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.

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.

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.

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.

May 15, 2009 Bottle at RnH Drink for Charity. Thanks to everyone who brought great beer to this. Rich dark brown with head and lace. Rich brown sugar spice fruit and wood aromas. Brown sugar spice subtle dark fruit with nice bitter spicy finish. Very nice texture and blend of flavors. I’m not a big quad fan, but I liked this a lot.

May 14, 2009 Pours a murky dark brown with very little head. The aroma is very sweet, malty, and boozy. The raisins definitely make their presence known. The flavor is just like the smell, sweet sweet malt, caramel, raisins, and prunes. The mouthfeel is syrupy and thick. Overall, this is a pretty good beer, very very sweet and syrupy, might be better after aging for a year or so.
