3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
.33l bottle in Queens, NYC. Dark, firm brown with foamy head. Deep Belgian appearances. Warming hops and warming caramel around the body of this beer. Robust balanced sweets and matls; hops have a say on the balance. Nice bbeer, this could be a dream beer if I could ever decide on what my ideals are. This is nice enough to have hit that mark. It is clearly good and tasty

Pours a cloudy brown amber with flecks of barley matter floating. Aromas of bread and spicy banana. Mouthfeel is decent. A bit of carbonation and spice adversely affect the palate. Ripe grape, date, and brown sugar. Not a Rochefort 10 or a Westy XII.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy dark copper coloured beer with a small light brown head. The taste is sweet malty, raisin and fig. The aroma is chocolate, malty raisin and cocoa. Quite good.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours reddish amber with a beige head. Some fruitiness on the nose. Some sweetness into the mouth and initially on the swallow, along with a touch of bitterness, ending with a subtle sweet aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
2011 12 FL. OZ. bottle. Unclear red copper, some small floaties, foamy tan head settles into a lasting creamy cap. Aroma of sour cherries, yeast, and rich sweet roasted malt. Thick caramel dark roasty malt taste, tart cherry, dark fruits and yeasty funkiness. Potent, deep and complex. Average carbonation, medium -full bodied, low hopped. Long lingering warm port-ish aftertaste. Nice enough, but why the hefty pricetag? DNFL (Definately Not For Lagerboys)
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. This is the first Ommegang beer I've had, but it definitely seems like a pretty great place to start. Great take on a quad, and the small cherry addition is a nice touch.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750mL bottle. Pours a dark brownish amber, slight head. Nose is dried fruit (dates and figs predominant) cherries and malt, some hints of yeasty funk. Mouth is full, slightly tart and bitter up front, then some slight sweetness from malts, lots of caramel and toffee along with dried fruit notes (those cherries are most notable on the back end) and some bakers chocolate near the finish. Nice.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at home. Pours black with generous khaki head. Aroma is sweet, dark fruits. Delicious malty taste with a touch of cherry and booze. Dry finish. A unique and tasty quad.
