May 11, 2009 Bottle shared by Andreasen11.
It pours a mahogany colour with a medium tan head.
Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, prunes and raisins with notes of banana and alcohol.
Flavour is like the aroma but the alcohol is almost completely hidden.
Well balanced, a very good beer!

May 8, 2009 Sweet nose of banana and cloves. Pours a lovely deep golden copper with a persistant tan head. Flavour is slow to develop - starting gently sweet with more banana and some mulled wine spice but then develops a richness anda bitterness that pleases and contains hints of nutmeg and fresh baked bread. The lingering flavour is malty and rich with a big fat kick of alcohol on the back of the tongue that adds rather than detracts.

Apr 30, 2009 On tap at The Brass Rail. Hazy brown with a creamy head. Dark fruit, molasses, and toffee flavors. Smooth and easy drinking. Not as complex as some of the better quads.

Apr 27, 2009 Très bonne quadrupel classique. De couleur brun orangée et d’arômes de caramel et d’alcool. En bouche, on peut facilement sentir le caramel, ainsi que des notes d’oranges et une chaude sensation d’alcool en finale.

Apr 25, 2009 Updated: Apr 26, 2009A wonderful barleywine. Some say the following: ’not the best quad out there....’ Then list other beers which are not ’quads’. What is a ’quad’? This is the ’quad’. The more I drink these barleywines, the less I can stomach English real ale. Much like other such beers, delicious a bit older. I had one some three years old that was wonderful: sweet, rich, no trace of the hit of booze one finds in younger beers.

Apr 21, 2009 Bottle. The aroma reminds me of wine with a little bit of paint thinner, very sweet and heavy. The head is small, fizzy and white, very fast disappearing. The body is red. The taste is very sweet and drinkable, only the finish is light bitter. A very nice balanced taste. The body is medium to very strong, oily and with a soft carbonation. A very nice beer.

Apr 19, 2009 330ml bottle. Pours a ruby to brown colour with a fluffy tan head that quickly settles. Audible crackle as the head settles. Mild carbonation with an aroma of sweet spices and hops. The favour dances on the tongue and is almost liquer like. Strong aniseed like taste. You can feel the alcohol and it is almost tongue numbing. One to sip and savour.
