma. Full bodied. Sweet but oaky flavor, malty with dried cherries and mango. Slightly alcoholic. Flowery hops and dried fruit in the aftertaste. powerful and flavorful beer with some complexity.

Sep 25, 2008 Pours with a big head that goes away into nothingness, the beer is a clear deep amber color. There is a lot going on in the aroma here sweet malt aromas include raisins, and a bit of coco. This pairs well with a light oak aroma. The beer is delicious with dry and sweet fruit flavors of apple, prune, cherry, and raisin. There is a bit of oak in the flavor that mixes well with a subtle nuttiness and vanilla a flavors, this is very cordial like. I am surprised that there is brett in this, I don’t really taste that, but I’m keeping a few bottles around for a few years, we will see what develops.
