| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 9, 2008 Chestnut color, creamy frothy head. Brown sugar and dark fruit nose. Roasted malt, dark fruit, oak, nutty and molasses flavor. Smooth finish. Highly recommend this one. One of my favorites to date. MrChopin (632), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 10/20 | May 9, 2008 Dark brown/red with off-white head. Scent was dominated by cherry and mild roast, and flavor followed, hints of roast being overpowered by excessive sweet fruit, like synthetic cherry. There were slight metallic hints. The palate was all-star, but that’s about it. Given the rating and hype, my experience was an unsatisfying one.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2008 75 cl corked bottle: Pours reddish brown with medium head. Sweet marshmallow aroma with notes of cherry stones and oak. Dry oaky flavour with notes of cherries and alcohol; taste a bit like port. Drinkable but not outstanding.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 9, 2008 Bottle - Pours a dark brown with light tan head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of cherry and chocolate. A very tasty beer with perfect carbonation and sweet malt flavor. The chocolate and mild cherry flavor really do well together. This is an outstanding beer and a good value. smith4498 (866), Miami, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2008 Pours hazy dark amber with light tan head. Aroma of yeast with a hint of sour cherries. Initial flavor is malty and finish is sour cherries and a slight metallic taste. Medium body with lively carbonation. OK, but not one I will be seeking to have again.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 7, 2008 The pour is a deep reddish brown, with a reasonable tannish head. The nose is true to all Belgian quads with notes of dark fruit, yeast, some malt, some nutty aromas, but all somewhat washed over by a sour cherry scent. The flavor is much like a combination of a decent quad mixed with a sour beer. While this makes for an interesting combination, the sour cherry detracts from what would otherwise be a good quad.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 7, 2008 Pretty nice red color. Nice head. A bit sour and and vinious taste with a bit of cherry in it. Aftertaste is a bit sour with some fruity notes,nothing special here. texasbartender (160), Sugarland, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 7, 2008 The beer pours a hazy brown with a light brown head that is mostly lasting. The sweet nose is laced with hints of nuts dark stone fruit and an underpinning of wood mixed with alcohol. The taste is in line with the nose, tasting of nuts, prunes, plums and alcohol. The finish is a dry mix of hops and malts. Overall a great beer.
