At the source: pours light brown with a small head. Aroma is dark fruits and yeastiness. Not a super powerful quad. Somewhat sweet with a good deal of flavor. Nice aftertaste. Good, but far from great in this vaunted style.

Pours a dark brown with very little head from a bottle. Oaky rum aroma continues in the mouth. Nicely alcholic with a slight burn on the finish, otherwise a little sweet, big mouthfeel. Pretty good beer.

Oh my, low expectation, a Texas quadrupel? My bad. Bought on a wing and a prayer at Total Wine in Frisco, TX. It pours into my tulip glass with an inky blackness and a very slight, tan, skim of head. It offers a decent nose, plum, currant, a hint of floral. As good as that is the taste improves. Deep dark fruit, a slice of dark chocolate, a light spiciness and an acknowledgement of the alcohol. Carbonation almost nonexistent, no complaining on that, just the way it is. No question this is the best domestic quad I have had. It challenges the Belgians. Just check my ratings.

2012 Batch 002 Bottle #1187. The beer pours a murky dark brownish-amber color with a medium foamy light beige head that dissipates gradually to a film. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malt, fruit and yeast. Full-bodied with flavors of dark fruit, earthy yeast and grainy malt. The finish is sweet with a fruity yeast aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle bought by a colleague who recently visited Houston. (thanks Wolff) Dark amber with a small head. Nothing special with this one. Dryish with dried fruit, some nuts and caramel. Warming alcohol in the finish.

This should be "Monks". 750 c&c from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark ruddy copper with a 3 finger foamy beige head. Aroma of dark roasty malt with dark fruit. Full bodied. Flavor is some rum spice, with indications of chocolate, and raisins or similar. I’d prefer plum/prune, but this works. Finishes just less than dry. No problem with alcohol (except in the brain). Good quad.
