750 ml bottle, Mmmm those Quads! Deep orange colored beer with a cream colored head. Plummy aroma, belgian yeast, brown sugar, light spice. Flavor was fruity, light banana, yeasty, plum again, some booze. A touch hot, but the body was fairly nice. Need to be a bit more balance but not bad.

11.2 oz Belgian "grenade" bottle. This one has aged the better part of two years in my closet, the last of a four pack given to me some time back. Thick toffee orange-brown color, quite opaque. The aroma is quite mild and tolerable for a beer of such fortitude, though it does gain some brandy like characteristics as it warms. The taste is sweet and rich, with a pungent, toffee-yeastyness that is quite delicious. I’d say the beer has aged quite well. I don’t think I would have given it as high of a rating when it was "fresh" in the bottle a few years back, but this is really an absolutely superb example of a Quadruple. Better get another few to age..
