| 4.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Nov 23, 2009 Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark red-chestnut color with a large foamy orange-beige head. The aroma had a whole lot going on, starting sweet and nutty and possessing notes of ripe cherries, port, wood, and cocoa. The flavor was equally complex with a tart and tangy base with solid notes of black cherry, molasses, sugar, wood, port wine, pineapple and cocoa. Amazingly complex. The finish was long nutty cherry and cocoa. Full bodied. Amazing. Fred82 (383), Montreal, Quebec, Canada

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 14, 2009 Bomber courtesy of maniac. Pours a semi hazy burgandy with large cola head. A weird potpourri nose, like lavender, or rose petals. Flavor is fruity and floral, like rum-raisin or fruitcake. Extremely sweet brown sugary syrupy body. Not a bad beer, but just WAY too sweet. Not really finding the belgian yeast on this one. don’t know what to think of this one. beernovice39 (256), South Carolina, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 4, 2009 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.
