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.

750 ml bottle from Tavour batch 014 BO 3/14/16. Nose is light vanilla, toffee, raisins, bubblegum, and light tobacco. Clear rusty red with a small beige head. Flavor is sweet vanilla caramels with nuts and a hint of rum.

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.

Bottle. Dark brown color, small beige head, decent lacing. Aroma of raisins, plums, vanilla. Taste is vanilla and Christmas fruitcake. Decent.

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.
