Can. 2022 version. Golden amber. Almost clear with a good cm of dense white head that never quite disappears. 3+ Aroma of spiced dough, banana lollies, some tropical bubblegum. Full bodied with medium high carbonation. Rich bread dough/ candied fruit before a dry and fairly punchily spicy bitter finish. No overt alcohol but you can feel it. Good.

As Quad - 2022 version is 10% ABV. Brown with a beige coat that doesn't last. Aroma of dried and stewed fruit - raisin, fig - brown sugary dough, spices, some overt alcohol. More vinous than expected with oaked red wine providing a little acidity to cut the sweetness. Still lots of dried fruit. Rich but very drinkable with moderate spiced bitterness. Very good; not an attempt to clone anything else.

Can. Into a La Chouffe tulip, obviously. Cloudy orange with a white head. Spiced dough aroma with peach, banana lollies. Moderately sweet, quite yeasty with a somewhat murky palate before firm bitterness, cloves and a little alcohol tie things together at the end. OK, lacks a little definition.

Can. Deep amber with a fat, dense off white coat that lasts really well. Aroma of sweet buns, brown sugar, golden raisins, wild figs, mace. Barely medium bodied, soft carbonation. Some sweet malt presence but understandably lacks grunt. Mostly biscuit, dough and some grapes. Dryish finish with spices and a decent whack of bitterness. [br][br]Hugely promising.
