4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a dark golden color with a white head. Has excellent lacing. Has hints of dark fruits, caramel, oak, and raisins. Brew gets better as it gets warmer. A lot of the flavor is masked when right out of the frig. The alcohol is masked well. Finshes medium bodied with a sweet spice flavor of caramel on the tongue.

Deep amber colour with a white head. Fruity and yeasty aromas. Medium bodied. Alcohol is hidden fairly well. A bit more hopped up than expected. Good beer but not world class.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
bottle. small, khaki colored, fizzy head (fully diminishes). Cloudy. orange-black-reddish body. bananas, dark fruit, toffee, light bubble gum, and hop aromas are all present in this one-not as complex as expected.
flavor is lightly bitter but mostly sweet.
fizzy carbonation.
nice light alcohol warming.
Not the best quad but still very good.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Appearance: Pours a murky, reddish-amber body with a light tan-colored head.
Smell: Sweet-smelling, malty aroma of toffee and light brown sugar with a full fruity plum and apricot bent to it. Some faint spicy hop notes can be detected beyond the haze of malt and fruit.
Taste: FOUR is a substantially malty brew, with flavors of toasted toffee and caramel expanded upon with notes of cinnamon, grass, figs, and brandy. Semi-dry finish with some alcohol showing at the tail end. Even with the purported use of four varieties of hops, I didn’t really ascertain any bitterness (not that I mind).
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, with a slight stickiness to the texture. Mild carbonation. Some alcohol warmth throughout.
Drinkability: At any rate, it’s another pleasant, likeable release from Allagash that should be drank accordingly.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Caramelly, brown sugar, and kind of cidery in the nose. Pours a nice amber. Very nice flavor, caramel and smooth sugar, with a great spicey character. Very smooth!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a hazy deep woody brown color with a tan head. Aroma is malty, caramel, sugary, hops, and a hint of fruit. Flavor is malty, caramel, some sugars, and a light spicy finish. I think the sugars thinned the beer out a little too much.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
#400. Probably better beers out there for a milestone, but seemed to good to pass up. Pours a cloudy copper-red color with a medium sized, quickly settling, beige colored head. Aroma is caramel malts, raisins, dried cherries, spice. Flavor is huge caramel, more raisins, cherries, molasses, alcohol, and yeast. Palate is medium to full bodied, medium aggresive carbonation, finishes sweet and slightly warming. This was definitely a great beer, don’t think its up there with the best quads, but still very enjoyable!!!
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a dark maroon with a light off white head. Smells of dark fruit, caramel, dark malts, and a little raisin. Taste is very sweet on the lips, extremely malty, big dark fruit and caramel in the taste, much like the smell. Alcohol is pretty noticeable, but still quite easy drinking. The flavors seem to explode in the mouth upon arrival. One of my favorite Allagash beers. Never disappoints.
