Bottle acquired in New Glarus during a Labor Day visit. Pours with a thin white head and nice copper color. Aroma initially of bourbon and cherry and musty. Flavor of caramel and bourbon with hints of vanilla. Definite tase of alcohol and there is somewhat of a weak finish initially but gets better when warmed up a bit. It would be nice to get another bottle to try this Quad in a year or two. Still a nice Quad from New Glarus.

Bottle acquired via trade with iowaherkeye...Joey thanks!!! This one definitely doesn’t live up to the real thing. Faint vanilla, oak, and cherries in the aroma...sweet and malty in the mouth. Just not very complex and a bit thin. Alcohol (11% ABV!!!) is still present...this one could benefit with some years behind it.

Bottle @ home. Orange brown color. Malt, cherry and a hint of flowers in the aroma. Full bodied. Sweet but oaky flavor, malty with dried cherries and mango. Slightly alcoholic. Flowery hops and dried fruit in the aftertaste. powerful and flavorful beer with some complexity.

Pours with a big head that goes away into nothingness, the beer is a clear deep amber color. There is a lot going on in the aroma here sweet malt aromas include raisins, and a bit of coco. This pairs well with a light oak aroma. The beer is delicious with dry and sweet fruit flavors of apple, prune, cherry, and raisin. There is a bit of oak in the flavor that mixes well with a subtle nuttiness and vanilla a flavors, this is very cordial like. I am surprised that there is brett in this, I don’t really taste that, but I’m keeping a few bottles around for a few years, we will see what develops.

12oz bottle thanks to Badbeer. Poura hazy light brown with light red highlights, very thin, crisp offwhite head. Smells deep and dark sweet fruity with some alcohol notes and some sweet wood as well. Tastes dark and sweet fruity malty with sherry alcohol notes and wood, sweet and dry. Medium body, good carbonation. Another winner from NG.
