zapprentice (309), East Setauket, New York, USA Jun 3, 2009 Enjoyable beer. Tap at Deep Ellum. Sugar and rasiny nose. Taste of caramel, some non citrus fruits, and a little booze. BgThang (118), Texas, USA Jun 2, 2009 Really nice beer. Pours a deep murky color.
The nose is dark fruit, raisins, and some sweetness.
This beer is a year or two old so it has mellowed nicely. Very damn tasty beer. frankenkitty (1900), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA Jun 1, 2009 Pours a deep bronzish-brown with a minimal head becoming a sandy wisp of film. Nose of chocolate, molasses, tart apples, plum, sour milk and mild alcohol... quite diverse to say the least. Sweet yet tart, a little gritty, mildly astringent. Dry finish with lingering chocolate, whisky and raisin. ~~~~~~~~~~ A tip o’ the hat to Cornfield for a glass of this.
Sparky27 (1567), Phoenix, Arizona, USA May 30, 2009 750ml bottle, 2007 vintage. Pours deep dark maroon with a thin tan head that leaves slick lacing. The nose is raisins, brown sugar and molasses. The taste is caramel, dark fruits, light chocolate and burnt brown sugar. Medium semi-creamy mouthfeel. Very good. kmeves (1080), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA May 29, 2009 Pours a hazy deep amber/brown with a minimal beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet with raisin, prune and light alcohol. Flavor is raisin, plum, pomegranate, caramel and dark chocolate. Sticky full body with low carbonation. Finish is dry and very woody. Pawola22 (676), Kansas City, Missouri, USA May 24, 2009 On tap at the brewery in San Marcos. Pours a mostly clear, lighter mahogany red-brown body with a thin, off-white head that dissipates slowly into almost nothing leaving minimal lacing around the edges. Aroma is sweet, darker malts with lots of figs and prunes. Lots of Belgian candies and some toasted toffees as well. Flavor is chewy malts with lots of the characteristics found in the aroma. Lots of prunes and raisins, Belgian candies, and some molasses as well. A soft yeast spice and some woody hops in the finish. Body is full and chewy with a dry, sweetly spiced and warming finish. Overall, a pretty damn good beer. Not the most complex quad, but very tasty. Good one. gracefullypunk (272), Washington, USA May 23, 2009 Near black with a thin tan head. There’s just something indescribable that makes me love this beer. Aroma is full with plenty of raisins, fruit, and brown sugar. The flavor is more of the same, and also includes some vanilla and dark fruits. It finishes with a spicy bitterness and the raisins definitely linger. austone (999), Turku; Pori, Finland May 22, 2009 75cl bottle. Dark brown, near black w/ a small tanned head. Raisiny, very syrupy nose, dark fruitiness, little easter pudding, faint licorice. Flavor is more easter pudding, syrupy rye bread, roastiness, herbs, dark fruits & raisin, slight sourness, really balanced but still massive. Almost full bodied, smooth soothing palate. A great Quadruble, feels really nicely aged.
