Incredibly boozy, lots of wet paper notes, and astringent cereals, with dry bitter fruit. Boozy warming finish, wet paper, apples and burnt brown sugar. What a mess.

Bottled, from LCBO, Ottawa. Dark brown, small head. Aroma of molasses and caramel. Very sweet with full body and rounded, sticky mouthfeel. Grainy with aniseed, sake and molasses, brown sugar and caramel. Peppery finish with evident alcohol. Bold and brash. Disharmonious.

Bottle: Poured a deep copper color ale with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry raisins and candi sugar with some caramelized malt is enjoyable. Taste is also a good mix of candi sugar, dry fruits and caramelized sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol notes. Enjoyable but lacking some of the depth that the staple of this style have.

Pours a deep copper colour with some ruby-amber highlights The head is mocha coloured with decent retention, minimal lacing. Dark fruit aromas with some chocolate malts. Also notes of maple syrup in the nose, as well as in the flavours. Hints of grassy hops, nuttiness. Again, dark fruits. Not your Belgian complexe Quad, but a good one nonetheless.

This one poured a deep black colour with a light tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include very ripe fruit, very mild vinegar and light alcohol. First swig was velvety smooth with flavours of ripe fruit and rich malts. Finish was thick with an almost wine flavour and malty goodness lingering. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
