Aroma visualization from community tastings
Thompson Bros. Foursquare MBFS 2005
"Pretty good Foursquare," as one member put it — but give it time. Wood glue and solvent lead the first nose, then twenty minutes of air burn that off and the classic Foursquare picture arrives: toasted oak, lots of coconut, vanilla, cocoa, a few dried fruits. The one recurring gripe is the 57% alcohol, which several tasters find not fully integrated and a bit sharp on the finish.

Coconut-cocoa Foursquare, alcohol a touch raw Well-liked but not adored: the coconut-and-cocoa Foursquare profile shines once it opens, though most agree the alcohol stays a little raw for the age.

Pretty good foursqaure.
Review by Boletus
Needs a little time in the glass for the initially present solvent note reminiscent of wood glue to dissipate, but then the classic, pleasant Foursquare profile opens up with mild toasted wood, lots of coconut, vanilla and cocoa as well as a few dried fruits. Unfortunately, the alcohol flashes through a little every now and then, clouding the cozy atmosphere somewhat. All in all, however, a nice thing.
Review by Ayc
Very solvent on the first nose. After a good opening, classic coconut, cocoa, vanilla and caramel profile, the alcohol still burns the nose a little. Slight notes (in addition to all the classic) of toast and torefaction. The texture is pleasant and enveloping. The alcohol seems relatively stiff for a 57%; it seems to carry the length, with a little astringency at the end. After a few sips, it becomes more gourmand (chocolate mousse, caramel butter) but the alcohol is still very present. Good but nothing exceptional
Review by Jacques etdom
At first a coconut, glue and solvent nose, then after 20 minutes of aeration, the nose is bewitching on a coconut vanilla tart. The palate is first alcoholic, then on an intense coconut with good length. It's a real pity that the alcohol wasn't integrated, otherwise we'd have reached new heights.
