Good, amberish tinted head, stable, over veiled amber-ochre beer. Alcohol, boozy nose, caramel, even toffee, biscuity. Biscuit, oxydized malts, bit dried herbs, other grains. Alcoholheat, very slick to viscous. Good carbonation. Bo-o-o-o-oring. Txs to Stef!

Quadrupel by this new microbrewery in Kruibeke, Eastern Flanders. Thick and frothy, pale greyish white, cobweb-lacing head on a cloudy beige-tinged dirty brownish-amber beer. Aroma of candi sugar, banana, stewed apple, melting caramel, crumbling brown bread, fresh cloves, dry earth, fig, almond, bayleaf. Very sweet onset, lots of banana esteriness, stewed peaches and figs, clear residual candi sugariness, medium carbonation; fluffy body, caramelly malts with a vague metallic touch to them, brown-bready, with a soapy coriander seed aspect and lots of spicy phenols; herbal hop bitter note in the end, lingering unfermented sugars, bready-powdery yeast and warming alcohol, while phenolic effects get the upper hand, even becoming a bit medicinal (band aid) in the end. Technically flawed, I’m afraid – this needs to be redone, guys!

11/VII/20 - 33cl bottle @ home, BB: 3/2022, LOT: 2019052601 (2020-627) Thanks to Alengrin for sharing the bottle!
Very cloudy beige to red brown beer, small dense creamy off-white to light beige head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: dirty, weird, bit spicy, dead yeast, caramel. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very sweet and sugary, caramel, too sweet for my liking, ripe banana, yeast, meh. Aftertaste: bit spicy, dirty, yeast, soapy, very sugary, overripe banana, some caramel. Oh boy, don't like this at all...

Overflowing foam from the bottle. Wouldn't say gusher but definitely seems highly cared. This is proven again in the pour. A slow pour will still develop a huge head. The color of the beer under this dense stable, yet relatively big bubbled head, is unclear, muddy amberbrown. Scent is weak, mild earthynessw leaves. Taste is full, sweet, heavy, boozy, very boozy for the abv, caramel, mild roasted malts ( medium high in intensity, mild in roastyness). Fairly creamy, with a decently complex aftertaste. Mild vanilla. Really decent quad, to bad for the overcarbonation. Fermentation profile seems a bit to estery, which is nice in taste but disturbed the mouthfeel a bit. Decent as is, with room for improvemen to become a beer to be remembered, even in the dense beer offering in Belgium.
