May 26, 2009 750mL bottle courtesy of WeeHeavySD poured into a snifter.
Pours a murky brownish amber with a decent tan head that shows good retention and a little lacing.
The aroma is massively sweet. It’s got lots of candi sugar and a caramel sweetness with plenty of dark fruits. This is slightly balanced by a hint of peppery spiciness.
The taste is thick with caramel and sugary sweetness. Lots of boozy dark fruits which leave a lingering sweetness in the finish along with a slight alcohol burn and a bit of spices.
The mouthfeel is medium with strong carbonation and a sugary sweetness that lingers on the palate.
This is a solid quad though it’s definitely heavy on the sweetness and it definitely limits the drinkability with such an overwhelming sugar and sweet fruit presence.

May 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear dark brownish-red with a small light tan-orange head. Big sweet-sharp aroma, of malt, spices, dark fruits, brown sugar, wood, alcohol. Rich taste, quite sweet and spicy, of dark fruits, molasses, wood, and a bit of an alcohol bite. Lingering sticky sweetness. Very nice.

May 19, 2009 Darker brown color with an aroma of plum, sugar, and cinnamon-spice. Flavor has a sweet and spicy mix with dark fruit, sweet malt, and a solid finish. Just OK for a quad, but really unique.

May 17, 2009 Bottle from the amazing Hi Time Wines. Pours very dark with minimal, quick-dissipating head. Lacing is moderate. Very malty and fruity smell. Malty flavoring, a bit over powering. An interesting, almost fruity finish.

May 12, 2009 Bottle at the “Drink for Charity” event at Rattle & Hum. Pours a hazy brown with a thin white head. Vanilla and fruit on the nose. Plums, cherry, and a chewy malt character. Dry and malty finish.

May 10, 2009 Bottle shared by Max. Pours a mahogany body with a white head. Very sweet with pear and banana like esters and boozy spiciness. Apple core and alcohol. I got tired of writing.

It pours heavy, very heavy. Thick, and shockingly amber. With a thick tan head that quickly compresses to a foam puddle.
It smells of apples and stone fruits.
It is incredibly creamy for a Quad. I have never had a quad that was similar. Lots of different fruit flavors, slightly hot with booze. Not very well balanced. I dont taste the belgian yeast I expect in a quad.
