From the brewer
A prized, potent, Belgian-style Quad of stirring depth and complexity.
Four nuanced fermentations. Aged, sequestered, in select rye whiskey & wine casks. Ergo a stoically brewed quad, with the spellbinding complexity of its medieval ancestors.

I had to try this when I saw it on the tap list, but I hate to say it may have aged too long. There's a real, flat boozy flavor through which you get a bit of stonefruit syrup - and not much else. What complexity and balance used to be here was long gone.
unknown release
Slightly tangy with a pronounced clovey spice profile and tons of round, mellow fruit and vapor character from the pomegranate & various barrels. Very, very pleasant.
unknown release
Slight tangy smell. Mild cereal body with moderate sweetness. Whiskey smoke and acidic grape wine aftertaste.
