Barista Chocolate Quad biedt duidelijke tonen van karamel, toffee en chocolade. Qua geur en smaak past dit degustatiebier dan ook perfect in het rijtje van de quadrupels. De aroma’s van de geroosterde mouten, de donkere kleur en de stevige schuimkraag sluiten eerder aan bij porter en stout, twee Britse bierstijlen. Een uniek bier dus dat iedere bierliefhebber moet proeven.

0.33 l bottle from 'Brauart', best before July 2030. Clear, very dark ruby with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty, slightly fruity and a bit yeasty-spicy aroma of chocolate, coffee, raisins, some overripe banana and hints of clove. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently roasty, slightly yeasty-spicy and a bit fruity-floral taste of chocolate, caramel, coffee, overripe banana, marzipan, clove and some raisins, followed by a short, moderately roasty-bitter finish. Almost full-bodied, smooth and quite effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Really sweet, but also quite tasty.

Can, but not the nitro version. No visible date. Dark brown, some chunks, beige head. Choc malt aroma with brioche, light spices. Sweet and convincingly (why is it more impressive that there's no chocolate?) chocolaty - like a ganache - with enough bitterness (and/or booze) that it's surprisingly not cloying. Not bad at all.

Bottle. What a wonderful chocolate delight. Dark chocolate brown. Nice head. Aromas and taste of a wonderful chocolate trip that Willy Wonka would be proud of. Loved it.

Bottle shared at home. Pours jet black with beige head. Nose is incredibly chocolate-y, with some coffee and earthy notes. The taste is quite similar to the aroma, but less pronounced. Medium to heavy bodied with average carbo. Delicious dessert beer.

As "Barista Chocolate Quad". Aroma of malt, caramel, mocha, coffee, milk chocolate, hopjesvla, sweet dried fruits, candy, some spices. Flavour is sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Too sweet for my taste, but the aroma is fairly enjoyable.

Очень нетипичный и оригинальный по вкусу Бельгийский Эль. Запах очень приторный, ванильный. Вкус открывается ярко, шоколадно ликерный. Послевкусие очень мягкое в основном шоколадное. Очень интересный экземпляр.

330 ml bottle, as Kasteel Barista Chocolate Quad. ABV is 11%. Very dark colour, mid between mahogany and ebony. Low tan head. Strong aroma of coffee and chocolate, hints of vanilla and caramel. The flavour is fairly sweet, but not cloying. Distinct notes of chocolate, vanilla, caramel and coffee, dark dried fruits and a little hops in the finish. Moderately warming mouthfeel.
