Tradition and innovation, consider this a blend. We innovated by staying the course. This quadruple ale sings traditionally familiar notes of dark sugar, caramel, spice, and a Bruery twist with the addition of poached pear, for a well balanced, fruit-forward, ale. Meant to be shared over special occasions with family and friends.

Draft pour at Dominion Wine and Beer. Poured a dark cola color without much of a head. Aroma was light Christmas spices, mild fruit, sweet candi sugar. Booze. Flavor was light caramelized toffee, sweetness.

Bottle thanks to Jorden. Pours a muddy water with no head. The aroma is muted leather and dark fruit. Slick body, watery, old and no flavor.

A substantial 750 ml bottle, I do not see many of these anymore, that came from the Rare Beer Club last year. The label indicates this is a 2020 edition, no matter, it will be consumed in 2023. I have had one other of the 12 Days of Christmas brews, that was likewise a quadrupel and quite good. For this sampling I have brought out the Trappistes Rochefort glass, it is only right to do so. The pour is a dense, cola brown color with a bare touch of steadily replenished, light tan foam. The scent shows promise with candied fruit, grain and spice. I lift the glass for a drink. Very nice. Chewy dates, raisins, a hint of chocolate, yeast, dark bread, malt and a decent little touch of spiciness. A festive beer, my spirits are raised just having a taste. Another fine example of the many quadrupels I have sampled, without question my favorite beer style. My 1500th rating, I'm happy it was this brew.
