Ah, my first Avery beer. Warms the heart, and the tummy! Most recently, on tap at the Avery 12th anniversary party. Copper colored with white head. Grainy fruity yeast aroma. The taste is very sweet and very rich. Slight ester bitterness, more of a banana creamy finish. Sharp cheddar comes to mind. For all the alcohol it’s amazing how little you taste it. Very well rounded, very very good. Dangerous.

Recommended to me because of my recent infatuation with belgian ales, this definitely did not disappoint. A nice reddish color and a decent head with a fair amount of lacing. For me, as with all belgians, the overwhelming flavor is that of apples. I can drink this in complete comfort. It’s just good. Not quite as complex as a tripel I had a few weeks ago, but with perhaps a better overall flavor.

Dark reddish appearance with an average size head. Taste is very sweet with a pretty strong alcohol overtone. Complex but a little sweet compared to other quads that I’ve been able to try. Surprisingly drinkable, but not the best representative of the style.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2008 Sadly when I took notes on this, but all I can find is my rating...however I remember enjoying it (as I do most Avery beers)....and several other beers after as well.

Served from tap into a tulip. Pours amber with a one finger white head. Maintains excellent lacing throughout. The aroma was comprised of bananas and slight alcohol. The flavor was of fruit, malt, alcohol, and pear upon swallowing. It was light on the palate with low carbonation. Overall this was an excellent brew. The flavors present definitely mask the alcohol flavor but it is still present. It is scary drinkable which could get you in trouble quickly as it is quite enjoyable as well.

Full-bodied, moussy.
More of a barley wine feel than a quadrupel.

A solid mouth feel with some crisp bright notes swirled in to get the mouth guessing.
