Kasteel Donker is a member of the Belgian quadrupel family. These are strong dark brown beers where the roasted malt predominates. The very first beer of the Kasteel range is a full-mouthed beer with hints of caramel, coffee and chocolate. The sweet initial taste makes this beer surprisingly complex but very accessible.

An unusual anonymous quad. Dark pour with a fine head. Ok lacing. Decent intensity in the aroma and a balanced sweetness. Oily texture. Toffee and some dried fruits in the flavor. [Bottle from Gundersen]

Flaska från Beergium. BBD mars 2018. Lite dammig doft någonstans mellan kladdig chokladkaka och mörk torkad frukt, särskilt russin, madeira. Söt, riktigt söt men fint utvecklad smak med russin, madeira och choklad som doften. Hade kanske behövt aningen större kropp med den sötman. Gott.

Bottle, Wine Warehouse. Pours dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is chocolate, sweet caramel, raisin, black cherry. Flavor is black cherry, raisin, alcohol, dates... lots of dark sweet fruitiness with a hint of yeast in there. A sipper. Very nice.

Re-rated, old score 6/3/6/3/14=3.1 Smell-medium strong, malt, caramel, Belgian, sweet, kvass-ish. Foam-thin, malty, kvass-y, then some alcohol, caramel, sweetness, acidic tones, faint sourness. Head is medium, dark-ish brown, dirty white color, sticks to sides. Appearance - beer bottle cap.Clear, very dark ruby color. From - snifter Taste - caramel, sweet, malt, kvass-ish, bit acidic, Belgian. Very sweet, fairly alcoholic and somewhat kvass-like. I don't know, this feels very good, maybe because it is cold and it's hot outside.
