What a great concept. Had this on tap at sierra night, in beer heaven aka San Diego. Looks of a blend between the two types, maybe a little lighter than i expected. Smell of belgium candy and raisins. Taste like a strong bubbel. Good mouth feel, Kinda wish i could try the two before they blended them. Very drinkable.

On-tap at Oakquinox
Pours a dark amber/light brown color with a khaki head. Strong vanilla notes right off the bat. There’s definite some whiskey character along with a decent fruitiness, too. Plenty of brown sugar, toffee, and bread as well. The flavor has strong vanilla and wood flavors and plenty of malt sweetness. Heavy on the toffee and toasted bread with a light fruit character. Sweet and malty and enjoyable.

A - Served a brown-copper color with a tannish half-finger of frothy head. Fades slowly leaving lots of lace behind.
S - Aroma is a mix of Quad elements with some rich dark fruits including some fig and prune. There is also some Dubbel noticeable as well with some sweet malts and some cherry and yeast.
T - Starts off with a mix of sweet cherry flavors with some light yeast and some rich caramel malts. Through the middle, some stronger dark fruit flavors with some more fruit sweetness comes through. The finish is a mix of sweet dark fruit flavors with some yeast and a bit of cherry sweetness.
M - Medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth with a sweet and warming mounthfeel.
D - Surprisingly drinkable. Very nice blend that really had the richness of a Quad with the smooth drinkability of a Dubbel.
