BATCH 13 (blended on 28 January 2013) was distributed as follows:
Type in BATCH
Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) barrels 91%
High Toast barrels 4,5%
Medium Toast barrels from Acacia 4,5%
Aroma: smooth with striking wood tones. As flowery and sweet as honey blossom. Almond and vanilla, and of course the normal Quadrupel aroma, which does however remain in the background. The first drink clearly tastes of a smooth red wine, followed by wood, tannins and smoke, which gradually evolve into a soft honey blossom. The warmer the ale is drunk, the more you can taste the oak flavour. The ale seems to get richer in tannins. This makes this batch sufficiently bitter, leaving the wood flavour in the background. This Quadrupel is medium sweet and drier than the normal Quadrupel.
