| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 27, 2009 bottle shared by footy on 11/27/2009.
hazy pour looks similar to cherry stained wood. no head on this one.
smells alcoholic and bubblegum-y initially. after that blows off it reveals notes of golden raisins, florals, cinnamon, brown sugar, grain and some sort of odd tartness. alcohol remains present.
the flavor is exactly the same... except is is cloyingly sweet. that weird tartness shows up on the finish and is the only thing making an attempt to keep this drinkable... ok, the alcohol does too. but, it seems harsh.
the body is full giving me one more reason on top of the sticky mouth feel not to continue drinking it. 6/4/5/2/12/2.9

Lots of caramel and bubble gum, along with banana...not a very good representation of the style but not terrible. Better than a macro, but not very good. Medium mouthfeel. bu11zeye (5698), Frisco, Texas, USA

Pours amber in color with a trim beige head. Smells of flowers and bubble gum -- definitely not what I was expecting from a quad. Tastes of black tea, cherry cough medicine (almost like Arctic Devil), caramel, and pie spices. Unawesome. Dickinsonbeer (3563), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
