| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 17, 2008 Courtesy JMFG. Pours a clear but very dark chestnut brown color with deep violet hues. A frothy, creamy, light beige head leaves soapy swaths of lacing to rejoin the body. The aroma shows notes of cinnamon raison bread with brown sugar, ripe red grapes, figs, dates, and a hint of spicy clove. Earthen hops complete the nose. Flavors include a hefty dose of dark caramel and earthy, dark fruits with cream. The finish is a little hot from the alcohol, ending moderately dry and peppery. Medium-full and creamy on the palate, the light carbonation is nice, but the alcoholic heat gets to be a little too much. Overall, this is a fairly well done quad. Nice brew.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 15, 2008 Bottle from Capone’s. Pours turbid dark brown with 2-finger tan head. Nose is berry, cherry, cacao, funky yeast, dark fruit, brown sugary malt, spice, some oaky bourbony notes. Tastes of malt, cacao, cherry, brown sugar, caramel, earthy, figs, and a slightly sweet, syrupy palate that is very complex and very drinkable for a beer of this heft and ABV. Gets drier late, with some alcohol showing through, but this one is very, very good!
