An Abbot style Quadruple brewed with German Pils and Roast malts and Belgian Candi Sugar, hopped with German Tradition hops. Luscious and seductive, Ichor is brewed for both the body and the soul. This beer will improve with careful aging but is ready to drink now.

the beer is dark brown, almost black with no head. The aromas are of prunes, raisins, and a little caramel. There is a lot of raisin flavor with subtle carbonation.

Bottle received via trade with Beastiefan2k; thanks Eugene! Pours dark brown with a small, fizzy, light brown head, diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (caramel, nutty, bread), light hops (grass), heavy yeast (dough, leather) with notes of dates and cola. Full bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

On tap @ MrGoodbar, Buffalo NY. Pours a coca cola brown. Very light body & mouthfeel. Sweeter tasty caramel, sugary. Malts dominate here along with dried fruit & alcohol is well hidden. Taste seemed to be all over the place. Components for a decent quad seem to be but the batting order may have to be juggeled

Alot sweeter than what I had expected to be honest. It was tasty with some caramel coming through but overall it was nothing truly noteworthy other that what I wrote down already. Good alchohol burn in the finish but not long lasting.

A bit too sweet and not as balanced as ,say, St Bernardus. But for a Quad out of PA, this is a pretty good Quad. After reading the reviews, I was ready to bring this bottle back and exchange it. Very glad I didn’t.
