2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20 obguthr (2385) - Poquoson, Virginia, USA - AUG 1, 2010
Faint aroma of candi sugar and overripe apple. Murky copper,thick yellow head, minimal lacing. Metallic and relatively non descript flavor. There is a tartness, reminiscent of persimmon in quality but not in intensity. Woody finish. Very little flavor at fridge temperature, but at room temperature, subtle apple and cinnamon notes do appear. Full bodied with alcohol present, but somewhatt in the background. Suprisingly lackluster for the style, with little flavor. I can think of hundreds of beers better than this that are much more affordable. I’ll have to check my ratings, but this may be the tamest quad I’ve ever had.

Hazy to unclear amber with a medium beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel, dark overripe fruits, yeast and a few signs of alcohol. Flavor had roasted malt, overripe plums, figs, dates, caramel, yeast and hops. Finished sweet and full. Towards the end I had warming alcohol to finish the experience.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 KYBreakfast (15) - Kentucky, USA - JUL 14, 2010
Beautiful Light Brown/Dark Copper tones.
That of citrus, Lemon/Orange Peel
Wow- not like it smells at all. A grapefruit. Medium Hops. Slightly sweet maple sugar.
Over the top. Wonderful mouthfeel - one of the best I’ve had. A major factor in my liking of this beer.
A sipper not a session beer. Allagash has done it again - another great addition to a stellar collection.
