Bottle thanks to captaincougar. Drinking quite well right now. Pours with a small, off-white head that goes. Murky deep amber-brown body. Aroma is very boozy with brandy, plums, calvados, light soy, some slight carbonation and kirshwasser. Taste is malty and boozy with dark fruits, yeast, rum and biscuts. Syrupy mouthfeel, light bubbles, but quite thin for a quad.

Thanks to DocBrass on BA for this one. Taken from tasting notes. Pours bright orange with little head. Smell is fruity, slight cardboard, belgian yeast. Flavor is much of the same with a dominating fruity taste and a bit more of the cardboard/oxidation. The palate was pretty dissapointing; kind of flat already only after two years and kind of watery.

Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville - thanks to OldStyleCubFan for sharing! I’d like to have tried this beer when fresh, that’s for sure. The nose was strong fruity malts with some hints of smoke and peat in there that made me think this one was a strong Scotch ale masking as a quad. Typically warming malts emerged the deeper into it I got, but there was something slightly tart about this one, and I found the body to be too thin.

Pours a translucent solid copper with a thin orange head. The nose is lightly earthy, some belgian, warm, grainy, fruity. The flavor is lightly warm, fruity, a bit oxidized, basement malty taste. Warm palate. Age probably hasn’t done this well.
