Rather dense yellow head, stable, over deep garnet, brilliant beer, lacey. Sweet, woody, dried fruit as plums, dates, figs; molasses, fusels, vanilla, condensed sweetened milk, milkchocolate. Sharpish bitter, fruity flavours. Fruit-filled chocolate, vanilla, wood, liquorice, booze. Very thick and viscous, oily despite good carbonation. Alcoholheat. Sweet - maybe just a tad too much liquorice for a top Barley Wine as from the States or the UK. Still, not unmeritory. Txs to Stef!

The quad in this Bruges la Morte series by Fort Lapin, referring to the title of a 19th-century novel by Georges Rodenbach, a relative of the founder of the Rodenbach brewery. Thanks tderoeck for sharing. Thick and frothy, membrane-lacing, pale yellowish beige head on a clear mahogany brown beer with bronze core. Aroma of toasted brown bread, tree leaves, iron shavings, nutmeg, clove, dry caramel, old ‘jenever’, some brown honey and a whiff of coffee grounds. Dried fig and baked banana in the onset with a dash of prune, sweet with medium carb; full mouthfeel, but with a metallic ‘zing’ to it due to doubtlessly added iron. Brown-bready, dry-caramelly maltiness with a nutty edge and a toasty bitterish aspect, combining with a leafy hop bitter element but also this annoying iron effect; warming, brandy-like alcohol in the finish. The iron bothered me a bit and the toastiness here is outspoken enough to qualify as a Scotch rather than a typical quadrupel. Decent enough, but not worth going out of your way to find it.

23/VII/24 - 75cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Alengrin’s place, BB: 26/IV/25 (2024-588)
Clear red brown beer, big solid creamy beige head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: chlorine, alcohol, some solvents, a bit of dried fruits. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: a little sweet, somewhat metallic, dried fruits, quite some chlorine, soft roast. Aftertaste: pretty bitter, a bit hoppy, lots of alcohol, banana and banana peel, a bit metallic in the finish.
