330 ml bottle. Pours a dark mahogany with light head. Aromas of burnt sugar, golden raisins and sweet toasted malts. Flavors of earthy metallic Belgian yeast, burnt caramel, raisins and dried malts. Some light vegetal notes. Much like a lot of American Quads.

12 oz. bottle, pours a dep dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out lots of dark fruits, some caramel, and toasted bread malt. Flavour is very sweet, with lots of caramel malt sweetness upfront, followed by dark fruits, and toasted bready notes. Bordering on cloyingly sweet, but still quite nice in small quantities. Not an authentic quad, but still solid.

750 ml bottle, bottled on 2014-12-22. Held this a tad longer then I wanted too. Lightly cloudy brown color with lasting head retention and lacing. Aroma is dried autumn leaves with a mild spice. Weak yeast.
Flavor has a sustainable yeast character through out the sip. Notes of figs, Christmas spice, caramel candy. As it warmed I got notes of raisins. Held up nice for a near 2 year old bottle! Pretty drinkable and pleasing.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Cloudy amber color, no head. Sweet malt syrup with loads of bubblegum esters, and some vegetables. This one missed Belgium by 5000 miles (the ocean).

Draft - Drak malts and light dark fruit. Cloudy dark copper with a small white head. Dark fruit and raisin with a long finish. Not bad, but nothing on the Begians.

On tap at St. Augustines on Rare Beer Tap Takeover. Aroma is dark fruits, slighlty bready, some alcohol notes. Same taste. Surpisingly quite pleasant American version of Quad, Belgian ones are better though, of course :-)

Sample at Pint Room Littleton. Dark reddish-amber color with a medium thin fizzy off-white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of malt, caramel and yeast. Medium to full body with flavors of caramel malt, fruit and yeast. The finish is sweet with a dark fruit aftertaste. Above average overall.

Sampled at the brewery, 11/25/15. Darker reddish color with a thin beige head. Light dark fruit aroma and flavor with some underlying boozy notes. Finishes slightly sticky with a nice complex maltiness. I agree that this would pair poorly with scissors.

750ml bottle - I appreciate their attempt at keeping this from becoming the one-dimensional, sticky malt booze bomb most American versions of the style become - pours a turbid dark Amber - pleasant yeast complexity in the nose (pepper, clove, dusty basement) atop toffee, dark bread, raisin - some sniffs resemble a weizenbock more than a quad, but anyway, a decent start - soft, low carbonation in the mouth - sweet, but not cloyingly so, with notes of toffee and plum - this is tempered by a spicy and earthy yeast profile - finish gets some alcohol heat, but for the most part its well-masked throughout - malt character gets a slight medicinal quality as it warms, and the alcohol comes through a little more on the tail end - decently done.

Bottle thanks to arminjewell, shared at Anchorage tasting June ’15: Poured an orange copper with white head. Aroma is smoke, grape jelly fruit. Taste was strong fruit, malt and alcohol.
