4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Batch 15, I believe around 08. Pours a dark brown, caramel hue. Spices and darker fruits in the nose. Palate is smooth with tons of flavor, I really thought this one would have diminished more, however the plum caramel flavor is straight through. Still balanced and not cloying, maybe could have gone at least another year. I will update with the last batch of the old label soon. Quite tasty even on a warmer summer day

Draft. Pours amber with an off white head. Dark fruity aroma, with toasty malts, yeast, and a hint of booze. The flavor has spicy yeast, dark fruits, and toast. Nice.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours amber-brown with a moderate white head and light lacing. Nose is a little earthy/herby for the style, but with plenty of brown sugar, maple syrup, belgian yeast, and some alcohol. Flavor is more typical of quads with rich, sweet breadiness, and yeast on the front, fading to fruit and alcohol on the backside. Very "sticky". Good stuff, though not quite up to the top pier among quadrupals.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sample at Mondial de la Bière (Montréal). Cloudy amber body with an average off-white foamy/creamy head. Well balanced malty/hoppy aroma with grainy and flowery hints. Alcohol is very well hidden. Its malty/hoppy taste carries yeasty and fruity notes. Ends with a decent bittersweet finish. Very enjoyable Quadrupel.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled. Hazy ambery brown colour with a small beige head. Aroma is raisins, wood, resins, mild yeast and also being rather strong on the malty times. Flavour is rather siilar along with alcohol and some syrupy notes. Gets more balanced and bodied once it warms up a bit.

Bottle from halls liquors. Pours a deep cloudy amber with a thin off white head. The aromas are leather, bread. The mouthfeel is dry, bitter and sticky with a medium to heavy body. I really liked this one. Cheers!
