| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 17, 2008 Bottle, purchased in Surf City, NC, opened at Fancy Beer II in Columbus. It’s a combination that I thought wouldn’t work, but damn it tastes good. The barrel aging complements the strength of the quad. ScoWRee (276), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 7, 2008 Raspberry, bourbon, alcohol, oak aroma. Reddish orange with a thin head with swirls in the middle, bubbly on the outside, little lacing. Effervescent bubbliness, warming alcohol feel like whiskey in the mouth, a bit candyish, but fades out quick after the alcohol taste. Not bad, a bit overdone with the bourbon overpowering the quad subtelty. badlizard (2380), Berkeley, California, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 7, 2008 Bottle from VA. Clear red amber with a fizzy tan head.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 29, 2008 Bottle from kmweaver on 8/16/08. Thanks Ken! Tried at PP bottle shop with Sean. Amber color. Big alcohol nose and burn in the taste. The burn settles down quickly, as it seemed to be much stronger when the bottle is opened (i.e let it breathe before drinking). Sweetish. Medium drinkability. Oaky aroma initially but fades to maltiness. Low bitterness. ratman197 (3254), Arvada, Colorado, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 26, 2008 Bomber poured a clear copper with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of bourbon, oak, vanilla, toffee, fruittiness and light carmel. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of bourbon, oak, vanilla, toffee and light fruittiness with a smooth lingering lightly sweet finish.
Kinda disapointed in this one, not as good as Insanity or Heresy. blklab2007 (975), Connecticut, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 15, 2008 22 oz bottle poured into a trappist glass has a red amber color with a thin off white head that fell quickly. there is some visible sediment. aroma has sweet ripened banana yeast, dark fruit, candy sugar, vanilla, and has mellowed a bit from the barrel aging cutting back on the booze. mouth feel is medium thick with some coating and lighter carbonation. flavor has dark dried fruit, caramel malt, yeasty banana, spices, and oak. alcohol picks up quickly against a thick sweet malted base and the wood mellows it all out a bit. better than the quad but still way to hot.
