4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20 branspra (293) - Arlington, Virginia, USA - SEP 9, 2008
Bottle. Had the latest version with the black label. Pours a tawny color with hints of pine, grapefruit, prune, date, rasberry, and honey. Amazing palate with a thick, creamy texture and soft carbonation. Flavor lasts long and is heavenly. Beer is similar to Miades Touch from Dogfish but I believe even better. Highly recommended a truly a great surprise.

Bottle 2008. Pours a dark cloudy brown with a very small head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, melon rind, light sweetness. Flavor of lots of melon rind and light apple and pear fruits. Not as sweet and sugary as I remember. This is more like a Belgian Strong Ale. Good, drinkable, tasty beer.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 ApisAles (1153) - Greenbelt, Maryland, USA - SEP 1, 2008
Pours a cola colored amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is very malty with a little bit of dark fruit and apple. Flavor is more of the same except super sweet. Kind of cloying and syrupy with some strange bread and bad fruit hints. It was ok, but not great.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 markwise (2695) - North of Tampa, Florida, USA - AUG 18, 2008
750 from Knightly Spirits poured an amber-red color with a creamy off-white head. The aroma is very sweet with red apple, candy sugar, toffee, and caramel. The flavor is somewhat yeasty with red apple flavor and a lingering sweet and sourness. It’s good, but it lacks some of the syrupy sweetness I expect from a quad.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 canary dog (516) - Rutland, Vermont, USA - AUG 17, 2008
Probably the smoothest beer I’ve tried for 10% or greater, along with Smuttynose Imperial Stout. Smooth, like a good scotch, and well rounded.

Pours a dark amber with a big off white head. Aroma is sweet with raisins, fig, a little fruit and spice. very smooth and the alcohol become present after it warms in the glass. Excellent stuff.

Ruby-brown pour with a tall off-white head that fades to a thin ring. Lots of caramel and dark fruit aroma with a healthy dose of citrus and alcohol. Lots of fig and plum notes interlaced with a quite a bit of citrus hops for a quad. A few hints of spice pop out here and there. The alcohol is definitely evident. Oily medium-full body with lots of carbonation and a definite alcohol warming.
