COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Massively big and delicious, QUAD is an elegant and dark ale. Rich with complexity and flavor, try savoring it after a long day or during a fine dinner. You also might enjoy it as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to a dessert, but QUAD stands alone quite well. We recommend enjoying QUAD in a brandy snifter or wineglass so you can drink in the aroma of this fine elixir.

Very nice aroma, cherry undertones. Flavor was very sweet, fruity. I was expecting more bite. Not my cup of tea.

The aroma is caramel, brown sugar, sweet, a little pepper and spice, yeasty. The appearance is a murky red/brown. The flavor is like the aroma, sweet, with the peppery flavor coming through from the belgian yeast strain. The finish is sweet, oine, peppper. Medium in body, oily mouthfeel. Good.

dcschiller (1453) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - JAN 28, 2012
(12oz bottle via trade). Pours a clear mahogany color with a small white head that falls to ring the glass. Active carbonation. Aroma has candied sugar, raisin and other dark fruits like date and some fig. Taste is sweet with some light bitterness and some warming heat. Medium bodied with a sticky/slick texture. Finish really fades quickly. Alcohol is controlled quite well. Pretty tasty, but it lacks depth that world-class quads have. Enjoyable.

boxofrane (199) - pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 18, 2012
Bottle poured into a St. Bernardus glass. Pours reddish brown with a small brown head. Smells very sweet.. some cherries.. raisins.. and maybe a bit of caramel. Taste is lightly bitter with a trail of sweetness. This is very enjoyable and the ABV seems impossible.. you can barely taste any alcohol heat in this. Definitely will buy again.

mnoud (25) - Martinsburg, West Virginia, USA - JAN 16, 2012
12 oz bottle in Chimay glass. Pours mid to dark orange, with quick to dissipate head, little to no lacing. Aroma is a bit fruity but not much, to my nose. Taste is quite good, and alcohol is very well hidden, almost undetectable. For some reason I was concerned I might be disappointed in this one, but quite the opposite - it’s quite good.

Locke (4) - New Jersey, USA - JAN 15, 2012 does not count
Drinking 12oz bottle. Pours burnt orange, caramel with quickly dissipating head and zero lacing. Rich, candied fruit, slight allspice, big malt component. This is a big beer at 11.8 ALC. Medium sweet on the mid palate. Lingering light sweetness and medium bitterness. Solid expression of the quadruple from a consistently good craft brewer.

Four case of 12 oz bottles VERY reasonable price. Pours a deep mahogany with a small off white head. Aroma is of old fruit, figs, alcohol, and cloves. Taste is very complex ranging from banana, figs, caramel malts, with a subtle hop finish. Palate is a little bit sticky but very drinkable. Overall another phenom from weyerbacher. Do buy... Cheers
