Belgian-style strong ale Quad that lives up to its name: smooth, full-bodied, complex, and brimming with magic.

Brewed with Pils, Spezial W, and Abbey malts, it offers a deep array of flavors: dried fruits, Belgian candied sugar, and subtle spicy notes from the abbey yeast. All of this lies beneath a dark amber hue with ruby highlights that suggest its subtle warmth, making it the perfect companion for desserts, chocolates, or strong cheeses, doubling as an excellent digestif.

Let yourself be enchanted by the magic of Candy Man Can.

I have a 440 ml can obtained from my main Belgian beer retailer quite a while ago. My experience with Basqueland beers has been rather positive so I have hopes for this quadrupel. A Belgian glass ready, I open the can and pour. The body is a La Trappe quad brown with a slender cover of very fine bubbles that is consistently recharged. I get a mostly traditional quadrupel scent. Ripe fruit, grain, yeast and a sweetness somehow. The drink continues the beer's traditional roots. Red plums, raisins, baked bread, malt, a small astringency, candy and paper. No let down for me in expectations, I have a decent quad here.

Canned 440ml. -from Goblet Zagreb. Darker amber coloured with red glare, small to medium sized pale beige head, candy dried fruits in the nose. Sweet malty, candy, yeasty, notes of dried fruits and some banana with warming finish. Too sweet.
