Dark brown with a medium sized head. Sweet and malty with honey, caramel, dark fruit, strong tannin, booziness and a medicinal note. Very long finish. Moderately full bodied

Pour is a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is honey, sweet caramel malt and alcohol. Flavor is pretty good! Lots of dark fruit with some candi sugar, yeast ester and some alcohol shows up. Think sugar covered plums. Pretty good but very sweet canned quad.

Bought a 6pack at Liquor Shed. They were canned on June 4th 2018.

It pours a dark reddish brown, a substantial head of foam that shrinks to a solid layer, excellent lacing.

Lots of dark fruit and brown sugar in the smell. Raisins, plums, some Belgian spices like cloves, lightly woody.

The taste is very good if slightly off kilter. Dark fruits and a strong sweetness and almost as strong booziness greet my taste buds. Cloves are stronger here than in the smell. Sweetness comes across as honey and molasses and candi sugar. Tres sweet.

Almost if not full bodied.

Nice slow slow sipper.

12 oz. can from Tavour. Deep dark ruby color. Aroma is layered dark fruits with mild honey hints. Pretty rich and malty.

The flavor has it share of raisin, prune, molasses. The honey does give a different element to this Quad. Thankfully it is not overly sweet but it does that line of cloying. A bit of bitterness would take this to the next level. Still good.

Light florals and some citrus. Musky basement resin vibe. Dead yeast like mushroom stir fry. Light tangy finish. Tap at 14 in Denver.

12oz bottle pours with a clear amber colored body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up plums and figs and dates with some molasses and malts in the background. The taste delivers similar notes with spicy sweet earthy dates, plums, raisins and figs with brown sugar and candi sugar filling in the gaps. Pretty nice but it lacks the depth, richness and softness I enjoy in the style.

12 oz. bottle, about 2 months since bottling. Pours a beautiful, dark, ruby color, with a medium, off-white, bubbly head. The nose is raisins, caramelized sugar, anise, plums, bittersweet chocolate, and some light hickory smoke and pine sap. Sweet and sugary flavor, with a light bitterness that leads to a dry finish. Medium to heavy body, somehow effervescent but not fizzy, velvety, and a little acidic and harsh. This is a lovely, aromatic, complex, and aggressive beer. Very sharp and rough in its youth; I could see some age smoothing off the edges.
