Dec 14, 2008 Pours with an amber hue that sits below a light brown head that lasts - the appearance is quite good-looking. Good lacing as well.
Aroma is of dark fruits, molasses, and caramel with a tad bit of strawberries.
Flavor has a sweet beginning, and a sweet ending. The dark fruits and caramel notes come through very strongly in the taste. The other dominant taste is brandy in the beer.
Lively carbonation.

Dec 14, 2008 Batch 15. Pours with a large, off-white creamy head with great lacing. Very murky to opaque, pretty amber brown body. Aroma of raspberry, dark fruits, plums, a bit of toffee, a touch of burnt malt, oak and caramel. Taste is of raisins, raspberries, a bit of soggy malt, alcohol, caramel, brandy and butterscotch. Creamy with light bubbles. Tasted young, but I think I am going to try to age a bottle for 5 years or so.

Dec 5, 2008 A very strong hop flavor is present that makes this quadrupel a lot more bitter, unfortunately, than most other quads. It could’ve used a little more of the sweet toffee and maple flavors usually present in a good quad. Nevertheless, it is still pretty good overall, just different from what one initially expects.

Nov 29, 2008 What a super brew. Stood up well to the turkey this year. Smooth balance of brown sugar and hops, no indication of the high alcohol content--just real fine full-bodied flavors. Tan head atop a deep amber brew. A fine ale.

Nov 28, 2008 This has an interesting sour aroma. Great color and head. This has a good flavor-sweet, caramel. This is smooth and doesn’t seem strong. Great.
