On tap at Diving Dog, pours a hazy chestnut brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out Belgian yeast, toasted nuts and caramel - very sweet. Flavour is fairly spicy and yeasty, with roasted chestnuts, caramel bready malt and Belgian yeast. Nowhere close to an authentic quad, nor all that complex. It's pleasant enough, but doesn't hit the mark.

Sample at the tap room. Clear copper color with a medium thick light beige head that recedes gradually. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, dark fruit and yeast. Medium-bodied with flavors of earthy yeast, figs and caramel malt. The finish is fruity with a plum and yeast aftertaste. Decent overall.
