Whitestone Quadrivium Series #1

I've been meaning to write about this brew for a while now, but for some reason kept getting sidetracked or distracted the last few weeks.  So today's the day...and it's probably not even available anymore.  Anyway, back at the start of the new year, i was fortunate enough to score a bottle of Whitestone Brewery's Quadrivium Series #1 (of 4) from the taproom in Cedar Park.  The beer is a 10% ABV Belgian Quad aged in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels...and it's fantastic.  Pouring a dark brown color with some amber hints and a white head, the brew smells of malt, molasses, oak, and bourbon.  The flavor is a lovely mix of brown sugar, caramel, malt, and some notes of booze, but much smoother than anticipated.  A perfect beer for the end of winter.  I wish i had bought more.  In the meantime, i should probably get myself back there to get bottle #2.  Great job Whitestone.
