A Belgian Quad by recipe, but aging it in spirits barrels garners its own category: Central Coast Quad. A beer formulated to sit on the sweeter and malty side so that we could utilize it for blending. Turbinado brown sugar from Mexico and Belgian candi sugar add wonderful molasses flavors. It has a full body and lush texture with barrel expression all over this beer: toasted oak, coconut, leather and cigar tobacco.

I was curious for this! Pretty boozy, some sweetness, malt and bourbon. Body is maybe a bit thinner than I'd hope, but not botheringly so. Good flavours and balanced very nicely, no weird things, just quality in a bottle.

#7000: 0.65 l bottle from 'Ace Drinks', 2016 vintage No. 003 at 11.6% abv, best before glory, about five years old. A little hazy, dark ruby with a thin, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Intensely sweetish, malty, quite fruity aroma of molasses, raisins, figs, candied cherry, massive bourbon, vanilla and a touch of oak. Rather sweet, malty, gently fruity taste of molasses, raisins, prunes, caramel, vanilla, a rouvh of coconut and lots of bourbon, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, quite boozy, just slightly yeasty-spicy and a little woody finish. Medium body, slightly oily and a little effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Massive, very rich beer, lots of bourbon and even alcohol but in a pleasant, satisfying way. Doesn't have much in common with a classic Belgian Quadrupel, I'd rather put it into the American Strong Ale category, doesn't harm the experience in any way though. I was trying to get my hands on a bottle for quite a while and managed to do so only a few months ago, keeping it in the cellar for this milestone since then. The purchase was worth every cent, it's simply a treat.
