Generally, I am not a huge fan of Belgian Ales and much prefer IPAs. However, this was really good. Noticeable Belgian yeasts with dark fruits with a strong plum flavor. Nice carbonation and minimal head.

Bottle. Smells of plum, raisins and yeast. Tastes of the same with a bit of alcohol. Very good.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
tap at Dash In back in March - Pours dark amber and has a pleasant aroma of dark fruit and bready malt. It tastes very sweet with plum character and some alcohol. This full bodied brew has a sweet finish with some lingering alcohol. It’s good though not a great quad that would challenge something like Rochefort.

12 ounce bottle from Decicco Ardsley. Rish dark brown with tan head and lace. Aroma of caramel wood raisins licorice old furniture. Rich burnt caramel fig rich fruity sweetness with medium tobacco bitter finish with some ash and licorice and herbal hops or nutmeg or something. Very complex and full bodied. Excellent.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A very nice quad. Pours a dark maroon/black, a little muddy. Smells awesome, some fruit, black cherries, and even some wine. Taste is similar, a little boozy. Quite good however. Had at Downtown Joes.

Draft in snifter. Intense plum on the nose. Dark sticky fruit taste. Pretyy goo, but maybe I need to drink more to appreciate it.
