This was poured into a chalice.
The appearance was a ruddy red to brown color with transparent hues running around the bottom. A slim quarter finger’s white foamy head dissipated immediately. No lacing was left.
The smell started off with a sweet caramel malt running into Belgian spices of light ginger, cinnamon, and clove. Cherry based sugar lightly shows up.
The taste was moderately sweet and drawing in the spices to accompany and balance. A Belgian sweet and semi-spicy aftertaste leads into a quick sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a good sipping quality about it. Carbonated decently as a quad, spices tend to run along my tongue appropriately.
Overall, I’d say this was a pretty good quad. It hits everything its supposed to, I’d have it again.

Has really mellowed out the past year. Delicious.

Cask at ACAT. Pours a clear amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has sweet grains and light caramel with a bit of underlying dark fruit and grains. Flavor starts with sweet grains and light fruit but has a bit of caramel towards the finish.

Slightly hazy amber color, small off-white head. Sweet, berryish strawberry aroma. Medium to full-bodied. Quite sweet. Caramel, strawberries, Belgian yeast and kandi sugar. Nice Belgian-style dessert.

Bottle, tasted blind. Clear, orange-amber, reddish too. A bit of lace. Sweet orange, esters. Very fruity flavor, orange and apricot, fizzy. Alcohol is well hidden. Too sweet, too fruity and phenolic.
