Bottle: Pours a red/brown, murky with a thin white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is of very ripe green apples and grapes. Flavor is very malty and fruity with the same green fruit juicy flavors but with some yeasty earthiness as well as oaky tannins and a medium bourbony spices throughout. Alcohol shows some but not too much. Quite a nice sipper.

Oct 6, 2008 Yep, there’s that sugary-bourbon-vanilla-wood scent. Rich sweet and very mellow. Flavor pops at first with a burst of heat, slight vanilla and caramel malt. The yeasty quad aspect is so relaxed, this is almost like a well-refined barley wine. Oh yeah, beautiful dark amber with a small head. As this warms up it just gets better and better, smoother, sweeter and more complex.

Oct 4, 2008 Pours a deep orange-brown colour with a fast fading head. Aroma is quite nice. Soft sweet orange-peel and plummy character with a touch of cherry as well. Fairly light vanilla and bourbon that integrates pretty nicely with the lightly spicy esters. It’s a little bit vineous as well. Flavour wise, it’s pretty good, but a little bit boozy. Peppery alcohol and a little bit of light Belgian spiciness. A hint of peachiness along with a sticky sugary sweetness on the back. As it warms the bourbon really picks up. OK, but way too hot and boozy

Oct 3, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a hazed, dark ruby brown with a small beige ring for a head. Nose was very sweet, tons of vanilla, bourbon, oak and caramel. Flavor was also very sweet with all the components mentioned above with a good boozy kick. Very impressed with this Quad.

Sep 27, 2008 POURS NICE AND DARK. VANILLA AND OAK TASTE. TASTE VERY MUCH LIKE A CARBONATED GOOD RED WINE. TASTE VERY MUCH LIKE A RED WINE AND IS AS HIGH IN ALCOHOL CONTENT.

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.
