Tap. Pours deep copper amber with a small tan head that laces minimally. Aroma is toffee, molasses, prunes, yeast. Flavor is the same, medium sweet and pruny with a strong warming finish.

Poured up on tap at GABF 2012 with a clear sort of penny copper body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma is full up dates and prunes and radishes and sugar-y sugar. The taste is the same as I get notes of prunes and dates and figs that are a tad on the harsh side somehow followed closely by brown sugar and booze. It seems to end a little saccharin like which is off putting. Hmm. Darn, I was really hoping to love this one. Glad I had a chance to try it.

On tap. Unfortunate they had to change the name to the current one. Pours with a clear, deep brown hued body with a tan head. Aromas are of dark fruits, molasses, leather, brown sugar and light chocolate. Complex yeast esters and malt interaction. Flavors are grainy, straw, complex, nutty, plum, dark fruit esters. Medium bitterness. Nice complexity. Medium to fuller carbonation. Sweet mid palate by a dry finish. Well contained alcohol hit.

Sample at GABF 10/11/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. Dark brown color with a thin light beige head and spotty lace. Sweet malt and dark fruit in the nose. Full, smooth body with earthy malt, caramel and plum flavor. Sweet finish with a lingering malty aftertaste. Pretty enjoyable overall.

Draught at Toronado S.D. Nose of caramel, spice, plums. Crimson tints in dark dark brown. Sweet dried fruit, spicy yeast, raisins, caramel in the falvor. A bit roasty, with a bitter dry finish. Too young and lacks punch. O.K., but not very impressive as a Quad. Would like to bottle age it for 2-3 years.
