Description:
Bold & rich, this enveloping quad builds its force and character through interlacing layers of flavor. Its deep complexity begins with a molasses sweetness with notes of dark fruits like raisins and figs but develops further with an undercurrent of tart spice from its distinctive Belgian yeast for a truly transfixing brew...

Comments
another solid quad
Samuel Adams’ Tetravis is a Belgian Quad and part of the Barrel Aged Series. It pours a deep and clear red with a creamy head. It smells bright and crisp, with a note of cherry presiding over the sweet malts. That tart fruit flavor hits you first, but it gives way to a molasses sweetness that is well balanced. That sharpness is a surprise in a quad, but it’s welcomed, and sets this beer apart from others in its style. I haven’t had a Sam Adams beer in this series I haven’t really enjoyed yet. Well done.
