Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of CaptainCougar. Clear amber golden with a rough, off-white head. Intense aroma of caramel, overripe fruit and alcohol. Full-bodied, overripe fruit and caramel with a vague yeasty edge - a fishy touch. The alcohol in the finish is a bit overdone. 300809

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is of molasses and candi sugar. Flavor is very sweet with some dark fruit and again more sugar. Very thick mouthfeel and almost too syurpy but there is nothing really offensive about this. A bit thin for a quad but there are enough Belgian things going on with this one to put it over the top.

From esjaygee, thanks Steve. Pours has a small head but it sticks around. Color of the beer is a thick, yet glowing, reddish-orange-copper. Cannot see through it but it looks beautiful. Aroma has a bit of that candy-ish, sweet syrup thing going but it isn’t bad here. Plays well, just there and not overbearing. Otherwise, there is sweet mallt and light alcohol coming through. It all works well together to represent an American version of a Quad. Taste is lightly fruity sweet syrup (not too sweet). Easy drinking yet full and alcoholic and sweet. So it balances the line fairly well. The problem is while it isn’t "bad" there isn’t coming from it. It is just a fruity, lightly sweet, strong ale. I would never really think of this as a quad. But for what it is, it is decent,
It is what is is..................................
12 oz bottle, Bells tulip glass.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a fading off-white head over a clear golden body. Aroma is sugary, grain, alcohol and plums. Taste is earthy, caramel and sugary with a good amount of alcohol and light fruit. Creamy palate.
