The Westy connection is obvious at first sniff...Perpetual candied chocolates, thick cookie dough, red wine and roasty cigar bitterness...Dark caramel, earth-filled cherries, licorice and tropical fruit in an easy going, big-bubbled, yeasty finish...Sometimes it’s a little too doughy and fluffy, and thus seems rough and sugary...The best bottles are 4.5s, while some others are 4s for me...Anyway, I just love this style of beer, especially when it is so well-executed...

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours with a large head, excellent lacing, and dark brown color. Aromas of molasses, caramel, lime, and plum. Creamy texture with a nearly perfect flavor. Definitely a keeper and will be purchasing this beer again!

does not count  Oct 5, 2008 Dark brown colour, thick white head that stays for a really long time. Aroma is slightly sweet, with the aroma of plums and raisins. Palate is pleasant, light bubbles form on your tongue as you taste it. The flavour is incredible, dark chocolate, vanilla, plums... it just keeps going. Great lingering taste. Great brew!

Oct 4, 2008 Aroma of alcohol, spice, and malt. Slight fruit smell of raisins and other dark fruits. Pours dark with cream colored medium head. Slight coiander flavor. Touch of brown sugar, slight dried fruit and malt. Very enjoyable and seems to get better with each sip.

Oct 4, 2008 bottle. deep amber-brown pour with a big off-white head that goes down to thin but never really goes away. aroma of raisins, caramel and yeast. taste is sweet malt, vanilla, and prune. really well balanced and a general warmness - but alcohol is well hidden. I’ve had this several times now and it’s definitely good - but it’s just a tad too sweet for my tastes. always like it more as it warms up though. my main comparison is rochefort 12 and that one is more my style. still, really good quad overall.
