Our goal was to brew a Belgian dark golden blond quadrupel with an enormous potential of aromas and flavors, and added complexity due to oak barrel aging. Bourbon barrels from Kentucky were chosen due to their very special soft roast quality and noble vanilla flavors. Year upon year, different quality controls were executed, and we finally decided to bottle condition this very special ale in May 2012. Another three moths of cold maturing was done at the brewery, so we could be sure about the absolute quality before releasing to our customers

9/10
Massively overcarbed, took me 20+ minutes to release enough pressure to safely open and pour it without gushing. That said: absolutely delicious. Rich, warming, boozy and sweet. Loads of raisins. Barrels give wood, plenty tannins and buttery bourbon.
