Draft at Capone’s: pours a dark reddish-brown with no real head, sweet aroma and taste, a little too sweet for me for this style.

Sep 6, 2008 Bottle, 2008 Pre-GBBF Chris_o Shindig. Rusty brown, lots of butter-colored head. Rose petals, mint, pears. Heavy raisin sweetness, a bit of iron. Not really bad, but far too thick and sweet for a quad.

Sep 5, 2008 Cola in colour with a bit of brown, a large lingering off-white coloured head, excellent lacing. The aroma is malty, quite sweet, rich with a bit of noticable alcohol, lots of dark fruits. The flavour is of candy sugar, lots of malt, again quite sweet, smooth, creamy, light alcohol. Very sweet mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes long, sweet, malty.
Highly sweet but it didn’t seem to take anything away from what the beer was offering. Nowhere near the amount of alcohol that I was expecting. This one would age very well.

Sep 4, 2008 Bottle at chris_o’s poison arrow through my ass tasting. Alround tasting: Sweet, very sweet, fruity, candy sugar, alright. But seems to be lacking the right type of yeast to make it a very charactable(?) quad.

Sep 1, 2008 Chris_o’s GBBF Shindig August 08. 9.9% abv. Yeasty muddled aroma. Sugary sweet. A pleasant enough beer - feels like an imitation Belgian ale, which is what it is! Too sugary for my taste. But I’m not a fan of yeasty, sugary Belgian ales anyway.
