750 ml Crowler
Pours opaque deep brown, tan head is finely textured and retains as a bit of lacing.
Aroma of rich fig, molasses, grape, oats, cocoa, licorice, walnut, and dry biscuit.
Flavor is extremely rich, mostly fig and molasses up front followed by some mesquite, grape, honey, cocoa, clove, nutmeg, walnut, pecan, and licorice.
Thick, viscous body warms going down, carbonation stings the tongue along with a light boozy numbness.
It has some great Quad qualities that I don't often see in non-Belgian attempts to produce the style, but it also has some of the cloying sweetness of a British barleywine and some of the heavy richness of imperial stouts. All this combines into a beer that is first and foremost extremely slow to drink. This beer does not hide its abv, it smacks you in the face with it. Be prepared to spend the evening with a glass. Beyond that, if we're calling it a Quad as it is marketed, then it misses the mark for me, but as its own malt-forward thing, its honestly pretty good. I think if you come at it from the barleywine or stout sides rather than as a Quad, it really scores a lot of high marks. All in all worth trying, definitely good, definitely hard to categorize for me, but I would have this again.
