| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 30, 2009 Turbid amber with a frothy lace - a lot of overripe apple in the aroma, mild phenolics, earthy/musty character, warming spices, tart, orange peel qualities - full but creamy carbonation - fairly sweet, but tempered by strong spicy character, a tangy/tart citrus peel character, and complex yet subtle phenols - loads of overripe apple and dark fruit character - light brown sugar - very warming finish, both from alcohol and spices - a fairly well-made quad, especially for something made outside of belgium.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 27, 2009 Pours a very murky and very dark brown with a 2-3 finger, creamy beige head. Aroma is dark caramel, candi sugar, milk chocolate, hints of smoked fruit, crusty wheat bread, a little roast and plenty of dark fruit. Flavor is huge dark fruit and dark caramel up front, some boozy brandy like notes, candi sugar, lots of raw yeast, some cocoa, a little earthy dry wood, fried apple and spice. Palate is medium body, pretty oily and fairly dry. This is some tasty stuff for sure, but is easily bested by most other Quads I have had. Arayaga2 (954), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
