| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 7, 2010 This is a Belgian Quadrupel mixed with Kriek. The color is amazing and it is a truly great representation of a Belgian Quadrupel. As a lover of Kriek I would love if the cherry flavor was a bit more than a faint hint, but an overall fantastic beer. ectuohy27 (39), New Jersey, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/20 | Feb 7, 2010 heavy yet undistinguished...more like a high-alcohol english ale than the complex belgian brew it aspires to be Overml01 (48), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 5, 2010 Bottle at home. Wow, a great Quad!
Aroma is a blend of malts and fruits. Caramel and raisins sit behind a big cherry aroma.
Appearance is a hazy amber that pours a frothy off-white head. Head retention is good with nice lacing. Island of foam stick around throughout the experience.
Taste and palate is as expected, sweet from start to finish. Great flavors of cherries, caramel, and a touch of vanilla swirl around without ever becoming cloying. Nice average carbination delivers the creamy, medium bodied beer smoothly down the throat. Finish is a long release from the sweet fruits that dominate the palate.
I havn’t had a Quad yet that I’ve been disapointed with, and this carries on the tradition! dyetube (442), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 3, 2010 This beer pours a deep dark ruby/amber with a large off white head . The aromas are cherries, candied sugar and figs. The flavor is sweet on the front leading to a slight dryness in the middle followed by a wollop of sweetness at the end (full of lasting cherry flavor). I was quite surprised by this one! I didn’t think I’d like it much but I do! Cheers! dagimp (156), Philly, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 3, 2010 From a 12oz bottle into a snifter. Pours a medium brown with an inch of thick, foamy head which dissappears, leaving no lacing. Smell is of tart cherries and brown sugar. Mouthfeel is medium-thick but not syrupy, which is good considering the style. Unfortunately, its way too overcarbonated and fizzes with every sip. Taste is of tart cherries up front with sugar, brown sugar, banana and alcohol bringing up the rear. Overall a very good beer but the carbonation kills the mouthfeel. It also doesn’t have enough of that "Belgian" taste considering it’s a Quad. Travlr (983), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Feb 2, 2010 Cloudy amber with a fluffy white head that settles quickly to reveal scant lacing. Aroma of dark fruits and light spice. Full bodied. Malty flavor with prunes and raisins. Nice. jmulv (111), Rensselaer, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 31, 2010 Big, bold brew right here. Taste is very malt-driven, a syrupy sweetness, and some fruits as well. Pretty thick beer in your mouth, and alcohol certainly doesn’t overpower the taste of the malts and the cherry - mild bite at the end of it. Very interesting beer, something to really examine and enjoy.
