GothGargoyle (2587) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 10, 2016
Clear light brown with a light beige head. Aroma is malt, caramel, quince, hints of dark fruits. Medium bodied, sticky mouthfeel, burnt sugars on the palate. Taste is burnt caramel, brown sugar, some dark fruits.

dslam (104) - surrey, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 10, 2015
Poured from a 650ml bottle. 2 fingers of very frothy off white head on top of a beautiful brown liquid. Aroma of alcohol is pretty evident. Malty smooth taste that leaves a light smoky feel at the back of my tongue. Has the qualities of a dark beer but the strong alcohol content is quite noticeable.

pictoman (3080) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 10, 2015
Poured from 650mL bottle. Dark muddy mahogany brown with full beige head. Plum, brown sugar, raisin, hint of chocolate, noticeable alcohol. Pretty decent attempt at a Canadian quad. May pick one up to age.

reebtogi (6488) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - AUG 9, 2015
650ml bottle pours a deep amber color with a 2 finger off-white head that retains well and leaves some decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is lighter fruits with some herbal and chocolate notes and hints of yeast. Taste is a fruity and chocolate malty sweetness with a herbal and light citrus hop bitterness. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Hides alcohol well. Very smooth. Good stuff!

Crit (4659) - Surrey, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 26, 2015
Test batch which was flat and lifeless. Nose showed promise, this will be good when properly bottle conditioned

mcberko (34280) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 17, 2015
650mL bottle, pours a dark amber / mahogany with a medium beige head. Nose brings out candied fruits, caramel malts and some toffee. Flavour is quite complex, with caramel malts, candied fruits and a lovely Belgian yeast profile. Fairly authentic for a non-Belgian quad. Complex and highly drinkable for a 10% beer. Excellent.

fiulijn (27110) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 6, 2015
UPDATED: MAR 30, 2016
2016-01-31, draught at the brewery, new brewer, 7-5-8-4-16=40
Dark amber to mahogany color. It has a good malt character with caramel side, sweet, alcoholic, warm, a bit nutty.
Rich, excellent.

2015-05-03, bottle from Hastings Liquor, 7-5-8-4-17=41
Brown with a nice dark amber hue, clean, with creamy head. Aroma of caramel, sweet, with very light notes of liquorice and anise. Good body strength; quite good job with the malt, more caramel flavor, moderately sweet; differently from other Quad-wannabe this one has a good character coming from the combination of dark caramel and yeast; there are some fruity esters that enhance the experience, and it has a gentle alcohol warmth. Powerful. It has 27 respectable IBUs that provide some dynamic touch, so I wouldn’t age this beer, but drink it as is.
Excellent Quadrupel.

3.9
manuchampions (1259) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 22, 2015
Bottle from Brewery Creek. Pours a deep but clear brown with a decent cream head. Aroma is as you would expect; plums, candied sugar, raisins and yeast. Taste is decadent and much more lush and balanced than I would have expected. Wonderful finish. Excellent example of style that will only improve with age.

3.6
Ferris (23109) - Burnaby, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 9, 2015
Bottle - Nice raisin, plum, dark fruit and dark sugars. Deep brown with a thin off white head. Dark sugars, plum and raisin. A very solid quad that may be the best BC has to offer. I have a bottle to sit on and will see what happens in 6 months.

3.1
Gerbeer (5947) - Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 28, 2015
650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark mahogany with moderate head. Aromas of earthy/vegetal yeast, sugar, doughy malts, and light spice. Flavors of brown sugar, raisins, copper and more vegetal notes. First batch - an opportunity to get better...
