Bottle. Delicious looking dark brown with a beige head. Intense aroma and flavor with alcohol, brown booze, hot sauce, roasted malts, dark dried fruit and brown sugar. Lightly spiced, clove, star anise and cardamom. Not really much Quad left, but it's sure a tasteful and delicious brew. 949417 250921
