AB:16, our latest concept beer, is a smooth and luxuriant Belgian Quad infused with coffee beans. On the nose you might find warming clove and nutmeg, cafe au lait, subtle dark fruit notes, and hints of candied lemon peel.
The combination of aromas evokes malt loaf or ginger cake. On the palate, smooth & fruity espresso, milk chocolate, and warm brandy-soaked currants are in the middle of a high-class dance-off off against the spicy and peppery Belgian character. the mouthfeel is smooth and rich, and the beer pours a deep copper colour.
Malts:Extra pale, munich, crystal, chocolate, wheat
Hops:Waimea, Saaz, Fuggles

Bottle at Taps Beer Bar, Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy dark brown with little life. The aroma is smoky dry ash tray malt, light floral, sweet caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet with a rich smooth grainy alcoholic bitter palate. Fully bodied with soft carbonation.

Appearance- dark, mahogany, ruby tinge, not much head to speak of, just a few off-white bubbles. Aroma- port, red wine, fruitcake, cherry skins, caramel, dark fruit, boozy hints, slight nuttiness, marzipan, wine again. Quite a lot going on. Taste- Madeira wine, sweet fruitcake, coffee and chocolate, raisin and cherry, burnt cherry cake, treacle, almond, marzipan. Mouthfeel is juicy and flat, and pretty thin. Lots of flavours in here, let down a bit by the mouthfeel.

Bottle at home. Two year old bottle. The color is clear dark brown with nearly no head. Aroma of dried fruit, brown sugar, wort, maple honey, nuts and chocolate. The flavour is similar with prunes, wort, oak and some alcohol. Has a stick and silky mouth feel, surprisingly light to medium body and a light bitterness. A pretty sweet quad, but quite tasteful.

0,375ml bottle at home courtesy of Sebilinz, big thanks. Bottled 03/2014, #2737. redish brown color, small off-white head. smells of grapes, wine, malty backbone, berries, some sweetness, some wood. very nice smell. full body, soft carbonation, oily mouthfeel. tastes malty sweet, grapes, wine, a bit acidic, light wood notes, marzipan, noticeable alcohol. finishes with light pines and red wineish notes. good stuff, a bit too alcoholic, not overly complex but drinkable. Overall nice, too malty sweet though, but has some hoppy / adicic notes on the finish.

No head whatsoever, despite fine carbonation in flat-looking, muddy cola-coloured beer. Vinous, alcoholic; raisins, plums and other liqueurish aromas. Tannines suggested, old wood. Again vinous flavour, but less depth; with chocolate, tobacco; and fine bitterish-herbal overtones on a sweet, portwine-like basis; raisins. Warming up, really lots of liquorice. Rather thin MF despite obviously a high final gravity; undercarbonated. COΒ² would definitely benefit it.

Bottled@Kaisla, Helsinki. Deep rubyish brown colour with a minor slightly off-white head. Aroma is chocolate, some ripe fruits, mild toffee and spices along with mild alcohol. Flavour is quite similar. Tasty, but a bit on the boozy side.

Bottle ( GOD I hate these synthetic corks ) pours thick, clear dark copperbrown with a small white head. Smell is sweet, vanilla, leaves-in-the-fall / earthy. To the sweet side, with a hint of some herbs? Taste is sweet, chocolaty, some grains. Very hidden bitter aspect. candi sugar, earhty. Just like other ABβs, its a good beer, just not as good as you want for the price you pay
