Apr 12, 2009 Bomber poured a clear dark reddish brown with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of raisin, plum, date, pepper, carmel and light spice. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, molasses, raisin, date and light spice with a smooth dry malty finish.

Apr 11, 2009 22oz from Chevy Chase Wine, D.C. Nice garnet pour, slightly dusky brown at the edges. Decent 1-finger head, which quickly dissipates but leaves some moderate lacing. Sticky malts and raisins dominate the nose. The body is a bit too thin and slick. Figs and currant blend with the caramel, mild smoke in the finish. Pretty nice warming beer, but perhaps a bit too one-dimensional.

Apr 11, 2009 Mahogany with a nice tan head. Too many off tastes to be a great quad. A bit too sweet. But the more I sip it and compare it in my mind to other quads, the more I like it.

Apr 11, 2009 VERY NICE BEER it is an inventive and demonstrative brew indeed. a honey, vanilla, caramel, i dunno just a genuine sweetness with appropriate but low volume of spice that i appreciate combined with a great malt flavor that has a raisin, prune and plum fruit character and full chewy and slick mouthfeel that a Belgian could be envious of. this brew could turn people on to the style. a nice looking brown elixer with interesting highlights and a nice light brown cap. best abt/q i ever had!

Apr 11, 2009 22 oz Bomber-Someone bonused me this beer in a trade, but I can’t recall who!-Deep mahogany color w/a slight tan head & good lacing. Sweet Belgian aroma. Big brew, flavors of dark fruit. candied sugar, toffee, raisins, & roasted malt. Had a lot of carbonation; alcohol was quite evident, but not in a bad way. Definite after dinner sipper, would go well sitting around the fire w/a fine cigar! Long sweet finish

Apr 10, 2009 Bottle. Dark red colored pour with a tan head that goes away pretty quick. Smell is sweet, fruity with some cherries perhaps, sugar, some malt, yeast. Taste is sweet and fruity , no alcohol detected, lively body with CO2. Pleasing to drink, very good fresh, no need to age this one. I am always partial to Smutty, and this is no exception. I may pick up some more of these, nice stuff.

Apr 9, 2009 Tap at Blind Tiger. Poured deep mahogany with a yeasty cherry nose. This had some decent depth to the flavors and is a pretty good take on the style. I tasted Cherry flavor may have been a bit overpowering, but I guess it was more raisin than cherry. The alcohol is blended nicely, but with too much sweetness, could see this possibly being a bit cloying. Would like to age one and re-rate.
