San Francisco, a.k.a “The Paris of the West,” has long been home to a diverse culture of bohemians and a bastion of art, creativity, and progressive thinking.
This decadent dark quadrupel-style ale was created in that same spirit–brewed with dark candi sugar, dried flame grapes, and orange peel, then fermented with a French ale yeast. Pair with funky Roquefort cheese and visions of a grand tomorrow!

Pour is a dark and murky brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice mix of dark fruit and a huge candi sugar. Some molasses and leather are also present. Flavor is more of a leathery and smokiness with some grape must and brown sugar. The flavor in this beer was all over the place. As it warms I’m now getting more if a cocoa and a strong alcohol. This was a decent effort at a quad even though this beer never really decided what it wanted to be.
