Best wel goed gedaan! #peru

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 6

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, tan head that shows about a single centimetre in height and not much movement underneath. Aroma of pitted fruits, rich caramelised sugars, a bunch of earth and nuttiness with some bright prunes and plums and a good raisin kick at the end - very strong in the nose. Full-bodied; Rich, earthy and nutty malts dominate with some cereal and grainy kick that has some musty, slightly mushroomy and meaty notes, but some light pitted fruits hit at the end, with a bit of dryness from the malts. Aftertaste is pretty robust and well-rounded with a bit of graininess from the malts and a lot of cereal in the finish with some smooth sugars, although not as much as I expected, and some definite yeastie components, but nothing too strong or pungent. Overall, a decent enough beer, but obviously not as complex, rich or flavourful as 'real' Quads from Belgium, but that was expected. This was a nice option, considering that I'd never think I'd see this style attempted in this country, nor expect to find this in a grocery store, but it was a welcome option with other lighter beers as the norm here. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Wong [grocery store] in San Isidro, Lima, Peru on 01-August-2022 for S./ 12,90 sampled in my hotel room here in Miraflores, Lima, Peru on 06-August-2022.
