Tons of smooth powdery cocoa chocolate, with the tiniest bit of wood. Raisin and plum in up front in the nose, and some in the finish as well. Fairly high carbonation. Ridiculous smooth. Great palate. A bit of an odd twang in the finish that was not so great. NagaMorich (11), Pakistan

Malty nose with spices and dark fruit. Flavour with malt, raisins and plums. Full bodied. Ends up more dry. A very enjoyable brew. guyinchicago (526), marengo, Illinois, USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Sep 16, 2009 did a head to head with this, the reserva and the grand reserva and this was my favourite. A very drinkable yet incredibly rich and flavourful brew. A slight wine character to it. Very fruity dark fruits. Awesome brew Hopper (295), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 14, 2009 2007 bottle. A dark brown beer that you can not see through with a tan head that disappears. The aroma is fruity & smells like wine. The taste is the same & has a major fruit punch taste that is vinuous, & sweet. This seems as if it has aged into a port/wine taste.

The flavour is very sweet, malt, spices, berries and liquorice. Aftertaste is sweet and vinous. Full-bodied and very smooth. jfb (413), Weihenstephan, Germany

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 6, 2009 Great head to start and leaves a dense thin layer of bubbles. Light lace. Dark brown and muddy.
Mild aroma of darker (perhaps crystal) malts, although it is hard to detect.
Strong waming, alcoholic taste--much like a fine sherry. Full bodied with a lower level of carbonation than many Quads. This is a very smooth beer. Worthwhile to seek out.
