Bottle @ Cigar City Brewing’s Hunahpu release. Pours hazy dark golden orange color with white head. Aromas of dark fruits and bread dough. Doughy flavor with some raisins and figs. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Thanks to JW77 for sharing this.

750ml ’growler’ at the DC local tasting. Pours a clear, transparent copper amber with one ring of white head. Aroma is boozy, dried fruits, caramel. Flavor is nice, sweet, a little boozy, apples, pears, a little candy. Full bodied and drinkable even at 11%.

Tap at Barcade. A solid quad. Pours a light red with a fine white head. Nose of slightly funky yeast and sweet fruits. Flavor is a balanced blend of fruits, spice, malt and Belgian yeast. Medium bodied and high in alcohol, this alcohol warms. Sweet and slightly bitter finish.

Finally got to this unfortunately not the aged batch I hoped for but beggars can’t be choosers. Snifter @ Ginger Man. Color is a glowing dark orange/light copper, cannot see through it. Aroma is strong alcoholic malts with some indistinct hops. It is sweet and lightly syrupy. Taste follows suite with the sweet and syrupy and a thin alcohol maltiness. Basically, its a Sixpoint without the hops. Not really sure what makes this a Quad either.

This beer has eluded me for quite some time, and now I’ve finally found it, in the form of a growler fill from Big Z - anyway, it certainly is quite light in color for a quad - actually, nothing about this beer is like a quad - BSA, sure - the nose is coriander, tangy citrus and cereal grains - the flavor is quite the same - a lot of grainy flavor - equal parts wheaty tang and boozy sweetness - the alcohol burns a little bit, but is still fairly hidden - a touch of bitter herbs - mostly just grainy and boozy, with a touch of overripe fruit sweetness- the wheat and clove phenols remind one of an imperial hefe - a bit messy, and not true to style, but an interesting beer.

Dark amber-brown colour. Big toffee, fig and peach aroma. Surprisingly lightish in flavour, given the size of the brew. There are hints of caramel, a light plasticy note.. Clean, flavourful but not as dynamic as the aroma promised me.
