3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
1pt 9.4 fl oz bottle Wegmans.Cloudy dark amber hue with sediments of yeast floating about. Big fruity aromas, cherry, apple, raspberry, caramel, spicy hop undertone. Some aromas carry well to the flavors. Fruity like, with a little alcohol poking through, caramel in between, light wood, with a hint of spiced hops. Sweet, thick, slight bitter end. Would love pick up a bottle to age and see what a difference it would make!

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Appearance: I poured this from a bottle and it appeared a rich amber with some orangish hues. Tiny bubbles in the head. A good looking beer.
Smell: This Victory Belgian Quad had some very interesting fruit spiciness in the nose. One of my favorite things about the beer.
Taste: Big Belgian taste on the first sip, definite sweetness but not over the top.
Mouthfeel: Solid, full body that could have been too heavy but it wasn’t. Definite finesse points.
Drinkability: Great balance. Extremely pleasant aftertaste. I recommend giving this a try.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours clear copper color with off white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is fruity and bready. Moderately sweet fruit flavor with some caramel, dough and spices. Weird, medicinal aftertaste. Very boozy. The 12% ABV is not hidden at all. This really takes away from the enjoyment of the beer. Medium body with lively carbonation.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Off white head with an amber color pour. Smelled fruity, hoppy, slight spice. Taste: Warming, hoppy, an aftertaste I can’t describe - not sure if I like the aftertaste. Mouthfeel was medium to full bodied. Drinkability is decent.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a dark chestnut/amber color with visible carbonation bubbling up and a one finger creamy off white head that quickly settles into a thin ring. Minimal lacing.
The Belgian yeast strain provides a sweet dark fruit aroma with hints of plum, raisin, fig and dark berry. There’s also some slight maltiness and candy sugar.
Medium bodied with a stronger malt body than I expected with lots of sweetness from the dark fruit and strong alcohol presence. Hints of plum, dark cherry, grape, fig and raisin as well as some candy sugar but these flavors are overpowered by the strong alcohol flavor. ABV not well masked at all hurting this beers drinkabilitu. There is some subtle hops but this beer is too sweet and has too much of alcohol presence. Dry finish.
