11.5 % abv and 46 IBU it says on my 33 cl bottle of Quadrum 12 obtained from Alexandre at Finest Belgian Beers. From the label it appears the beer was brewed in 2019 but I’m not sure, not proficient at reading Belgian. A Delerium snifter is is being used this early evening, I see a deep copper-colored body finished with a nice, settling head of creamy, light tan foam. I smell ripe fruit, yeast and grain. I lift the glass for a drink, hmm, pretty decent. Actually maybe better than that. Dates, whole grain bread, currants, malt and a bit of sweetness. I also get a hoppy bitterness, nice. A pleasant quadrupel, glad to have it.

J'ai été plutôt agréablement surpris par cette Quadruple 12, qui même si elle ne présente pas une complexité incroyable est bien équilibrée, cohérente et en tout état de cause appréciable. Côté style, nous sommes entre une quadruple et un barley wine avec un côté liquoreux et de fruits confits marqués, une bonne douceur (sans être trop sucré cependant) et un alcool chaleureux (mais même avec 11,5 %, se ressentant finalement peu) ; mais également, avec, pour compliquer l'histoire une amertume se faisant davantage ressentir que traditionnellement pour ces styles. En verre, rien d'exceptionnel, un ambré légèrement voilé (EBC de 20), une faible effervescence et une mousse blanc cassé nappant tout juste la surface. Le nez est liquoreux sur des arômes relativement simples de fruits confits et de caramel mais sur une alliance fonctionnant. L'attaque, sur un bon équilibre reste sur les fruits confits, le caramel, avec cependant des arômes d'orange se démarquant quelque peu ainsi qu'une pointe d'épices. L'arrière continue sur cette lignée avec des épices (poivres) plus présents. L'arrière présente une amertume légèrement plus affirmée. Celle-ci est d'une ampleur moyenne mais la présence en bouche est globalement bonne. Le final, long laisse alors s'exprimer davantage l'amertume (et non l'alcool comme cela est usuel, IBU de 46), l'ensemble restant tout de même très homogène, sur des arômes linéaires. Plaisant.

Light brown colour with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour are strong with bready yeast. Starts out sweet but the dryness in the finish adds some balance. Lacks sone body and complexity given the style and high abv.

Monthly bottle share at Chez Sophie: 22nd May 2017. Four way split. 33cl bottle: BBD Dec 2017. One of my offerings. My sweet tooth really took to this. Slight haze to the reddy/brown pour, white wispy head. Fruity and malty, sweet molasses ruling both the aroma and taste, light yeasty notes too.

330ml bottle (2014 vintage) @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, courtesy of Jeremy. Many thanks. Pours a deep hazy reddish amber. Hard to detect the aroma past the thick cheesy smell filling the air from the snacks being crunched and scoffed around me the past hour, but I do believe there is some soft dusty caramel fighting its way out the glass. Taste is quite syrupy rich, lots of strong well-developed caramel and alcohol. Perhaps past its best.
