Fall/Winter
Inspired by the best of Belgium, specifically the brothers of the cloth who have devoted their lives to the brewing arts, Quasimodo is a classic, full-bodied quadrupel ale—for us, the measure of brewing perfection. Dark, savory and fruity, yet with a dry, bittersweet finish enhanced by the addition of imported Belgian dark candy sugar, Quasimodo is dangerously drinkable. Re-fermented in the bottle for natural carbonation, it can ring your bells now… or years from now.

Appearance: Dark brown glass holds a thin tan halo for a bit. A bit burky at last pour.
Aroma: Dark skinned grapes, powdery Belgian yeast, malty base.
Taste: Smooth, red wine grapes, malty base, Belgian yeast spin, spot on for style.
Mouthfeel: Medium low body, low carbonation, clean finish.
Overall: A perfect Belgian Quad, maybe a touch mellow but to me this is a St. Benardus clone, really nicely done.

Look: Pours a nice mahogany color with an off-white head melting to a thin ring around the edge and good lace.
Smell and Taste: Somewhat dry compared to most Quads I've had. Slight bitterness on the finish.
Feel: Perfect amount of carbonation. 10% ABV adds to the feel. LOL
Overall: A very well rounded Belgian Quad. All drink again.

L: Deep dark ruby with 1/2 inch of rocky khaki foam. Head dissipates quickly leaving little lacing.
S: Little bit of malt. A decent amount of brown sugar, fig, grape, and a good waft of booze.
T: Date fig and plum up front for me. Raw/brown sugar sweetness that isn't cloying blends well with spice and bready malt (specifically the crust of dark breads like pumpernickel or molasses bread). Clove and very light pepper. Finishes with a wine-like dryness while the malt stays behind. At times the aftertaste is reminiscent of good bourbon.
F: Very little carbonation. Just a few shades shy of syrup. Alcohol warming is nice.
O: A very solid and rewarding sipper. Might be a little too flat for some as the carbonation doesn't stick around for long at all. This would be great with a hearty meal or roasted meats. Great on a cold night to keep you warm.

Appearance: Presents beautifully with a two finger ecru head capping the mahogany colored liquid; clumpy lacing
Smell: Slightly burnt caramel and candi sugar tones buttressed by date, fig and banana
Taste: Caramel, candi sugar and yeasty phenols forward with a peppery mix of date and fig developing; hints of banana appear, as well; there is some welcome dryness in the finish, though the sweeter tones linger
Mouthfeel: Full bodied with low to moderate carbonation
Overall: Four years in, this beer is drinking very nicely; well-done in a style that is rarely attempted these days in the American craft scene
