Thig big Quadruple kept the party humming even as we rolled out the barrel. Dark fruit and coffee notes developed as the Belgian spice esters faded. Step by Step the aging process has drawn out more flavors. As this brew was Hangin' Tough, we layered in cacao nibs to compliment the developing harmonies that are sure to get your toe tapping.

From a 16oz can. Canned on 10/10/2023
Upon opening the can, before pouring, it did gush up a bit, but not over the rim of the can. The color out of the can, into the glass is cola colored. Very murky looking and dark. There's a 1/2 finger tan head to the beer with ok retention for the ABV. There's no lacing on the glass.
Wow, the aroma is complex, and smells amazing. So much going on here, and I won't do justice to it. So much dark fruit hits my nose. Tons of caramel and toffee. Vanilla and an oak vibe here.
Taste - Well, I am sad to day, the flavor is a mere shadow of the nose. I'd rather it be the other way. I am getting hints of dark fruit, caramel, and toffee, but not like the nose let on. There's some hints of chocolate. The flavors seem kind of muddled. There's hints of the barrel with some vanilla and oak. but faint and muddled with the rest.
This beer doesn't have a good feeling to it. It is bubbly (which I didn't see at all in the pour). It has a harsh alcohol burn to it that isn't warming.
Wow! this beer looked and smelled amazing. Too bad it really fell off from there, and I don't think it is from age.
