Single, Michael’s, Marietta, GA, USA. $4.49.
No pop on lifting the cap, and the beer pours out as a completely lifeless, murky brown tea like color. I suspect that this bottle has somehow lost its carbonation completely or is just a plain bad bottle. Still reviewing for my own records.
Despite the lack of carbonation you still get the full effect of taste and aroma. Plenty of dark fruits and sweet caramel, all dressed up in a little bit of alcohol, but nowhere near as big as the 12.0% ABV would suggest. Sherry notes too.
VERY thin in the mouth. I suspect that this stems from the carbonation problem that I am experiencing with this bottle.
I’m guessing that this could be a high quality Quad, but for now I am going to reserve judgement until I get a properly carbonated bottle.
