4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bouteille de 750ml, acheté à City Market (Burlington, Vermont) le 25/9/08. Brune noisette vaseuse, peu de collet. Arome d’orge malté bien épicé, avec des notes d’houblon légèrement amêre et crèmeuse. Goût d’alcool très prèsant, mais bien réchaufant, malte épicé avec une bonne finission licoreuse. Comme une boisson forte, mais sans être à 40% ou plus!
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Courtesy of Sea Bass. Pours clear amber with thin light tan head. The aroma has full varied maltiness with special B, roasted malts, caramel malts to go along with earthy and spice hops. The taste has a nice hit of hop bitterness from the start with spice and earthy hops and some pine hop bitterness to boot. The malts move in with roastiness, cara Munich dark like malts that well up but don’t manage to overtake the hops
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from the Bottle Shop in Carrboro. Pours a deep copper with a good, tan head. Lots of brown sugar, crystal malt, and dark fruits in the nose. Very smooth and well balanced. Very sweet at times but then hoppy. Taste has a lot of spice, honey, and raisins in addition. 10% abv was barely noticeable. A very good quad and one of my favorites from Allagash.

Bottle. Red in color, good head. Average of aroma of fruit. Taste was different from most quads I have had, hoppy. Still matly. Sugary and fruity. The carbonation level was a little high. Not the greatest quad I have ever had but just ok compared to some others.
