Bottled, of course. Poured a very dark brown to black with medium head. Caramel, dark fruit, licorice, yet somewhat subtle, some yeast etc. Not too much carbonation and heavy yet nonobtrusive mouthfeel. Sweeter rather than bitter A good one and alco wasn’t too apparent despite level.

Best before December 6th 2017
A small pop when I pulled the cork out, it pours a clear reddish brown with a finger of off white foam. Lacing is impressive
Loads of caramel malt in the smell with some dark pitted fruit that’s on the subtle side. The sweet seems likely to be influenced by candi sugar, I reckon.
Tastes of caramel malt and probably a bit of oxidation. Dark fruits are a mild presence. Candi sugar here but doesn’t cause any over sweetness. Alcohol is definitely there and brings oodles of warming.
Close to a syrupy mouthfeel, I really do like this Quad.

Sample at the Beer Heads MeetUp bottle share event in October 2014. Pours a hazy light cola brown with an ecru head. Caramel nose. Flavors of butterscotch. Smooth finish. Nice quad.

750 ml bottle into chalice, best before 1/23/2017. Pours lightly cloudy pale ruby red color with a 1 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big raisin, plum, fig, cherry, apricot, pear, apple, caramel, toast, brown bread, candi sugar, pepper, light clove, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/earthy yeast and dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big raisin, plum, cherry, fig, apricot, apple, caramel, toast, brown bread, candi sugar, pepper, light clove, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of raisin, plum, cherry, fig, apricot, apple, toast, brown bread, candi sugar, pepper, light clove, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity and balance of fruity/earthy yeast and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/fruity/spicy flavor balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very smooth, lightly slick/bready, and fairly crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is an awesome quadruple style. All around great complexity and balance of fruity/earthy yeast and dark/bready malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Refrigerated 75 cl brown bottle corked and capped poured into a Trappist glass. Pours translucent mahogany with off-white head which dissipates quickly. Aroma is some dark fruit, medium body, medium carbonation, and very little lacing. Taste is caramel, dark fruit (mostly fig and some raisin), dark candy sugar, and some alcohol.

Lovely clear brown body with an off-white fizzy head. Appealing aroma of grapes, chocolate, nuts, ... Moderately bitter, heavily sweet flavour. Very complex mouthfeel of dark fruit and chocolate. Very enjoyable.

750mL bottle, sent from BrewtopiaofPJ (thanks Mark), pours a deep dark mahogany / amber with a large off-white / beige head. Aroma of Belgian spices, toffee, some floral notes and candied sugar. Flavour is very complex and luscious, full of floral notes, caramel, some light spices, and candied sugar. Extremely complex flavour, with a wonderful integration of the different flavours - the sweetness is perfectly situated, never becoming cloying. Not as elegant as something like Rochefort 10 or St. Bernardus 12, but certainly one of the best American quads. Excellent.
