BB 2006... Cap came off with the loudest pop I’ve ever heard. It poured a hazy orange brown color with a medium sized, creamy, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, banana, caramel malt, light roast, vanilla, and yeast. Taste of caramel malt, citrus, dried fruits, honey, spices, and a peppery alcohol finish.

Draft at Monks Cafe in Philly. Nice solid beer. Good malt flavor all the way through. Alcohol was hidden very well.

UPDATED: NOV 29, 2005 This big beer hides its alcohol strength very well. The beer is hazy and gold. The white head isvery large, rocky, and long lasting. The simple aroma is mostly of light fruit; similar to a tripel. The flavor is fruit as well, but much richer with a powerful sweet taste. No alcohol flavor at all. There was a light spice I couldn’t pick out. For a beer of this strengh there is great balance and the alcohol is hidden nicely.

Ya know, belgian. Plum, pineapple, slightly vinous, very fruity & doughy nose. Somewhat cloudy orange body. Flavor is orange & clove but not super deep. Pears, yeast, alcohol, fruit, pineapple. Overwhelming alcohol. Too orangey.

Really,really effervescent.It almost bubbles the taste right off your tongue.You have got to pay good attention to the esters or you might miss them due to the bubbles carrying the flavors right down your throat before you taste it.Nose is mildly fruity with some aromatic spices.No where near any of the other BIG quads but there is that Belgian yeast that lends some kiwi and papaya flavors.
