Small Batch Quad: 5.5 – Pretty dark looking for a quad. Its meaty and more carbonated than you’d think as there was zero head. Its got a gravitas to it that sadly makes it hard to go through a big bottle solo, but then again at 11% you only need the one.

Tangerine Quad: 2.0 – There is something that you won’t notice on this at first glance. Now the idea of a Quad with Tangerine’s – sign us up. (We already subscribed by the fact that we bought this). However you may notice the small words ‘aged in bourbon barrels’ and inferred by the score that they did not in fact pull that off. There doesn’t seem to be a reason why this was aged, but it turns it into nonsense.

Madeira: 4.0 – Ho boy is that a hell of a quad. There is honestly too much going on there and you practically have to chew the beer. The banana, the wheat, and the meat just come at you in waves and no part of this is easy to drink or taste.

Company Quadruple 2015: 5.0 – There is a lot of flavor here, but overall the beer is just not a beer I terribly enjoy, or a beer I would recommend.

Weyerbacher Blasphemy Quadrupel Ale: 5.0 – Because this quad is also aged, it’s simply way too mellow of a beer, even for a quad style ale. It’s certainly not a bad beer, but it feels like drinking a heavy cream or something with a bunch of spices.

LaTrappe Quadrupel Trappist Ale: 5.0 – This came to me highly suggested by a fellow member at the wine tasting, but it was just kinda too fruity and banana-y for my tastes concerning quads. It’s certainly not bad, and I see how to the right person it could be great – if that person was a fan of banana beer.

Avery Brewing The Reverend: 5.0 – Fairly standard as far as quad’s go, I was hoping with Avery’s Kaiser this would be a bit better, but it’s just average.

8 Wired Grand Cru Quadruple: 3.5/10 – Again at this tasting at Julio’s we have another sour beer, this time a quad – a beer meant to be meaty and full – this is light and sour. I understand that quad’s vary, but how you can have a quad like Allagash and thing a sour burp is the better taste is beyond me.
