Brewer Stephen Rawlings' Description:

For this Quad, the goal was to go as big as possible while still being as drinkable as any other beer you might pull off the shelf.

The aroma is distinctly Belgian and has a hint of fruit. As with most Belgian beers, the hops are primarily used for bitterness and provide little to no flavor or aroma. We kept the malt bill relatively simple to allow each malt to come through in its own way without getting all muddled together. The caramel and chocolate malts, in particular, work well together and you can taste each of them in the beer. We also added a large amount of Belgian Extra Dark Candi Syrup during fermentation, which darkened the color, imparted dark fruit-like flavors, and boosted the alcohol. Despite its high strength though, the alcohol only comes out as a warmth on the back end but is not over powering. The aftertaste is slightly sweet but also has a dryness that makes you want more.

This beer is best enjoyed at 50°F to 55°F.

Had it at The Cove last week. It's OK, but I don't need any more. A little cherry tartness, but it's kinda stuck in between styles.

Yeah, I had a few the other night. I really liked it, unlike anything I have tried before (to broke to be a beer snub). My girlfriend hated it.

It's not a bourbon beer. It's actually aged in Chardonnay Barrels I think.

ok, I think the first one was aged in bourbon barrels. I'm not a fan of the barrel aged stuff in general, but its with limited experience I say that---anything that tastes like liquor I avoid.

it's an old ale (not my style) aged in chardonnay barrels (may have been better with champagne yeast) and cherries added (do not get much of cherry at all)
