I'm not sure how this is considered a Belgian Quad. Absolutely nothing about this beer is representative of the style. If you ignore that, it's a damn fine beer. Dark and viscous, big-bodied, loads of chocolate and fudge, tons of oak and red wine complexity. If I had to guess the beer blindly, I would immediately identify it as a wine barrel aged stout. The barrel treatment really compliments this beer well.

L - Pours a murky brown to the point of almost black body. Barely a one finger light brown head teases to come forth. Minimal lacing and no retention.

S - Candied sugars, oak, ripe cherries and bakers chocolate.

T - The taste really follows the nose. Nice red wine character overall. Not much else to say here.

F - Thin bodied and low carbonation.

O - I like it better than the bourbon barrel aged, simply for the fact that it isn't overly cloying sweet. But, it's still thin for a quad with a low amount of carbonation.

i thought this was a really nice quad done by westbrook. didnt realize it was a quad until coming here as it had a really nice and surprising sweetness to it. really smooth, too, with a well hidden abv.

Very dark, nearly black pour. Seemed slightly viscous for a quad. Probably picked up a lot of color from the barrel/residual wine. The flavor of the beer is dominated by a dark fruit flavor that begins on an interesting note, but quickly grows into something that is hardly palatable. From cold, to sitting out for an hour or more, the flavor did not improve.
