Hazy amberbrown colour, good frothy beige head, dissipating slowly, light lacing. Aroma roasted malt, caramel, maple syrup, molasses, raisins, dates. Taste light heavy sweet, slightly bitter, roasted malts, caramel, molasses, dried fruits. Medium body, sticky texture and mouthfeel, soft carbonation, lingering syrupy sweet aftertaste, spicy notes, dried fruit, not bad but rather messy brew, all in all a decent strong ale.

Quad by Varenbroek, bottle from Wijnegemse Drankenhal. Very violent gusher, beer spouted out of the bottle neck even with very careful opening at relatively high temperature. Thinnish, pale greyish beige head leaving a steady but thin rim around the edge and thin ’islands’ of foam in the middle; cloudy burgundy brown robe with mahogany hue. Rich, sweet, liqueurish and alcoholic aroma of red plums, ripe black cherries, Kirsch, ruby port, hint of red fruit-flavored bubblegum, sweet brown rum, kahlua, candied fig, white pepper, lots of caramel, damp earth, cinnamon, roses, straw, Belgian chocolates filled with cherry liqueur, banana, medlar, gravy, brown sugar, dates, cloves, varnish. Sweet flavor, lots of candied fig and soaked raisins, banana isoamylacetate too, light umami accent (gravy) and much stronger undercurrent of elderberry sourishness, sharp carbonation - overcarbonated, in fact - coarsening an otherwise full, rounded, ’fluffy’ mouthfeel. Honeyish and caramelly malt and candi sugar sweet middle, bit sticky due to a lot of residual sugars, estery fruitiness continuing and being accompanied by quite strong phenolic features (cloves); herbal hop bitterishness in the finish, too soft to counter the initial sweetness, followed by a strong, heating, brandy-like alcohol glow, feeling a bit wry all the way at the back but otherwise not interfering too much with the rest. Some lightly toasted malt bittersweetness (but more sweetness than bitterness) remains after swallowing, along with this alcohol warmth. Not too bad flavor-wise, too sweet and a tad too alcoholic for my liking perhaps, but still a bit too messy and lacking depth to compete with the great (trappist) quadrupels. And then there is the gushing issue, of course... Let’s give it the benefit of the doubt then.

Deep amber to brown body. Lightly brown fizzy head. Lightly malty aroma. Heavily bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Surprising for a brown beer but in a good way. To remember.
