Vanilla extract and dark chocolate follow. Finishes with a bit of a roasted coffee bitterness. Just enough alcohol present. Wintry spices throughout. An enjoyable winter warmer.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Can: Deep chestnut, moderate to large foamy light beige head, fairly sticky lacing. Sweet malty nose, faint dark pitted fruit and carob. Slight vinous quality to this. Some donut like bready sweetness, some frosting. Smidgen of sourness. This doesn’t come across as a Quad. Somewhat of a Dubbel maybe. Overall just a swett bready maltiness that isn’t overly heavy. Decent beverage, but not a Quad by any means.

Pours out a ruby hues brown color with a moderate off white head. Aroma is of dried dark fruit, spice and some candi sugar. Smooth mouthfeel, but a little bit light on the body for packing over 8%. Notes of dried fruit, mainly fig and raisinand light cherry, some candi sugar, and some alcohol creeps in on the finish.

OK, so am I the only one to think "a canned trappist-style beer???" Admit, so were you! Creamy light tan head about 1/4" high. Body is clear and dark ruby red color. Aroma is very slight. Pleasant flavor. Light sweetness with some hop bitterness. Average body. Clean palate. Not bad for an over all beer, but not something that stands out leagues above other trappist-style beer. Yet another good beer to add to the stable of 21st Amendment and canned beers in general!
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
There’s a lot in here, and the more I get into it, the more I think it’s an apt name. Pours a reddish copper, with a light tan head. Smells like a Flemish ale - something tart and cidery. Apples, mild berries, and dark fruit malts. Some cherry comes through in the flavor, and dark fruits - must be where the figs come in. No cinnamon to be spoken for... but this is multi-layered, for sure. I’m impressed - probably wouldn’t pick it up often, but this isn’t bad at all. More intriguing as you get farther through the glass.
