Very overt belgain yeast - especially strong are the dried flower and fig or currant. I was surprised at just how compact this beer seems, a very dense beer that sits really well on the palate. I wasn’t as blown away by the candy sugar as I thought I would be, but the alchohol is definitely present here. A surprisingly good drinking beer.

Dec 26, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Wine and Cheese Place in Clayton. Pours a cloudy ruby brown color with a small beige head. Aroma of raisins, cherries, caramel, candy sugar, Belgian malts, molasses, mild spices, and roast. The flavor follows suit really well, a smooth balance of all of the above. Syrupy mouthfeel, sweet and malty. Medium bodied, with minimal carbonation. Hides the 10% ABV well. Not bad, but not a top-tier Abt.

Dec 23, 2009 Simple appearance, but serious alcohol presence. Fat, peppery, apricot, spice and muscat grape. Wonderfully well knit but could smooth with age.

Dec 23, 2009 Good attempt at a quad. Doesn’t quite get to the quality of some of the good belgians. Clear, not as dense as most other quads. The flavor was good, clove and a slight sweetness. Not a bad beer as an alternative to the more expensive belgians.

Dec 22, 2009 Dark rich color with a small dense head. Huge beer. Right away I notice the alcohol is not hidden. Aroma give way to a burst of heat and dark fruit and sweetness. Some spice but more noticeable in the flavor. Flavor has more sweetness and a lot of burning heat. Molasses sweetness and some yeast. Nice overall with some fruit complexity.

Dec 8, 2009 Pours a deep copper into the glass with a slightly off white head. Aroma is belgian trappist yeast all the way. A bit of bubble gum in the flavor along with a rich sweet malt. Some spiciness in the finish. Nice effort from Avery.

Dec 5, 2009 A bottle at least three years old, courtesy of my father, also a reverend. Lots of candy sugar and molasses in the aroma. Taste is a bit barnyard but that might be the age. Sugar, cherry, alcohol, and some caramel. Not bad.

Dec 2, 2009 Bottle. Poured an orange hue with a fluffy yellow head. Nose is sweet with apricot notes and candied sugars, with a hint of the abv. Decent depth of flavors, but not a huge quad. Some fruit notes, with belgian yeast flavors. . Lots of sweetness, and a pretty big alcohol bite. Could use some time. A decent take on the style, but not quite there.
