grandridge (169), Port Clinton, Ohio, USA Sep 7, 2006 Updated: Mar 26, 2008 750 mL bottle: Pours hazy amber with average head that dissapates quickly. Aroma wasn’t as strong as expected. Nice flavor but relatively light in comparison with other quads. Although I do think there is a nice balance. The alcohol is not too overwhelming and blends nicely wth the spicey finish. Mouthfeel isn’t as rich as some of the other quads but still a solid beer.
TeamTrappist (207), jericho, New York, USA Dec 1, 2008 On tap at the sunswick.Poured a medium brown, Nose is malty and yeasty. Flavor is similar with some sweetness, and a fairly strong hint of alcohol. Finish is sweet and malty. rds (133), USA Nov 29, 2008 What a super brew. Stood up well to the turkey this year. Smooth balance of brown sugar and hops, no indication of the high alcohol content--just real fine full-bodied flavors. Tan head atop a deep amber brew. A fine ale. dwyerpg (2143), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Nov 28, 2008 This has an interesting sour aroma. Great color and head. This has a good flavor-sweet, caramel. This is smooth and doesn’t seem strong. Great. mwelsh13 (231), Maryland, USA Nov 27, 2008 Aroma of chocolate and alcohol. Medium brown pour with an off white head. Some sweet notes, like caramel and toffee. Slight hop bitterness with a very sweet body. Alcohol very present. Some raisins in the taste as well. For 10% it goes down easily. Quevillon (1339), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Nov 19, 2008 Bouteille de 750ml, acheté à City Market (Burlington, Vermont) le 25/9/08. Brune noisette vaseuse, peu de collet. Arome d’orge malté bien épicé, avec des notes d’houblon légèrement amêre et crèmeuse. Goût d’alcool très prèsant, mais bien réchaufant, malte épicé avec une bonne finission licoreuse. Comme une boisson forte, mais sans être à 40% ou plus!
