Aug 11, 2009 Bottled - dark red color with decent golden head. Smelled of chocolate, cherries and fruit. Tasted coffee (?), chocolate, cherries and an underlying spice....I liked it - it reminded me of a home-brew we made last winter that had a little too much sugar (boom!).

Aug 9, 2009 Big bottle. Aroma was fruity with raisin and plum. Pour was a golden brown with thin head and good lacing. Malt and plum and raisin and caramel fused with alcohol at the end. Strong presence on the palate. Many quads have a hard time balancing the high alcohol with enough other flavors to make it enjoyable. Not a problem with this one.

Aug 8, 2009 Pours an odd dark amber with medium off-white head, decent lacing. Couldn’t keep yeast out of pour despite 2 month sit in fridge. Aroma of tart fruit, strong toasted malt, caramel, yeast, and lots of spice. Flavor matches well, but just doesn’t come together in my opinion. Drinkable, complex, but just not my style.

Aug 7, 2009 Pours a hazy amber color with a substantial tan head. Aroma is of yeast, fruits, and perhaps some spices. Cherry is rather present, as would be expected, but cloves and cinnamon are also there, if in the background. A very intriguing beer.

Aug 7, 2009 Pours a lasting ring of beige head and a hazy, copper color body. Smells of dried fruit, yeast, and tart cherries. Same flavor. Nice carbonation and body. Nice finish.

Aug 6, 2009 2008 bottle. Nose is pretty boozy, but a generous swirl brings out musty cherries, bourbon wood and a healthy dose of sugar. Flavor is Cherry and brown sugar upfront, with a boozy middle and a nice sharp finish with the malt showing through. Not a lot of complexity for the style, but the flavors that are there a nicely done. Would like to try it with a couple years age on it and see the difference.

Aug 2, 2009 Poured into a Chimay glass.
The color is a nice dark amber.
The smell is cherries, some barely flavor. Is sweet with a light malt flavor.
The taste is sweet sugar with a nice dark cherry taste. Some hints of malt, a little grain and some brown sugar.
My first Belgian quad and it was a great experience. The mouth feel to this beer was nice and light and was easy going down. Overall it was memorable beer experience.
