The strongest of the special beers. Its flavor is full, mild and pleasantly bitter. Quadrupel is presently available in the autumn, is bottled by the year and is perfect company for those long winter evenings.

Soapy head lasts quite awhile. As soon as I poured from the bottle I could smell the aroma. First thing that hit me was green apples. Citric aroma. Light amber color. Sweet, but finishes with a little spice. Fruity taste on the tongue. Smooth on the palate, and I found the alcohol to be well masked; however, it is still present.

Sweet malt taste, strong banana aroma, and yeasty aftertaste. This bottle was in the back of my fridge for six months, I should have opened it sooner.

Bottle. Cloudy brown colour with a nice head. Aroma of fruit and alcohol. Flavour of malt, fruit and alcohol.

On tap - Volo. App: Cherry red, zero visible carbonation, no head. Aroma, fruit, cherry and a little spice. Flavour: Wow - boozy, sherry-trifle, nutty. Again; quite boozy. Not sure if I like it.

Pours a copper/brown color, much lighter then I expected. It has banana, plums, raisin, cinnamin, caramel, and soem spice. Mouthfeel is rather fizzy. It’s okay.

I started to add this rating and realized I was adding it immediately following a fellow Oxford rater. And weirder still, I too found this bottle at the same "Dogdy Deli" aka Classic Beer & Wine on Cowley Rd. Interesting little hole in the wall shop. On to the beer: Huge cap of beige on a deep chestnut pour. Rich plums, spice cake and vanilla, with a high-frequency vapor hum. Rounded brown sugar and plum flavors. Clearly a substantial beer, but still very delicate around the edges, with a soft dry finish and a little lingering raisin flavor. I’m stoked to have found a solid quad I can get here in town!

Pretty sure this was 2002 vintage. A bit of fruity alchohol in the nose, but not overpowering in the taste. Cloudy copper colored. Not much head. I almost expected flat since the cork broke off and when I used the wine opener on it there was no pop from pressure in the bottle. Somewhat sweet taste. Hints of fruit and caramel. Maybe this was a bit young, as I didn't get any of the bitterness that some others had. Still, quite good!

The sampled bottle was from 1992. Redorange beer with a fruity nose. Lots of blueberries and raspberries. It´s huge and just keeps going, like a mix of The Green Giant and the Duracellbunny. Spicy with a bit of a dry finish. Interesting and quite enjoyable.
