33cl bottle. A clear reddish brown beer with a big beige head. Aroma of mild vanilla, dark ripe fruits, wood, booze. Taste of dried dark fruits, vanilla, wood, boozy finish.

Good cream-coloured head, dense, over red-brown beer, faintly veiled. Perfumed nose, sweet rosepetal-like aroma. Amandine, some lightly coloured malts. Boozy, dark(er) malts basic beer with a serious dash of cheap whisky. Almonds, human sweat. Alcoholthinning, alcoholheat, medium carbonation. No. This one is way too easy, too cheap. Alcoholinfused, instead of Barrel aged. Txs to Stef!

Brown colour with lasting head. The sweet, grainy, candy elements of the Quad are well matched against the oak flavour. The dryness from the wood works well.

Special version of Maenhout's quadrupel Ferre (named after a 17th century Flemish missionary), aged for half a year on oak chips and infused with whisky. Medium thick, moussy, large-bubbled, stable, somewhat creamy, pale greyish beige head on an initially crystal clear, reddish coppery-mahogany brown beer, turning hazy with sediment. Aroma of hard caramel, indeed whisky, raisins, brown sugar, a whiff of oak wood, bubblegum, soggy toast, pecan nut, tea, dates. Sweet onset, fig and raisin notes, some banana, fizzy carbonation with supple body - feeling considerably lighter than expected at this strength; a 'blonde' sugary sweetness remains draped over a caramelly and brown-bready maltiness, but does not become too sticky anywhere. Some herbal hop bitterishness in the finish, flanked by indeed an oaky wood flavour (vague vanilla - yet soft in tannins) and, as expected, quite some boozy whisky, heating the throat yet somehow managing to avoid unpleasant wryness. A toasty-bitter malt accent lingers alongside a sweet sugary remnant. Relatively well balanced and less in-your-face than I was fearing as I do not usually like liquor-infused beers; the very classic quadrupel profile of the basic beer is as good as intact and only a bit 'embellished' with boozy whisky and subtle oakiness. Not too bad, but not stellar either - like the regular.
