Bottle, sampled at Woodshop Quad. Pours a hazy amber-brown with an off-white head. Sweet and sharp aroma, of malt, herbs, and dark fruits. Sweet-sharp taste, of malt, honey, pine, and dark fruits. Lingering sweetness. Nice.

Draught at The Reef. Amber with a small head that leaves a sllick of foam. Malty brown sugar aroma with some alcohol and grape-like fruitiness. Sweet caramel, alcohol, and alcoholic fruit flavors. Dries out just enough in the finish. Full bodied and a bit hot in the mouth. This was alright, but I just couldn’t shake the feeling that the only thing interesting about it was the high gravity; take that away and there wasn’t much going on.

pours a hazy caramel to brown color with almost no head at all. outstanding aroma with notes of raisin, currant, and some phenols. flavor backs up the aroma and but the finish is a bit thin and not as warming as i thought.

Bottle. Thanks to smokepot23 for the hookup! Pours a hazy yellowish brown color. Decent lingering head. Flavor is woah theres a lot going on. Yeasty esters, banana bread, ripe fruit, soft malts, candy sugars, etc, etc. Medium bodied, soft chewy finish. This is solid, almost on par with the Belgian quads. Only thing to knock it down is that the sweetness is a bit cloying. Otherwise good.

tart and fruity. sweet, nose of figs, almost wine like quality. Alcohol. Aroma almost reminds me of anise licorice. Taste is very sweet, but balanced with tart fruitiness. Does get a little old after a while. There is an astringent characteristic from the alcohol.
