UPDATED: JAN 1, 2022 Decadence 2012 OG, drank on NYE 2021. This has held up fairly well, with plenty of raisin and plum, spicy yeast, and sweetness lasting through the finish.

UPDATED: SEP 7, 2020 Quarantine Beer #090 sampled at home on 04/28/2020, as Decadence 2012. Dark amber pour with mahogany around the edges and a medium beige head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruit, yeast, malt and caramel. Full-bodied with flavors of Belgian yeast, caramel malt, earthy hop and a bit of chocolate. The finish is dark fruits and yeast. Good beer all around.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2020 Bottle thanks to Kyle! Pours a clear deep amber brown with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dark fruits and dates with some Belgian yeast and a sweet grain backbone. Flavor has dark grains and a nice raisin note with a bit of Belgian yeast and dark fruits supporting.

2012 bottle. Dark brown pour with aroma of fig, raisin, and plum. Dark fruit flavors dominate with some bread and spice. Excellent beer.

On draft at Tap 25. It pours a dark brown color with no head. The aroma is very fruity with raisin, fig and plum. The flavor is thick and bready with light spicy yeast notes, intense raisin, plum and fig. Some fruit cake. The alcohol is pretty well hidden, but the body is very heavy. Good for the style.

Decadence 2012 version, 750ml bottle. Sampled: 8/19/16 Appearance: Dark translucent brown, thin beige head, and surprisingly no sediment. Aroma: Dark fruits & spice (reminiscent of Cognac), unmistakably Belgian yeast, slightly earthy & herby. Taste: Arrives with a blend of herbs, spice, & licorice. The middle reminds you that it’s a Belgian ale by bringing out a lot of earthy yeast with some cinnamon. Finishes with some dark chocolates, salted caramel, raisins, & dates; the dark fruits lasts a long time to create a lingering sherry wine note. Overall, it’s very close to what Olde Ale was. Palate: Medium body, smooth, and slick; no carb; and quite hot with booze (I mean, it’s 12%). Overal: Simply put, it’s a delicious quad that rivals any famous, legendary Belgian quad. The flavors, balance, & complexity are all there! The only thing missing is the yeast sediment of bottle-conditioning; that would’ve made it a proper beer to cellar away.

See thru almost black color. Draft pour at Jerrys. Fig, raisin, Carmel, grape, and vanilla. Good shit. Very complex
