Bottle from puzzl. Thanks Andy. After removing the cage and prying out the firmly seated cork, this poured a deep red to amber color with virtually no head. Nose of sweet caramel malts and ripe fruit. Very greasy mouthfeel more like port wine than beer. Flavor is quite sweet, with raisins. Finish is long, sweet and full of malts. Kind of a sipping beer, but was as good at the finish as at the end. Overall very nice.

750ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with a ruby tine. Huge off-white head. Nose of vinous fruit and dark fruit. Taste of candied and over-ripe fruit. Mouthfeel is cloyingly sweet with slight alcohol and lots of carbonation. I like quads, but this was sweeter than I would have liked. Had wanted this one for awhile and was a little disappointed. Still decent.

Bottle from the Otown throwdown. Brown pour, no head. Aroma of molasses, syrup, raisin bread and yeast. Flavor is sweet as hell, raisins, prunes and this bottle was pretty flat. Too sweet.

This was a great Belgian beer and while I feel that my tastes have changed from Belgians, this one was still very good.

Thinner in appearance than I expected. Hazy brown, but by no means opaque. Complexity of flavor, dark roasts, hints of burnt coffee, real notes of sweet chocolate, malt, and a touch of alcohol but no real burn or heat. Some dried fruit complexity as well. Enjoyable, not remarkable, and not my favorite quad or my favorite strong beer. I called it a very small quad" in my tasting notes.
