I am on the fence on 3 or 4
I am on the fence on 3 or 4 stars for the Overall. The beer poured a nice orangey-amber color with a thick head that smelled of yeast with some dark fruits. I could taste raisins in the fruits and some malt. Unlike other quads I've had, the Sixth Glass seemed to lose its fruit flavor and became more bitter as it warmed. Started the glass thinking it was okay and finished with my tongue eager to be done. Quite disappointed.
