On tap at the local option. Pour is a dark brown with a creamy beige head. Nice retention and lacing on this one. As expected, a spicy fruity nose. Nice creamy head; leather, dark fruits, Belgian sugars, mild bitterness, and simple maltiness. This brew is of course fantastic, and it just meshes perfectly from one element to another

330ml bottle. Dark mahogany with a minimal tan head and a quick ring of lace. Roasted barnyard, hickory smoke and licorice on the nose. Everything but the barnyard follows over with some sugar pie and a long warming finish. Retarded good.

2008 bottle. Aromas of raisin, plum, and caramel malt. Flavor is very similar with dark fruits, spices, and sweet malt flavors. This bottle was super carbonated, and I would like to revisit it.

Thanks to Dan for this. Pours a very dark brown with a thinning off white fizzy head. Aroma is raisin, plum, malt and alcohol. Taste is just a gluttony of flavours. Purple fruits, plums, raisins. Sweet spices and dark malts with a hint of chocolate. Nice carbonation tickles your palate. What a glorious drink.

Wow, what an incredible beer. Pours a deep, dark reddish brown with amazing aromas of fresh fruit. This beer is very active and fruity, sweet, tangy, malty, spicy with some yeast. The 10 plus percent alcohol is completely masked by complexity and deliciousness of this ale. Wonderful. I’ve had Wild Pannepot, and I am one of only 68 raters. Had it on draft at Ebenezer’s in Maine, and somehow this one is better. Definitely one of the top 50 beers!

2007 brew. big dark brew, but very murky, kinda composted tea in colour. this brew demands attention. big complex farmhand notes. roasted, hickory smoke, licorice, super complex, i can smell this all this all night long and get something different. brown sugar. on the palate it is super complex, very sugar pie (yes I am french canadian but not from quebec), complex brew! very appealing. I’m amazed. slightly boozy finish but i’m surprised by the balance of this brew. again, it is slightly different on each sip. Wonderful! light out top beer ever.

2007 Vintage G: Poured into a Mikasa chalice. A: Very dark mahogany with hints of ruby and a large, slightly-reddened head with lots of lacing. Some sediment present. S: Yeast character as well as some sweetness-perhaps cherries. T: Very strong flavors from the outset. Taste hits hard with plenty of dark fruits, spices, and cherries. Also, hints of chocolate. M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. The 10% abv is hardly present. D: Quite complex and very drinkable. As of yet, by far the best quad that I’ve had.
