COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
So simple in its creation, so magnificent in its maturity, this wonderful ale begins with Nature's most humble offerings, water, malted grains and hops. Our soulful yeast breathes life and depth into each brew. The steady hand of time orchestrates this alchemy into the splendid ale before you. Cheers!

Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a small quickly fading white head that leaves minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet malt, light caramel, light fruit, and alcohol. Taste is the same as aroma. Full mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and warm but never hot alcohol. Very good.

13 months in the bottle. Clear copper color with a fleeting head. Nice cotton candy sweet, mildly boozy smell. Med. bodied with a prickly mouthfeel. A tangy, citrusy fruit taste stays tart to the end. Finishes as a boozy gut warmer. As the brew warms the flavor turns syrupy sweet. Belgians are still masters of the Quads. 92205(82704 bot)

Angeloregon (2054) - Portland, Oregon, USA - FEB 4, 2008
From a 750ml bottle--Poured a deep amber-copper body with a thick white head. Nose of candy sugar and Belgian yeast. Apply and bitter sweet. Some bubblegum hints in there, too. Strong burst of alcohol in finish as beer warmed up. Very nicely constructed brew.

Beershine (4561) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - FEB 1, 2008
Hey Big Boy, strong and powerful. Deep ruby jewel tone crowned by an inch of thick white foam. Nose is candy, watermelon, apple, and floating alcohol. Slick, soft mouthfeel. Flavor is cherry pie filling. One dimensional. A potent sipper but lacks the depth and complexity to make it a compelling beer. The backbone makes me think it’d be a good one to verticalize.

Big boy bottle thanks to TikiE. Poured a strange hazy orange color. My half of the beer did not contain the sediment like my roomates, because he got the last pour. Aroma of yeast, caramel, plum and scotch alcohol presence. Great beer for a belgium style, Once again, Victory hasn’t let me down yet!!!!

Amazing smell, smells a bit like the Rochefort 10, and reminds me of a nice Chimay! Nice froathy head that disapears quickly the appearance is unique with a nice hazy orangish color with lots of sedement. Glad I got this one, need to hit up the local beer and wine store more often!

A great abbey style beer. Pours golden amber with a small white head. Aroma is of malt with a good dose of hops. You can definitely taste the 12%, but to me that’s not a bad thing. Wonderful mix of malt and hop flavors. Another success by Victory.

SQNfan (591) - Wheaton, Illinois, USA - JAN 24, 2008
Copper in color with a bit of red. The nose is filled with bread dough, caramel, banana, orange zest, baking spices and malt. In the mouth the beer has very solid weight and a lingering finish. The flavors follow that of the nose and linger on the finish. This is a wonderful beer that hides its 12% alcohol and is dangerously drinkable. While it may improve with bottle aging, it drinks great now.
