Second bottle from the Greensboro trip in Novemeber 2007.
Looks and drinks more like a Dubbel than I remember from before. Sweet raisin notes still there in the nose which is perhaps the best aspect of this beer. The 22oz Terrapin snifter produces some nice, fine carbonation.

Sampled Christmas Day 2007 – 750 mL, corked & caged, purchased at $10.99 from GSO Wine Warehouse in Greensboro, NC, USA in November – just before it got to GA.
Dark brown body with a creamy head. Dark fruits (raisins and figs) dominate the nose, but the taste is little less fruity than the nose would suggest.
Good balance in the yeast, Belgian candy notes and alcoholic sweetness, but something seems missing. Couldn’t really put my finger on the missing ingredient but I though it maybe a little too under attenuated?
Still a nice Quad, but for me it fails to break into the elite.
