Draft @ Trappeze. Pours reddish/brown with thin tan head. Aroma of dark fruits. Taste is spices and dark fruit. Not as bold as some quads. Easy drinking and very enjoyable.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
