A decade in the making. After years of hypothesizing and planning, the long-awaited collaboration between Category 12 & Dageraad has moved from theory to reality. To celebrate our tenth anniversary, we’ve crafted Theoretical - a Belgian-style ale that embodies our shared passion for experimentation and excellence.

Brewed with meticulous attention to detail and a touch of whimsical curiosity, this quadruple offers rich notes of dark fruit, caramelized sugars, and a warm, complex finish. It’s a toast to friendship, innovation, and a decade of daring to brew differently.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear-ish orangey copper with small off-white head. Phenolic, estery, thin, some dark sugars, a touch boozy, Dageraad didn't help much here. Meh.

500 ml bottle. Pours mahogany with light head. Aromas of raisins, mineral water, biscuity malts and a bit of Christmas cake spice. Flavors follow same with additional copper/metallic elements and earthy yeast. A very North American version of a Quad with the typical metallic elements and more earthy yeast than a typical Belgian. Good enough.
