Jan 23, 2009 750. Ruddy brown pour with tall creamy head that has stuck around. Very sweet, stronger than the Bernardus. Nose is tart, dark fruit. Slight smokiness to flavor and very complex overall. A bit of holiday spice. Quite metallic, sharp and sticky sweet. Very nice, but not at the top of my list for quads; very respectable.

Jan 18, 2009 Updated: Jan 21, 2009Pours prune brown with no head. The nose and flavor were quite rich with dried fruit, especially figs, brown sugar and caramel. Smooth on the palate.

Jan 17, 2009 Updated: Feb 18, 200907 bottle thanks to EyeDrinkAle, thanks man! Poured a deep copper-brown color with a thick, billowing, rocky beige head that slowly receded and left some spotty lacing. Sweet aroma with some prunes, figs, raisin, a hint of leather, molasses, and brown sugar. Sweet, smooth entry with hints of brown sugar and molasses with a faint earthy spiciness and a bit of light smokiness finishing with some honey and caramel sweetness. Moderate carbonation and full on the palate. Seems a bit sweeter than traditional quads, but it is tasty. I would have preferred some sort of hoppiness or a bit more smoke to balance the sweetness. Thanks again Mike.

Jan 10, 2009 750 ml bottle shared by shigadeyo. Pours a clear brown copper color with a medium sized beige head. The aroma has some dark fruit, light spice, and sweet brown sugar. The aroma was a tad bit underwhelming. The flavor has a nice dark fruity character along with brown sugar sweetness and Belgian character. Some of the abv shows toward the finish, but this is very drinkable.

Jan 9, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with a ruby tine. Huge off-white head. Nose of vinous fruit and dark fruit. Taste of candied and over-ripe fruit. Mouthfeel is cloyingly sweet with slight alcohol and lots of carbonation. I like quads, but this was sweeter than I would have liked. Had wanted this one for awhile and was a little disappointed. Still decent.
