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.

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.

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.
