May 18, 2008 Pours a dark burnt amber with lots of sediment and a creamy off white head. Lots of nice lacing as the head slowly fades away. Great aromas of spice, citrus peel, banana, dark fruits, cherries, malt, yeast and some alcohol. Flavors are all there too, and then some. Too complex to try and distinguish all the notes going on, but overal very fruity and good. A bit of bitterness and alcohol bite on the finish. Great brew.

May 18, 2008 on tap, orangey colour with friuty nose. Fruitiness and spiciness carry over into the taste. Relatively complex beer, quite sweet and for the alcohol content quite easy to drink. Definitely a nice one.

May 15, 2008 Konings Hoeven Label bottle, 750 from Total Wiine. This is a very complex and flavorful Quad. It pours a light amber color, with a nice off white head. It smells very heavily of spice, banana, alcohol and I swear there was bourbon smells, too. Tastes great, too. There were notes of fruit, banana, caramel, and again that lingering bourbon flavor, my bottle was aged a few months from when I bought it, though. Overall very good.
