Smuttynose Gravitation

Dark brown pour. Sweet sugary smell. Boozy taste. Knew this one would be for the wife and the rating is all her’s.......sigh....just not into this style.

Dark amber color with a small head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, yeast and spice with some faint dark fruit. Flavor is sweet and balanced and very drinkable. Enjoyable the whole way through. Some spice and sweet malts with some dark fruit, plum and fig notes.

Bomber bottle from Knightly Spirits. Pours an impressive dark red-brown with a thick tan head. Aroma is caramel and toffee...nice, but not too strong. Flavor is delicious; toffee, caramel, and tootsie roll. Thick, smooth, and warms the palate. Overall, this beer is delicious...the best Quad ive had...also noteworthy that about 5 other guys tried it...none of which are experienced craft beer drinkers...and all of them were begging for another sip...always a good sign.

22 oz bottle. Pours a mostly clear dark amber body with a frothy light brown head that retained well due to the carbonation. The nose is heavy dark fruits like fig and raisin with some caramel and brown sugar sweetness below. Light alcohol noticeable. Quite sweet, but also dense with the dark fruits and maltiness. There’s a nice yeast profile to this also. Brown sugar, caramel, light alcohol, and maybe even a bit of chocolate on the finish. Full and thick on the palate with soft gentle carbonation. This is as good as I was expecting, well done, but almost a completely different style from the classic Belgian Quads.
