The pour is dark brown, unfiltered looking so no highlights when backlit.
The beige head left sparse lacing, and for a 3 year old barrel aged barleywine, that’s not bad.
The taste is not what I expected but it is quite good. Raisins and plums are prominent, bourbon and chocolate, a little vanilla - not what I expected but it is very tasty.
The feel is lightly viscous, an excellent sipping beer.
OA, excellent beer.

From a 750ml bottle Bottled on 2-14-2024 - 2023 edition. Served at room temp.
A bit of a hiss and smoke upon opening. This beer pours a deep, dark amber color. Fairly clear when I hold it to the light, but very dark. There's a good stream of carbonation bubbles rising in the glass. The head that forms is a 1 finger tan color. The head looks a bit fluffy and is long lasting. There's a bit of lacing on the glass.
The nose is a nice mix of dark plum, raisin, and a hint of the barrel. The nose is not too strong smelling to be honest. I wonder if some was lost in the barrel ageing process?
Taste - The flavor is a lot like the nose: it is very mellow. I do get a bit of raisin, and plum. There's a bit of a hit of the barrel that adds some caramel, toffee and vanilla to the mix. There's a faint hint of a wild funk from the yeast.
This does not drink like a 10% beer. There's no burn I am getting. It is very smooth and a bit bubbly feeling.
A very interesting concept, and it does taste good, but it also is lacking in the POW that the Quad flavor should bring.
