Belgian Half Quad
Brewed with Three Floyds
When Three Floyds comes knocking at your door with a half barrel of Alpha King asking to do another collaboration... you say yes. This time around we brewed as standard strength Belgian style Quad with D2 sugar and some yeast the Floyds stole from Belgium.
Availability: Draft, Late Summer 2013

Draft @ Novare Res Bier Café. Dim lighting shows me a dark black color with lasting head in a tulip glass. Aroma of roasted barley, chocolate, coffee dregs and a candy like note. Nice!
The flavor is close to an oatmeal stout. Chewy oat texture with deep roasted grain body. Medium in body leaning on full. Has hints of dark fruit but the char and roasted grain takes over the light fruit or candy hint. The mouthfeel is ashy and lightly smoky. I order this because it was a collaboration and didn’t have any idea what it was from the menu, I like it because of the stout elements to it.

Tap at Max’s 4/27/14. Oily. Drinks more like a mellow stout. I get the Belgian yeast, but more amber-chocolate than Quad. A touch of raisins. Somewhat buttery, semi sweet. OK, big and full bodied.
