Apr 15, 2007 2007 750 ml bottle. Pours a reddish-orange brown color with a medium white beige frosty head. Sweet aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon, figs, candied sugar and malts. Taste is spicy sweet with nutmeg, figs and cinnamon standing out. Toffee, brown sugar, nuts and yeast round off the rest of the flavor. A bit too sweet for my tastes, but still very good.

Feb 25, 2007 2006 vintage from puzzl. Plummy, hazy red-brown body, medium off-white head. Aroma of toffee, brown sugar, and sweet toasts, a bread pudding complete with spicy esters derived from the yeast. Plummy, sweet breads dominate the flavor profile, too, with toffee and plenty of spice. Alcohol is suitably warming. Very good but not quite top echelon material, lacking the depth and complexity of the top quads. The carbonation is a tad too robust.

Feb 17, 2007 Bottle. Chestnut brown color with a loose cream colored head. Aroma of toffee, figs, nuts, dark fruit, alcohol, and slightly salty. Really round aroma, complex and clearly a quad. Huge toffee flavor, caramel, vanilla, hugely malty and round. Spicy. Chewy full flavor. Nice finish, really smooth. A tad sweet but hugely drinkable. Another nice beer from southampton.

Jan 23, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Adrian910ss: Poured a deep burgundy color ale with a big off-white foamy head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with some hints of dry fruits (figs and plums). Taste consisted of some sweet malt with some very subtle Belgian yeast and some very subtle dry fruits such as figs and plums. Body is slightly above average with no alcohol discernable. I don’t know if my expectation were too high or if I got another so-so bottle of Southampton but I wasn’t impressed at all and thought this was quite far from the staple of the style (Rochefort, Westy, St-Bernadus).
