Proef de quadrupel van Kees! Dit bier heeft een dieproodbruine kleur en een zacht zoete smaak. De alcohol in het bier zorgt voor een warme roes. Voor dit bier hebben we gekozen voor Amerikaanse hopsoorten die zorgen voor fruitige aroma’s. Een heerlijk genietbier van om eens rustig voor te gaan zitten.

On tap at the Brugge Beer Festival 2025, Brugge, Belgium. A ruby/amber/brown coloured pour with a decent off white/beige head on top. Rich, sweet, malty, fruity, caramel, vanilla taste/aroma. An enjoyable barley wine that was almost American in taste due to the hops used. My kind of beer.

Almost no head over dark cognac-coloured beer. I seem to smell coriander - and a lot of it, at that, but it doesn't figure on the ingredients' list. "Hot" malts, orangezeste, vanilla. Again coriander, really as opening a package of seeds. Fake citrus, and dry spices, alcohol. Alcohol, yes, but 11.5% surprises. Medium carbonation, alcoholthinning. I really struggle to believe on coriander had been added. If not, yeastfeature. And then I hate the spice...

Roodbruin bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is zoet en frutiig met iets van druiven, wat honing, bessen, kandij en cognac. Helaas ietwat waterig in de mond.

Can. Brown. A beige head is soon less than a coat. Glossy pastry aroma with some prunes, citrus and spices. Fullish bodied but well short of syrupy. Neat bitterness lifts away the sweetness which has some prune, some doughy bread and some brown sugar. Covers the alcohol. I just can get enough, but enjoyed it well enough.

Can @ Mathews tasting. Pours reddish chestnut with light brown head. Aroma is prunes, malt syrup, red wine, blackcurrant, cranberry, cherry, and liquorice. Taste is medium sweet, light bitter and faint acidic. Body is oily with medium carbonation. Finish is long and mostly sweet with notes of sherry, prunes, raisins, syrup, blackcurrant and liquorice.

Can, 11.5%. Caramelly aroma, candy-cane. Almost clear reddish copper colour. Unstable fizzy head. The flavour has a good note of light caramel, again candy-cane but without the peppermint, more like tea. Mild sweetness, balanced well by the alcohol which by the way does not show itself too much in the flavour. A little alcohol bitterness can be felt in the finish, though.

33 cl can obtained from Ingmar at Smaakhuis, well done sir. A large Straffe Hendrik tulip awaits the pour. I see a coppery red liquid completed by a ring of light tan foam replenished by a steady charge of carbonation. The nose is black raisins, grain, dark fruit and earth. The taste is good for coming out of a can. Syrup, brown sugar, dark plums, toasted bread, caramel, wood and something a bit medicinal from somewhere. A pitch down the middle of the plate for a quad.
