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.

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)

From bottle, blind #13. Pours hazy orange to brown with a small tan head. Dry caramel malt, slight oxidised note in the aroma. Overripe fruity too. Sweet, fruity, yeasty and light oxidised flavoured. Mild acidic touch. Vague metallic. acidic and dark roasted malt flavoured finish.Lasting spiced and yeatsy into the far finish.

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.

Thanks to goldtwins for sharing - sticky sweet aroma, with some fruit skin tartness to balance it - a bit of cherry and vanilla - the flavor is a bizarre mix of strong sweetness and fruit skin tartness - a tiny bit of spiciness - the heavy sweetness washes out a lot of the potential character of the beer - quads should be sweet, sure, but they should be a lot more complex than this.

Bottle from Bottle Trek. Ruby copper color with a large tan head. Aromas suggesting a quad. Dark stuff and yeast. Some heat, but not much. Medium plus body with smooth carbonation. Flavor is quad malt/yeast appropriate, with hints of pear and dark fruit. Burns just slightly. Finish goes mildly sweet to dry. It’s not Westy 12, but close enough to claim the style. Drink it.

Draft. Rich ruby-amber beer with an off-white head. Light pear, dark fruit, yeast aroma. Yeast, malt, pear/green apple flavor that’s slightly sugary. Medium bodied. Malt, yeast, pear/green apple lingers with light alcohol and light sugars. Will get better.
