Belgian-style quadrupel ale brewed with spices
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.

Bottle from Paiste2002, thanks! Dark brown color. Malty nutty aroma wuith nutmeg and pear juice. Malty sweet flavor with pear juice, mango, cinnamon, nutmeg and some warming alcohol. Very pleasant beer, the fruity sweetness hides the alcoholic power. Good, but maybe a bit too onedimensional sweet to be top class.

Courtesy of fishingnet. Thanks Ben. It pours amber with a bit of haze and copper edges to go along with a thin tan head. The aroma is big and sticky with apple and pear sweetness, malt sweetness and some booze at the end. The taste is full on sweetness from pears and ripe red sugary slippery apples. By midway a layer of malt sweetness comes to the surface adding to the medley of sweet goodness. Nice drinking brew considering the big bold sweetness going on here.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Grovlam. Pours a slightly hazy deep amber with a small beige head. Plummy aroma. Full-bodied, low in carbonation, notes of overripe fruit, sherry, a little yeast with a vague underlying tartness. No bitterness. 290509

Bottled. A hazy red beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt, caramel, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of malt, over ripe fruits, and alcohol, as well as medium notes of caramel, the alcohol leaves a burn on the tongue and a slight burn in the throat.

Blind tasting at Papsø’s
Hazy amber color; small head. It has a very light aroma (sweet caramel, oily French Fries); the flavor is better, sweetish caramel, with Bourbon vanilla; there is a late sourness that doesn’t fit in. Too high bitterness. I guess they wanted to make a barrel aged Quadrupel, but it came out too chaotic.

Bottle, 75cl. Thx to Papsoe. It pours a clear, copper body under a beige head of moderate size. The aroma has canned fruits syrup, mostly peaches, with hops, alcohol and caramel as well. Sweet, syrupy flavor with alcohol, some spices and a phenolic touch. Full-bodied and warming. Long, warm, sweet finish. A rather nice beer, but on the sweet, syrupy side. It’s sort of like candy with alcohol. (090508)

Bottle: Poured a deep clear copper color ale with a medium light brown foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with some light dry fruits notes. Taste is dominated by sweet malt and is almost overly sweet with very subtle notes of dry fruits and a unrefined grain finish. Body is quite full with average carbonation and no noticeable alcohol. A bit deceiving overall with lacking complexity and some overly dominant sweetness.

Bottle: Stunning amber pour with a finger of creamy beige head. Sweet aroma with hints of Belgian spices. Not overly intense, yet still rich. Tastes rich and again sweet with light Belgian spices. Hints of bananas, cloves, and yeast. A deep, surrounding sweet maltiness rounds out the flavor. Thick mouthfull. Quite enjoyable.
