Notes of dark fruits and nut with a strong, boozy finish
2024 description: We originally made this beer for our 4th birthday, but according to our Brewer Shaun, this is "the best beer we've ever brewed" so, of course, we brought it back!
A classic quad, packed with dark fruit and nut aromas and a bold malty caramel character. As 'Belgian Quad', 10.4% in 2020
As 'Anniversary Quad', 10.9% in 2024

355mL can [at 8.5%]. Pours clear brown with a minimal beige head. Lots of bready malts, brown sugar and toffee on the nose. Flavour has burnt toast, dry dark sugars, dried dark cherries and currants, and a toffee malt base. Sweet up front, but drier on the finish. Low to moderate carbonation. Not taking full advantage of the Belgian yeast, but still an enjoyable malt-forward strong beer.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Dark amber colour; the head disappears quite quickly. Aroma of candi sugar, roses, alcohol, a bit perfumey. Good body, it's moderately sweet; caramel flavour, without much malt depth; the yeast profile is mildly spicy, and fortunately it's not the common American/Belgian yeast; the alcohol is a bit too evident. Overall, if not very complex, at least it's clean. Good.

330mL can, pours a clear dark amber with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out toasted caramel, Belgian yeast, toasted chestnuts, and bready malt. Flavour is moderately sweet, with toasted cherries, caramel, bready malt and some brown sugar. Not an authentic quad, but it's a nice malty strong ale that's well-balanced enough. Solid.

Faint malt on the nose, no alcohol detectable which is good but nothing else either. Good deep ruby brown body and decent foam. Flavour is sweet raisin, some molasses, mellow brown sugar. Nice soft finish and no sign of the booze. Quite enjoyable.
