Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is brown and dark malt with yeast. Touch of roast and liquorice. Dried fruits, raisins, some caramel, ripe pear. Flavour is moderate sweet and fairly bitter for the style. Body is medium. Good Quad, not that sweet or complex but interesting with the bitterness.

Bottle, 10%. Citric malt syrup aroma, lots of brown sugar. Hazy dark brown colour. Extremely fizzy and unstable head. The flavour is sweet with brown sugar notes. Not so complex, but sufficiently so. Good bitterness to balance.

The quadrupel in this "... Watt" series by Stadsbrouwerij Eindhoven, bottle from the Albert Heijn supermarket located in Ghent's Ghelamco arena. Thick and frothy, yellowish pale beige, very moussy to pillowy, bit irregular, lightly cobweb-lacing, dissipating and opening head on an initially clear, deep mahogany brown beer with ruddy bronze hue, misty with sediment. Aroma of melting candi sugar, caramel, candied plum, raisin bread, clove, vague liquorish, young ruby port, gingerbread, 'jenever', hints of bayleaf, brandy, cashew nuts and brown honey. Sweet onset, dark candi sugar lying a blanket of dense but refined sweetness over light fruity notes of raisin, banana, dried fig and red apple, lively carbonated but not in a sharply numbing way; rounded, smooth body, brown-bready and hard-caramelly malt core with this candi sweetness continuing - but thinning and never becoming cloying, so drinkability remains high till the end. Light toasted-bready malt bitter touch in the end, accentuated by phenolic clove-like notes, a deep but confident earthy hop bitter element and, eventually, gin-like alcohol; some spicy notes (clove, nutmeg) linger about, and so does a resinous candi sugariness, but the whole does manage to end dryingly quenching, if perhaps a tad too astringently boozy. Not up to the greats in this genre (trappists like Rochefort 10 or Westvleteren 12), but still a solid, trustworthy and tasty, straightforward but technically well executed quad with likely a high cellaring potential. Plainly enjoyed it, without ups or downs.

Cheers Basement O.

A nice boozy malty beer. The quad belgian dark candi flavours are world class. It is slightly muddled to make the whole package world class. Albert heijn ams
