This Oak Aged is copper brown in colour and its aroma is a mixture of muscatel aromas and Quadrupel. In addition to sweet honey, flowery meadows with almond and caramel, we also distinguish the aroma of muscatel wine and, of course, that of oak. This Quadrupel too has been lagered in barriques, most of which are burned on the inside. Out of all batches released so far, this batch has the smokiest and fullest flavour. The influence of Oloroso and Brandy barrels also has a distinct side-effect. Ultimately, the complex flavour is full, smooth and balanced. The aftertaste is that of wood tannins, smoke, almonds, dates and caramel, the latter giving this batch a bitter-sweet touch.

Bottle @ OlutExpo 2015

Pours dark brown with a smooth head. Aroma of sherry, sweet oakiness, toffee, syrup and caramel. Taste is sweetish, stuffy and syrupy with loads of oak, toffee and caramel. Finish is sweet, syrupy and stingy with some sherry and oak. A bit unbalanced.

Bottle, 375ml corked. An unclear, amber colored beer topped by a dense, beige head. The aroma is fruity and sweetish, dried fruits mostly, with a boozy touch and some wood. Caramel, dried fruits, some faint chocolate notes and wood, with a resiny, bitter touch. Some booze. Full body and a nice carbonation, rather warming. Vinous, boozy finish with dried fruits and some woody hints. Quite nice this one, but somehow it feels a bit boring. 150814
