Mar 27, 2009 Bottle. Mostly an earth yeasty smell with hints of caramel, bread, and dried fruit. Clear amber with an off white bubbly head. Medium sourness, light sweetness. Medium body, lively sparkling carbonation with a nice sweet finish where the cherries come through. Very well balanced beer and the alcohol is masked very well. Definitely try this beer.

Mar 27, 2009 Pours a reddish-brown with a big foamy tan head. Aroma is yeast, dark fruit, cherry, some caramel. Flavor is heavy malt up front which eases into the dark fruit flavor, and ends with a lingering bready spice to it. I like how the beer kind of works through the flavors as you taste it and it has a nice complexity to it. Pretty good stuff.

Mar 26, 2009 Limited head retention. Sweet but doesn’t cover noticeable bitterness; not overwhelmingly unbalanced though.
Generally sharp with dark fruits. Slightly thin mouthfeel. Almost tastes like wine; but not a very profound wine.

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.
