Belgian Quad is a fortified dark strong ale that is meant to be a “winter warmer”. Tipping the scale at nearly 10%, this tawny- coloured ale has flavours reminiscent of plums, raisins, treacle and leather. Another beer aged in Cabernet Sauvignon Barrels.

On tap at Brewhouse, pours a hazy amber/light brown with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out candi sugar, some estery notes from the Belgian yeast, and dark fruits. Flavour is somewhat tart for the style, with candi sugar, gently tart red fruits, and moderate estery notes. Totally inauthentic — shouldn't be tart and there's no real complexity. The palate is light and the booze is a bit perfumey. Valiant attempt to do such a style but it needs a lot of work. Not good.
