33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Kulenborgse Bierhandel. Dark brown with an off-white head. Massive bourbon aroma with dark caramel, dried fruits and vanilla. Sweet taste with a boozy bourbon finish. Too sweet for my taste but the bourbon is wonderfull.

20 May 2023. At Leuven Innovation Beer Festival. Shared with the lovely Anke!
A: hazy dark brown, thin, tan head.
A: toasted coconut, vanilla, bourbon, toffee, raisin.
T: very sweet date, raisin, toffee, vanilla, vague biscuit.
F: herbal hops, coconut, dried fruit, warming bourbon alcohol.
P: full body, oily-syrupy texture, soft carbonation.
Utterly enjoyable heavy Quad; have an extra point for not letting the bourbon turn it into an acetaldehyde mess.

Bourbon barrel aged quad by these new stars of the Rotterdam craft brewing scene (thanks Kaapse for that). Pale greyish white, dense, moussy but opening head on a misty mahogany-bronze brown beer with purplish-red glow. Aroma of caramel candy and caramel sauce, candied fig, vanilla from the oak and indeed bourbon, Ferrero Rocher candy, brown honey, candi sugar, actual wood (subtle), treacle, almond, hints of coconut and Cola Zero. Sweet onset, lots of dark candi sugariness, sweet red apple, dates and pears, medium carbonated, full and soft body; caramelly, lightly hazelnutty and brown-bready malt core with a lot of honeyish sugariness left on top, the sweetness only accentuated by vanilla-like oak wood and sweet-boozy bourbon, also turning a bit rum-like. A herbal hop note resides in the undergrowth, but sweetness, though in a layered, complex and in that sense interesting manner, remains the key element. I recall that this was also the case in one of their barrel aged imperial stouts I had a while ago – is overt sweetness a benchmark of ROTT? I hope not, but there is no denying that the few beers I had from them so far, are ‘deep’, full, sophisticated and cleverly constructed in spite of the exaggerated sweetness, so have a decent score.
