1 February 2020. At Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, Kevin, Niels & Cynthia! Hazy dark brown, lasting, small, foamy, beige head. Inviting aroma of granola, biscuit, toasted coconut, milk chooclate, coffee & cream, caramel sauce. Taste has sweet chocolate & biscuit topped with coconut flakes, touch of vanilla & toffee, slightly herbal & toasty with a strong 'granola' malty backbone (nuts & raisin). Dryish, earthy-herbal hoppy finish, lingering toffee & coconut with decently warming whisky alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Very pleasant surprise as it takes the supple maltiness of a Quad and mixes it with characteristics one might find more quickly in modern-day Stouts. All the elements work well and despite the ABV it's easily drinkable. Only now do I notice the reference to the Bruges football derby (Club Brugge - Cercle) but even as an FCB fan, I'm at a loss as to what the implied link is.
