Staff Bottle. Poured a clear brown color with an average frothy brown head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate to heavy dark sweet fruit and woody whiskey alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth sticky texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy dark sweet bourbon flavor with a medium to heavy sweet finish of moderate to long duration. Standout complex brew.

Bottle. Pours opaque black with a small, frothy tan head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is dark fruity esters (dates, prunes, plums), caramel and cookie malt with earthy hops. Flavor is malt dominant with medium fruity esters, sweet malt and a sweet finish. Full body and medium carbonation.

Sample during the Armageddon tasting at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 12/20/2012. The beer pours a dark brownish-amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Caramel malt, vanilla and bourbon in the nose. Medium to full body with flavors of dark fruit, oaky vanilla and earthy malt. The finish is mildly boozy with a bourbon and vanilla aftertaste. Good beer overall.

Served in a Jackie O’s 2012 STAFF glass. Nose and flavor are both full of extremely smooth Pappy. There are underlying dark fruits, but lot much quad left. Still, uber smooth.

Bottle shared by Sean, thanks! Pours a near clear deep amber brown with a tan head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has earthy dark grains, a hint of dark fruit and a nice bourbon note. Flavor has a nice combination of vanilla bourbon with dark fruit, sweet dark grains and candied sugars.

22 oz bottle shared by pantanap. Thanks, dude. A Quad aged in Pappy Barrels. Awesome. Pours a rich deep dark brownish pour, dark and ominous, near opaque and dark. A frothy light brownish head dies to a film, laces small. A nice loose layer. Aromas are apples and spirit, oak, toffee, toast, gentle Belgian yeast grows. A touch carmelized, apple and spirit, gentle fruit. A bit of rich darkness, deep dark malts. Initial is a bit hot, big barrel presence shows bourbon, spirit, oak, vanilla. Bigger heat, some apple, Belgian influence, firm apple, gentle spice, toffee and toast. Spirit, apple brandy, vanilla, bourbon, richer malts and firm spirit heat influence as we move back. Backend shows a bit of heat, warmth, oak, spirit. A rich malty and flavorful experience evolves from the barrel, a bit of heat, tannic dryness, bourbon, apples, pear, some brandy. Richer flavors, a bit hot into the finish and lingering. Pretty nice, a bit hot and barrel ridden, richly fruity. Fun, odd, rich flavors.

22oz bottle from Jackie O’s. Pours a deep copper amber with an off-white head. Nose is sweet malt, some vanilla, wood, bourbon, and goodness, along with some plummy dark fruits and more complimentary bourbon notes with some candy sugar as well. Flavor follows with big sweet malt, some nice candy sugar and then that bourbon-vanilla goodness hits and all is well. Medium in body and lovable candy sugar meets vanilla bourbon goodness finish.

Bottle. Pours red brown with tan head. Aroma toffee, raisin, booze, flavors tart raisins and caramels,

Bottle shared by Kan. Thanks! Pours a deep reddish brown with an offwhite head. The nose is really cool. Lots of vanilla, marshmallows and caramel. Barrel forward but not oppressive. Sweet. On tasting, fresh toffee and caramel candy dominates. Sweet but balanced. There is a bitterness and fruity note, but it is a bit one dimensional overall. Still, really neat beer and fun to try!

22oz bottle from staff society... Pours a deeper mahogany toffee hue, deeper edges towards the sides, and topped with a creamy light beige head...aroma of deeper toffee and caramel and smooth vanilla bourbon and vanilla throughout. Pretty darn smooth throughout... Flavors are rich And vanilla caramel like darker toffee and barrel notes. Smooth limited body with very light carbonation. Finishes somewhat warm and boozy. Nice but big.
