Cerberus is a complex dark beer. Notes of caramel, toffee, raisins, and stone fruits. The sweet flavors of Cerberus are rounded off with a slightly boozy finish.

Bought a can out in Port Angeles, WA.
A bit light color for the style, but similar to La Trappe color.
Smell is a bit subdued, not too much of the phenolic Belgian yeast I would expect, but not bad.
Taste is nice. Others said it was too boozy, but I don't get that here. It was not hot --- surprising for 13%. I didn't see when this was canned, but maybe age helped? Not sure. My complaint really is that it is a bit thin and not too much yeast presence. Overall, pretty good taste though.
Low carbonation. I like more in my quads. Not sure if this was intentional or not.
Overall good. It's not distributed around me---I wouldn't necessarily seek it out, but wouldn't complain if I had it again for sure.

12 oz can into a snifter, at the brewery in Salt Lake City.
This is an easy review. Way too hot at 13% ABV, wrong yeast, no love in the experience at all. It’s like a shot of rubbing alcohol and that’s about it.

12 oz bottle into mini snifter. Pours a cranberry-copper color with a fingernail of gray head.
Aroma is faint, but consists of rye bread, sticky prunes, raisin, chocolate malts, brown sugar, and plum.
Flavor is mostly alcohol heat up front, followed by astringent graininess, with faint trails of crabapple, prune juice, and burnt brown sugar.
Feel is mostly thin due to the high alcohol, has an antiseptic heat, and finishes dry (unsurprisingly).
Overall, way too much heat, not enough sweet. I think they really pushed the ABV on this and instead should have focused on the more quiet, mild flavors a Quad can bring forth. Probably would pass next time.
