Flesje gedeeld door Benzai. Robijnrood bier met matig schuim dat snel weg trekt. Aroma van mout en Bourbon. Ook de smaak van Bourbon komt naar boven. Jammer dat de smaak snel weg trekt.

Goeiste van de avond

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into chalice, bottled on 9/13/2016. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep ruby red, light copper/brown color with a 1 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big raisin, plum, prune, cherry, fig, date, apricot, red apple, red grape, pepper, clove, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, and brown bread; with lighter notes of banana, coconut, molasses, herbal, leather, tobacco, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, bourbon barrels, candi sugar, and dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big raisin, plum, prune, cherry, fig, date, apricot, red apple, red grape, pepper, clove, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, and brown bread; with lighter notes of banana, coconut, molasses, herbal, leather, tobacco, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast and bourbon/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark fruits, cherry, apricot, red apple, red grape, pepper, clove, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, brown bread, coconut, molasses, leather, tobacco, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, bourbon barrels, candi sugar, and dark/bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/spiciness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from yeast/bourbon/oak spiciness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky/tannic, and slightly silky/slick/syrupy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mildly increasing warmth of 11.9%, with zero barrel booziness lingering after the finish. Overall this is an awesome barrel aged quadrupel. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, bourbon barrels, candi sugar, and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV with the modestly spicy/tannic/drying finish. Very well rounded fruity/spicy yeast complexity, great malt/candi sugar balance, and amazing barrel integration; never boozy or overly tannic. Very well attenuated, not too sweet for the ABV. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

pours dark copperamber. Small to medium white head. Smell is bourbon, very balanced, complex quad aromatics ( earthy, leaves, caramel ) Taste is very balanced and refined bourbon, tad sweet. Complex back of a well-made quad , sligtly overtaken, but not completely so, by the bourbon. very well made BBA Quad. Central waters keeps impressing me !
