Just ran out of the draft when I got to the Tap Room. Rats! So this is from the limited series 25.4 oz bottle. Pours a bright medium amber with a minimal pale tan head that sticks to the surface. Has a real smoky vinous and licorice aroma. Flavor is almost overpowering. Almost tongue-numbing, flavors of licorice, maple, dark fruit, sweet roasted malt and brandy. Alcohol really evident after the swallow. Really good - - in small doses!

Nov 13, 2009 Bottle… Pours clear and dirty orange with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Fantastic retention. The aroma is a multitude of dark fruits; standouts being dates and raisins. Full-bodied and silky with tingly carbonation. The flavor parallels the aroma; sweet and chock full of dark fruits – dates, raisins, alcohol and a suggestion of fig. Well-balanced, warming finish.

750 bottle served in a Chimay chalice. Bottle conditioned. Opens with a big pop. Pours a clear amber tinted gold. Lots of carbonation, but only a finger of off white head. Slightly spice aroma from yeast. A bit of sugar and a little alcohol in the aroma. Full bodied and smooth. First sip seems pretty sweet, but that goes away pretty quickly, and the beer settles down. Nice and malty with some more spice in the finish. Dangerously drinkable at 12%. Alcohol is well hidden. Nothing spectacular, but a good evening’s drinking.

Oct 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber brune body with some copper highlights and an off white frosty head. Huge warming etoh latent fruit, salty fruit, applejack with some spicy yeast character. Huge beer and fun to drink. Nice.

Sep 27, 2009 Tasted 9/19/09 at the Black Clover Beerfest.
Red-amber liquid, off-white lacy head. Sweetness in taste and aroma with figs and alcohol. 12% is tough to hide, and it’s quite apparent, especially served outdoors in moderate heat. Yeasty, doughy flavor pulls back the sweetness some, but doesn’t quite manage to balance things out.

9/09/2009: Schlafly Quadrupel Ale... Aroma: Fruity (pear, hints of raspberry), yeasty, and some date sweetness. Appearance: Deep honey color, quickly fading light caramel-colored head. Flavor: Malty, caramelized sugars, yeasty. Palate: Medium to medium-full, slightly creamy and chewy. Overall: Good, sweet, a bit boozy, nothing unique or memorable though.
