On tap at Avant-Garde, pours a deep dark chestnut brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out subtle bourbon, lots of booze, toasted nuts, brown sugar, and dark fruits. Flavour is boozy, with lots of bourbon that mixes with dark fruits, molasses, caramelized brown sugar, and alcohol. It's not at the level of a Trappist quad, even a BA one (like one of La Trappe's). The base beer I wasn't too impressed with, but this BA version is better, despite how hot and boozy it is. Good, but not an upper tier quad.
