Apperance: Pours a clearish, mahogany-hued body sporting a ring of tiny, white bubbles.
Smell: Malty aroma crammed with dark caramel overlayed with alcohol-soaked plums and cherries and wrapped in a light, delicate yeastiness.
Taste: Full maltiness and a strong Juicy Fruit bubblegum taste and a little pinch of acidity. Some spiced bananas, a pinch of crushed rock candy. Slight yeast character. Hint of toast. Warming finish with a lasting taste of fruit-flavored bubblegum.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: A decent quad and pleasure to have tried it, but one is enough for me, thanks.

Jul 5, 2008 Bright,fresh ,multifruit ester aroma, banana,apricot, and brown sugar dominating,taste is much more baked caramel, cola,and alcohol with those fruit esters,becoming almost invisible,wish those esters were a little more evident in flavor. Still an enjoyable Quad,and this brew will drop kick you into Oz, Don’t drink it when your extremely thirsty like I did.

Jun 26, 2008 The bottle poured dark caramel color with no light penetration, and fluffy tan head. Settles with no lacing. Intense sweet aroma of brown sugar and banana with undertones of burnt hardwood. The flavor is sweet down the middle with spice in the cheeks, like cinnamon. Tart and full bodied, this beer almost needs a companion, like carrot cake. It’s delicious, but this is all about the sugars, no hops to finish, at least that I detect. It’s an elixir.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, tupalev & jerc -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Batch #67334. Pours a hazy orange-brown with an average size lasting frothy off-white head. Strong aroma of alcohol, spices, yeast, fruit and sugar. Flavour of sweet malt and fruit along with alcohol, yeast, sugar and caramel. Medium to full bodied, sticky mouthfeel. This is relatively well done, and I don’t mind it, but it’s not really my thing -- too boozy and sugary.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle shared with Greg Clow, Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Jerc, courtesy of Jerc (I think?). Spicy soft malt aroma. Dark fiery brown, small to medium foamy white head. Great taste, surprisingly sweet - lots of caramel. Lots of alcohol, great foamy body, spicy finish. Very good!
