Mar 6, 2009 A reddish brown ale with a thin off white head. A wonderful cherry and licorice aroma, with vinous alcohol. In mouth, a rich smooth cherry and chocolate, with light aniseed notes, and warming alcohol. Rich and wonderful. Tasted at Mondiale 2007.

Mar 6, 2009 Bottle. [thanks, bigbro]
Pours a nice, clear mahogany with a small, creamy, beige, film head. Toffee, raisins, plums, vanilla, some alcochol and subdued chocolate in the aroma. Low carbonation, nice oily mouthfeel. Flavour starts with som sharpish alcohol, then turns sweet, with good toffee and some soft chocolate. Nice fruitiness, but not the best quad in the world.

Feb 28, 2009 Lots of fruity goodness in this rich and complex quadrupel. Dark brown, almost black. Lots of different fruit and alcohol in the flavor. Palate is almost a bit too sweet. Alcohol is well hidden.

Feb 22, 2009 Bottle at the Lost Abbey dinner. Quad that draws more from American than Belgian influences. A good beer but a little sweeter and more molassas that your typical Belgian quad. Good job hiding the 10.5 ABV and also some of the yeast notes remind me of Belgium.

Feb 22, 2009 Bottle a little undercarbed. Thin head that dissipated quickly. Good aroma of mollasses. Tastes of raisins, sugar and mollases, slight alcohol residual warming. overall an interesting beer to drink that is well balanced.
