Inspired by the Trappist brewers of Belgium, our heavyweight Quadruple tips the O.G. scales at 25 degrees P. Master Brewer, Daniel Carey, sourced the Brett yeast that boldly frames this refined and complex strong ale. First coddled in our Oak lager tanks and then slowly matured in bourbon barrels. This is a bold beer that sips like a refined cordial of nutmeg, dried cherries and vanilla. Perfect for lying down or sipping by the fire tonight.

Bottle courtesy of allendodd. Cheers man! Pours a hazy darkish amber with a slight white head. Interesting aroma of dark fruits and kandi. Full bodied with creamy/frothy carbonation. Flavor is caramel with fruit. Mild spice. Think I’m getting some oak. It’s quad tending towards barley wine. Dellcious, but finishing slightly sweet. Brett? Maybe that’s what’s cutting the sweet. It’s like nothing I’ve ever had. Too bad it’s retired.

12oz bottle generous gift bottle courtesy of CaptainCougar....thanks man! glowing red-brown color, looks filtered. Small foamy head that coats the edges of the snifter. Sweet buttery cognac-like aroma. Wow, this is a really great Quad. Has all the authentic thick sugar and yeast qualities of a Belgian or Dutch version, with the added complexity of some mellow Brett. Some refined vanilla oak smoothness as well. I didn’t really pick it up at first, but the bourbon barrels also shine a little. A complex awesome beer. Wow.

Bottle thanks to iowaherkeye. Another Unplugged Series beer with Brett. I am excited. Pours with a large off-white fluffy head over a hazed, pretty copper-amber hue. Aroma is sweet with pear, brett, oak tannins, vanilla, plums, tangerine, and dried milk. Taste is caramel, cotton candy, dried apricot, vanilla, dried cherries, and horseblanket. Interesting. Well hidden alcohol, thick, light bubbles. Good stuff

Bouteille 12oz, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur cuivrée foncée et claire. Nez fruité (pommes, léger de poires et de raisins), malté sucré (léger de sucre bonbon) moyennement boisé (fût de chêne), léger d’alcool. Moyenne-ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture crémeuse et aux notes sirupeuses. Goût fruité (moyen de pommes aux notes cidreuses, de raisins blancs aux notes vineuses et de cerises vieillies, traces de poires et de figues), moyen de vanille et avec des notes épicées (notes de cannelle et de clou de girofle) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté (léger de sucre blanc avec des notes de sucre bonbon et de caramel toffee) ainsi qu’un léger goût de pain. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve un moyen goût d’alcool réchauffant jusqu’en finale, où on note également la présence d’une légère aigreur fruitée (raisins et pommes) ainsi qu’un goût boisé (fût de chêne) légèrement asséchant. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyennement boisé (fût de chêne), légèrement amer d’alcool doux et avec une très légère aigreur fruitée fruitée (moût de raisins vineux et de cerises, pelures de pommes).

[i] [b] Bottle shared with Casey, Tracey and Loz at a great American beers tasting evening 11-04-08 hosted by Casey and Tracey, cheers mate! [/i] [/b] Wonderful stunning coppper colour with great clarity. Some sourness on the nose and also a lovely wafting noble rot lingering scent gently carresses the nostrils, mmmhhh... Loz got copper pipes and I can see what she meant. The sweetness, mostly honeylike rushes in with some light alcohol. There is a constant battle going on here between the sweet and sour with the sweetness always going to win through in the end. The yeast is also there both on the aroma and also coming through on that bed of sweetness which by the way is never cloying or sticky. Tatse is more barley wine like than a Quadruple, but call it what you want it’s really good.

Bottle. Fantastic bonus from Degarth. Pours a chestnut brown w/ small head and no retention. Sour yeasty aroma of apples and oak. Yeast comes through in the taste as well, with a nice fruitiness. Alcohol is hidden well. Very nice.

Dark orange/amber with a diminished head of off-white. Funky Belgian aroma. The sweetness overpowers the things going on with the malt and hops in this one.

12 ounce Bottle from pantanap, Thanks Kan! nose has a note of horseblanket, vanilla, fruits, and spices; clear copper with a small beige head; flavor shows alcohol, a smidgeon of bretty horseblanket, nutmeg, oak, light bourbon, and some pumpkin esters, in fact it tastes a lot like some type of pumpkin pie Thanksgiving drink. I guess I picked up different flavors than others and the commercial description, but I detected no cherries, just the bourbony pumpkin! Man better than any of the pumpkin ales I have rated! As Maxwell Smart would say, "Verrry interesting!"

Bottle: Pours a clear amber with no head. Nose is fruity and spicy. Cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon come to mind. The flavor is also fruit with citrus and apple cider tones, some clove and other spices too. Nice and smooth. Thanks Footbalm.
