750ml bottle courtesy of Jonpol. Pours amber/copper with a thin sparse off white foam. Smells of sugar, some tarte cherries, dark fruit, some earthy character. Tastes nutty with some tartness and lots of sweet malt. No alcohol burn to speak of. This could use some more balance, but its otherwise an enjoyable beer.

May 28, 2008 Sampled at Paul’s Hoboken Gathering. Hazy deep amber in color. Alot of caramel, some sherry- dark fruits in the aroma. Taste is caramel, dark fruits, bready yeast. Full bodied. Thought this was a more of a straight up aged barleywine rather than a quad.

May 13, 2008 Sampled at Dickinsonbeer’s Hoboken gathering - this seems more like a barleywine than a quad - muddy dark brown beer - loads of dough and fig and candied fruits in the aroma and flavor - a little bit of acidity and oxidation - some vegetal notes near the end - drinkable, but leaning heavily into the territory of lame.

May 12, 2008 Bottle at Paul’s Hoboken Gathering: Murky amber pour with a tan head. Lots of wintery spices in the nose. Some clove and dark fruits. The mouthfeel is frothy. Some oxidized dark malts in the flavor- dark fruits and subtle toasted maple. There’s a very light tart character in there, a bit plummy. Decent stuff.
