Dec 4, 2006 Bottle which I got in beer swap 2.0 from Lumpy. Thanks . Pours out a dark brown to reddish color without much of a head at all. Smell is sweet, rasins, and bread. Taste is similar with a heavy sweetness mixed with alcohol that I did not care for too much. I passed out on the couch before I finished the glass, and when I woke up I had no intention of consuming what was left. Not that great really..

Nov 25, 2006 Updated: Jul 2, 2007Pours a clear copper amber with a thin, spotty-lacing off-white head. Sweet bready Belgian yeasty aroma has a touch of clove and honey along with a hint of brett. Body starts with some sweet caramel malt and light fruits, but a touch of soapy earthy bittering character toward the finish that might be a product of brett. A nice attempt and the yeast character seems fairly authentic, but I’d prefer a slightly sweeter doughy finish.

Nov 15, 2006 Got a bottle bootlegged back when my wife visited friends in Houston. Virtually no head. Great aroma. Full flavor, but a little sweet unless you’re in the mood for that. I was, so I enjoyed it.

Nov 14, 2006 Thanks to Degarth. Pours a deep hazy amber with no head. Does have the trademark Belgain aroma and flavor of sugary candied malts and spice. This one was pretty enjoyable. Thanks again Degarth.

Oct 28, 2006 Thanks for the bottle Fly. Deep rusted copper, thick tan creamy head. Boozey nose of candied orange peel, pear, and spicy brown sugar, with an underlying plum and raisin tone. Flavor was heated with alcohol, spicy with hop notes, candi sugar-like, with lasting sweet caramel tones. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, spicy, bittersweet finish. Rough around the edges, but will most definitely improve with cellar time...

Oct 26, 2006 12 oz bottle from LeopoldStoch. Twist off cap with a nice hiss. No aroma whatsoever. Pours an amber, almost brown color. No head at all. Looks like prune juice. No lacing. Taste is disgustingly sweet with some fairly mild hops and lots of spice and funk. Don’t know how else to explain it. Leaves an odd, unpleasant taste in the mouth. Not a very good beer.

Oct 23, 2006 Bottle from Lumpy.Muddy chestnut with small café au lait colored head. Fruity and a bit nutty in the nose with hints of bubblegum and bitter almonds. Sweet/bitter flavor with bready hints and a very bitter finish which gets a bit unpleasant and dandelion-like as you sip the beer. The alcohol is noticeable and very warming - almost hurtful. Viscous mouth feel and mellow carbonation. A rather odd Belgian style ale, but nonetheless quite enjoyable.

Oct 11, 2006 My first rating from Texas, thanks to bu11zeye. Pour is a pale, cloudy brown, with just a ring of white for a head. Aroma is sweet and sugary, though slight, with light notes of tangerine, almond, coconut. In the mouth it is boozy and sweet, bitter from hops, notes of caramel and melted milk chocolate. IMO this is way too sweet for a quad, and comes across as being much more like a barleywine. The bitterness from the hops is completely out of place, and there is no nice bready/biscuit kind of taste that I’ve come to expect from a good quad. I’ve got another bottle of this and will sit on it for probably a couple years and see how it develops.
