This batch has a light brown, almost beige foam collar with nice bubbles, which disappears quite quickly. This gives the beer optimal odor, with a greater enjoyment. Striking mahogany color, darker than the normal amber brown quadrupel. The aroma is very complex and invokes flavor associations of red wine, sweet caramel, alcohol, dried fruit (dates, plum), honey, vanilla, oak and banana. Tasting new flavors will continue to emerge. This batch has a chic flavor with a lot of oak. The alcohol is well balanced with the sweetness and moderate bitterness of this Quadrupel, with the characteristic Quadrupels flavor in the background. Like the aroma, the taste is also very complex. Batch 27 is characterized by a warm and gentle soothing taste and a nice stimulation of the carbonic acid. In summary, this is a characteristic tasting beer to enjoy.

Fles gedronken tijdens proeverijtje met Tomhendriksen, Benzai, Roelzie en Keukeman. Robijnrood, licht troebel bier met matig schuim. Heel licht aroma van vanille. Smaak is zoet met een hint van de wijn. Nasmaak is zacht zoet.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Beer in the glass dark brown, small head. Intense malty alcoholic aroma. Starts intense malty, woody, not too alcoholic. Warming-malty. Some herbal-spicy notes in the background. Finish well balanced. Again warming-malty. Really nice!

Almost clear deep amber beer, has a marmalade hue when held to the light. Small pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft light malts bring a light creamy sweetness. Mild caramel and a little spice. Sweetish and slightly floral oaky vanilla. Smooth vanilla coated red berry fruits, touch of blackberry in there. Spicy and slightly bitterish spicy finish with a touch of dried fruits. Not the shoutiest in this series but refined and layered and sustains the quality.

Bottle: Poured a clear dark brown color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of candi sugar with some dry fruits and caramelized Belgian malt is interesting. Taste is also a mix of candi sugar, caramelized Belgian malt with some dry fruits notes and a smooth finish from the oak aging. Body is about average with good carbonation. Another smooth Quad from this fine brewery.
