Mar 26, 2009 Updated: May 26, 2009Yummy! Aroma of malt, dark chocolate and cherries. Flavor is more of the same, plus raisins, plums, belgian yeast and a little alcohol. I love a good quad and this one is fantastic.

Mar 25, 2009 Looks great in the glass and the aroma was pungent and appetizing. I think this beer is too bold in the flavor and alcohol departments, and it is not very refined because of that. Perhaps this is a brew that could use some aging, but the sweetness of the alcohol is what dominated the palate for me.

Mar 24, 2009 Dégusté avec Agaguk, Pyrozoid. Apparence cuivré foncé avec reflet rouge limpide et une belle mousse beige qui colle un peu au verre. Aromes de chocolat suisse, fromage gouda fumé, raisins rouge, prunes, mures. Explosion d’amertume et de sucré bien balancé au debut avec une finition tres vélouté. Corps tres rond et bien rempli avec une bonne effervescence. Gout de fruits des champs, pommes rouge, miel, cassonade et chocolat. Rien d’extraordinaire mais tres bien balancé.

Mar 24, 2009 Bouteille de 750 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler et agaguk. Bière de couleur ruby avec un mince collet collant. Odeur de sucre, son, bananes, un soupçon d’alcool. Saveur d’épices, cerises, bananes, un peu le sel et réglisse.

Mar 23, 2009 In my opinion Ommegang’s worst offering - and their most expensive. Dark chocolate and cherries, but in a strange way.

Mar 21, 2009 750ml. 2008 bottle. Poured in too much yeast, glass is murky but still looks nice mahogany and rich. Dregs boost the yeasty aroma, which is also vineous, a little hot, and with tonnes of ripe fruit, just loads of it. Smooth soft carbonation. Deceptively drinkable, quite smooth. Great breadlike background adds depth, complexity, and solidity to the fruit-forward brew. Some wet wood character and a lingering sour cherry finish. Nice stuff, nice balance of flavors, stronger than it seems.

Mar 15, 2009 Subtle aroma of cherries and vodka. Looks very murky, hazy with good, but thin head retention. Flavor is a mix of dark fruit and brown sugar with some alcohol on the back. Palate is great, smooth, full body and creamy. Overall, very enjoyable beer that drinks like a strong dark belgian with a dark cherry twist.

Mar 13, 2009 Excellent aroma, had me excited until the first drink. Strong burnt dark chocolate flavor. No hint of cherry, would be good as a mixer, but at this price not worth it.
