This reddish brown ale poured with a very sparse beige head, eliciting a spicy candy aroma. The flavor is fruity and pumpkin-like, with a somewhat bitter alcohol finish and a carbonated mouthfeel. The complex flavor and high alcohol content lends this brew excellent aging potential. I’ll try another bottle after 5 or years in the cellar.

Aug 18, 2008 750 from Knightly Spirits poured an amber-red color with a creamy off-white head. The aroma is very sweet with red apple, candy sugar, toffee, and caramel. The flavor is somewhat yeasty with red apple flavor and a lingering sweet and sourness. It’s good, but it lacks some of the syrupy sweetness I expect from a quad.

Aug 17, 2008 Probably the smoothest beer I’ve tried for 10% or greater, along with Smuttynose Imperial Stout. Smooth, like a good scotch, and well rounded.

Aug 15, 2008 Pours a dark amber with a big off white head. Aroma is sweet with raisins, fig, a little fruit and spice. very smooth and the alcohol become present after it warms in the glass. Excellent stuff.

Aug 4, 2008 Ruby-brown pour with a tall off-white head that fades to a thin ring. Lots of caramel and dark fruit aroma with a healthy dose of citrus and alcohol. Lots of fig and plum notes interlaced with a quite a bit of citrus hops for a quad. A few hints of spice pop out here and there. The alcohol is definitely evident. Oily medium-full body with lots of carbonation and a definite alcohol warming.

Jul 27, 2008 75cl corked bottle. Pours a murky bronze colour with no real head. Big aroma of brandied fruit, yeast, banana, spice and alcohol. Nice flavour of more dark fruit, caramel malt and it finishes with alcohol warmth. Not a heavy hitting quad which makes it easy drinking and something you could enjoy more than every now and again.
