Dec 21, 2009 Tap at Barcade: Deep amber/bronze pour with a light tan film of head. Evident Belgian yeast strain in the aroma- some bubblegum esters and phenolics. A touch of sweet maple as well. Slick body with a sugary flavor. Sweet with bubblegum yeast phenolics and brown sugar maltose. A touch of drier Belgian toasted dark malts are there in the middle but it’s still one dimensional and sweet, IMO.

Dec 15, 2009 bottle, Poured dark amber in color with a small beige head with little lacing left on the glass. Aroma is malty, lightly sweet, dark fruits. Tastes of some light tobacco, dark fruits, lightly sweet plums. Finishes fairly dry, with a nice body. Not bad.

Dec 12, 2009 Poured a deep amber color with ruby highlights and a small off-white head. Spicy phenol aroma over a semi-sweet fruity malt. Touch of mint. The flavor is a mix of yeasty phenol spices, dark fruit, and tobacco leaf. Semi-sweet flavor but dries out some for the finish. Medium to full bodied.

Dec 6, 2009 Growler. Aroma of dark fruits, bread, light spices, caramel malt. Flavor malty but not too heavy with warming alcohol that is very much in place. Smooth and malty, not as overly sweet as most American quads. Nice stuff.

Dec 5, 2009 On tap. This was a nice surprise. Aroma was freshly yeast, very full of Christmas spirit, and juicy. Lots and lots of raisin and prune, mingled nicely with zesty yeast spice and good dose of nose-warming alcohol. Pours a paler murky red-brown, with plenty of foamy head. Flavor was very rich and enjoyable. Brown bread, dried black figs, cream, cracker and lots of browned sugars. Plummy for sure. Lighter than a typical quad, I thought, making it feel much more like a Belgian Strong Ale, as it didn’t have the ridiculous alcohol or sugar levels. Kind of nice, to still get the intense raisin and plum without a booze and syrup assault. The yeast character was tremendous, it was crisp, clean and well balanced. Pretty Things is really getting the Belgian-style right, which is nice to see in New England (sorry Allagash).

Dec 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a transparent nutty brown color with a small off white head. Nose is plums and dark fruit with a nuttiness and a light alcohol note. Palate is full and foamy with a filmy finish. Flavors of nuts and caramel, sweet bready malt notes and some dark fruit notes.
