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.

Bottle shared with Joes. Amber color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, sweetness, don’t get much more. Hmm have to try again. Decent to medium body and carbonation.
