Reviewed from notes. Consumed: 11/11/2019; Veteran's Day present to me from a great friend, Thanks Paul!
Bottle to chalice.
Appearance: dark brown to almost black in color with no head
Aroma: seems like the normal qualities of a Belgian quad but with some added orange peel and some ginger
Flavor: sweet to spicy to citrusy sweet, a light tart tone and some earthy sweetness; finishes with some candied fruits (the Belgian quad part, I guess) and some of the ginger
Texture: medium bodied, definitely a sipper; some smoothness but also some grip on the tongue from what I'm guessing to be from the Belgian quad part (and so I expected that), ginger seems to play a very little factor in any possible assertive behavior against my tongue
Overall: well, I liked this for me, but sometimes I wonder if the ginger and the orange may have turned this beer into something else. Eh, it is what it is and there I go thinking too much about stuff like this again.
