Do it. It's damn near perfect.

Brau Brothers Bourbon Barrel Quad, best American Made one I've had yet, too bad it was a small release 2 years ago. I have one bottle left and am debating drinking it or trading it (likely drinking it).

 

Not too surprised, mind you. Theophan may not have been the best RIS I've had, but it was a solid first try for Three Taverns. They really are a credit to the ATL beer community.

 

Here's one. Avery 5 Monks (bourbon barrel-aged Belgian-style Quintupel ale). This sounds awesome. 19% No. 22 in their Barrel Aged Series. Should be out next month. Only 732 cases made. You can look up the label. "...MUCH bigger and bolder than a quad".

 

So... what about Not the Stoic? "Belgian Style Quad"

 

Wild Heaven Eschaton is one of my favorites. Aged in red wine barrels to boot.

I liked Sixth Glass as well.

Deep Ellum Four Swords was a very good local: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/27403/108476/

Chalk up another for Sixth Glass.

Though anothe rone of my favorites, and one I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned yet, is Mystic's Day Of Doom. It's got a bit of spice that reminds me of Christmas cake, as opposed to just booze-soaked dark fruits. And they've just released a barrel-aged version, though I haven't get a chance to try it yet.

 

I buy Sixth Glass on a regular basis. I've had and enjoyed many of the ones mentioned on here. I'm definitely a sucker for quads. Great style for my tastes.

 

Sixth Glass is also pretty damn affordable compared to other. I forgot Schlafly too, it's another great, reasonably priced Quad.

Wild Heaven's Eschaton doesn't actually go into barrels, they use oak chips. Still good, but not as good as it could be.

 

I like the Schlaflys, especially with a little age on it...

 

I dig the Christmas cake/pudding of a good/great quad to be sure. Hell half the Belgian iterations don't pull this off well IMO...

 

Blvd bourbon barrel quad is fantastic.

 

Just don't drink the stout, Theophan the recluse. Only beer I have ever drain poured.

 

Two that I don't believe have been mentioned yet that I enjoyed were:

St.Arnold Divine Reserve #13
Hardywood Bourbon Cru

 

My buddy is in Atlanta right now and is going to Leggs Package tomorrow to see what he can find that he can't get in Alabama. Do they bottle Quasimodo?

 

I agree, Brau Bros BA Quad was very nice & the Templeton Rye barrels were a nice Midwest touch. I drank one & have 3 bottles aging now, I hope they hold up!!

 

Since there is no thing as a quad, Yes
