750 ml bottle shared by dbsdelight- thanks again, Dan! 2009 vintage. Pours a somewhat cloudy amber color with a finger-thick off-white head. Aroma of apples, grapes, wet dog, caramel malts, and earth. Flavor of apples, grapes, minerals, wet leaves, overripe fruits, caramel malts, and wood. Medium-bodied, with a malty, earthy mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Very weird quad.

Bottle pours reddish brown color with huge foamy golden head. head persists with excellent lacing. Aroma dark fruits and alcohol. Taste sweet and slightly tart with dark fruits, spices and slight hops. Brief finish of dark fruits and hops, slight alcohol burn on end. Palate not particularly thick or rich but OK.
Overall I liked it. One of the better US quads.
