look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

Poured from 12oz bottle into a tulip.

Appearance: rich, ruddy amber hue with a thick finger of frothy ivory foam. A nice looking beer.

Smell: nice malt aroma with some phenolic spiciness and a definite note of alcohol. A light presence of dark fruits is nice, but the high alcohol leaves this just a bit too chemically to be truly good.

Taste: rich flavor of dark fruits; raisins, dates, tobacco and a rich maltiness all come together to make a nicely mullable flavor. Alcohol is a bit high, but still it's rather good.

Mouthfeel: big body and bodacious carbonation leave a giant creaminess combined with a rich silky texture. Wonderful.

Overall: this is an imperfect but pretty good quad. It's nice not to have to go to Belgium for flavors like this.

12 oz bottle poured into a snifter. no bottling date.

pours a reddish brown color with no head.

smell is typical quad aroma... slightly sweet. bready and malty

taste is quite good. mild caramel sweetness, yeasty. plums and raisins too. alcohol apparent on the aftertaste. surprised at this one honestly, i didnt think it'd be as good as it is.

mouthfeel. low carbonation, medium bodied. not quite a sipper (but at almost 12% ABV maybe you should!)

overall nothing world class but an enjoyable quad. recommended.

12oz bottle from Baker. Thanks!

A: Plum colored body with a quarter inch fizz. Bubbles are cascading through the top. Leaves noticeable legs on the glass.

N: Lots of malt and prune and raisin. very bready. A hint of leather and tobacco.

T: Bitter at the beginning with the bread and sweetness at the end. Has a bit of a twang. Isn't as much of a meal as it might be.

M: Sturdy and coating. not as thick or creamy as the highlights of the style. Doesn't have any sting of alcohol.

O: A solid stab at the style and something I'd drink again, but I wouldn't kill for it again, either. Seems like the bottle variation is all over the place.
