How about a big, malty beer that evokes a good red wine and with a drier finish than you’d expect at 10.5% ABV?
Eschaton is a one-of-a-kind oaked all-malt Quadrupel (or “Belgian Strong Dark” if you prefer) that abounds with dark fruit and pit fruit flavors as well as earthy spiciness. Vanilla oak and warm viniferous notes assert themselves as the beer warms to reveal additional layers of delicious complexity.

Appearance - Poured from a can (that was sent here by a man), the beer poured a murky brown color with a tan head.
Smell - The nose was both Earthy and banana.
Taste - There was a significant amount of banana, but it was balanced by rye bread. It was not overly sweet and had a nice sense of balanced. The quad had a nice dry finish.
Mouthfeel - The banana was able to cling to the sides of the mouth because It was permitted by the viscosity.
Overall - It is nice to find a goid version of the style.

This hits the right spot for me -- Rich color, fruity malt aroma, lovely balance of hop sharpness and malt sweetness, luscious mouthfeel. I like big beers and barley wines but sometimes it is good to have something that leaves you standing. This is a beer that has all the richness of the really big ones. Fantastic find.

Pours a dark murky brown with some burgundy highlights when held to the light, thumb sized tan head falls slow laces well.
Aroma is sweet some light sweet sugary malts with dark fruit notes, plums, raisins light toffee /peat/nutty blend hard to put a finger on it. Some earthy spices no noticeable alcohol notes maybe when it warms.
Taste like the nose I guess definite sweet malts with dark fruit notes figs coated with a faint hint of toffee. Some earthy spice and lingering malts in the finish no real alcohol noted in the flavor either. Really not bad for an American attempt at this style not great but better then most who seem to butcher it with overly hot beers.
Mouthfeel is big medium the free floating sugars seem to add some body. Love the mellow carbonation.
Overall hmm not a bad beer is it a great Quad, no but its favorable and enjoyable enough going down. Not a bad attempt at all for a little Georgia brewery. Would have again.
