Mar 4, 2009 Never have had much of a taste for quads. Strong alcohol taste is prevalent with a slight taste of cherry to finish.

Mar 4, 2009 2005 bottle - I’ve had many of these over the years, but I thought this one deserved a rating. Darker brown color with a cherry-heavy aroma that features, caramel, candy, vinous fruits, and yeast. Flavor is pleasantly cherry-ish with lots of tartness, dark sugar, yeast, and some vinousness. Nice feel. Overall, a solid quad that never seems to telegraph its true strength.

Mar 1, 2009 (bottle from Skyview) Pours a medium, hazy, reddish brown with just a thin off-white head. Aroma is musty and filled with cherry skin right away, but the maltier scents of caramel appear along with another smell that reminds me of a barbeque sauce. There’s a constant shifting between the cherry and the malt here, and it’s a pretty pleasant effect. The taste isn’t nearly as strong of cherry as I would’ve guessed from the smell, and there’s a lot of sweet caramel in here. Some sweet cherry appears mid-palate. Only upon the beginning of the finish do I get the spike of tart cherry skin, and the finish itself imparts a taste of crushed peanuts with a bit of bread. The mouthfeel is medium, and the carbonation is a bit too spritzy for the style. This is pretty good, and it’s definitely an interesting take on a quad. Thanks Bob!

Feb 28, 2009 What a fantastic beer. Hints of cherries and spice in the aroma. Flavor is great balance between tart cherries, yeast, and some other hints of tart fruit. Body is very light and crisp. Alcohol is nearly undetectable. Overall, this is a great beer to sip and enjoy anytime of the year.

Feb 26, 2009 On tap from Stuff Yer Face. I nice dense head and cloudy reddish-gold pour. The sweetest smelling quadrupel I’ve tried with a solid amount of yeasty earthiness worked in as well. The taste was wonderful! The heaviness from the alcohol wasn’t off-putting because I was too wrapped up in working out some of the subtle flavors of this strong brew. These flavors included a certain tartness as well as that classic quadrupel
