2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20750mL Bottle. Thanks for sharing, Rob. Aroma is candi sugar, crystal malt and light spice. Flavors roll out as RC cola, brewer’s licorice, and booze. This is very flat. It kind of tastes like the put the components together without fermenting it. Some candi sugar, steeped crystal malts, a bit of spice, and vodka. Glassy and artificial feeling. A far cry from the Belgian tradition.

I thought this was a very good beer. Very rich in flavor with a dark fruit undertone and a spice/caramel overtone.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
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.

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.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
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.
