Description
For years we brewed beers in our basement when we read an article in October 2010 about the Brouwland beer competition.We decided to risk our chances and sent our version of a Trappist beer, a dark beer, full malt, of 10%.In March 2011 we were informed that we were selected for the final. Beginning in April 2011 was ultimately the final.The seven finalist beers were tasted by beer connoisseurs, Zythologists Rijckers Anne and Yannick De Cocteau and some Belgian brew masters like Paul Arnott (Dubuisson), and Jean-Marie De Rock (Orval). The first beers were tasted and judged one for one, much was noted. Mutually there was not much talk together ,until they started our beer (the final seven beers were tasted in order of alcohol). All jurors began to talk to each other and two of them even gave us a thumbs up. Then, we knew it was good. After fifteen minutes of deliberations they announced the winner … Vliegend Paard Brouwers from Oedelem with their Préaris Quadrupel.

An off white head on a thick dark caramel body. The nose is sweet and balanced, with brown sugar, dark fruit and a hint of Belgian yeast. The taste is classic quad - sweet ripe fruit, toffee, raisins, some citrus hoppiness, understated Belgian yeast and dense slightly raisted caramel malt. A nice slick mouth feel, medium carbonation and a rich body that is not too sticky.

16/V/25 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared with Thirstybird @ home, BB: 27/IX/27 (2025-481)

Clear brown beer, small creamy light beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: weird, smells like tofu, some soy sauce as well, a soft roast, some chocolate on warming up. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: spicy start, nutmeg, cloves, a bit sweet, yeasty, malty, some bitter touch. Aftertaste: lots of cloves, some bubble gum, more spicy, bitter, roasted malts, a hint of chocolate, cardamom, there’s a lot to it, but it’s a bit much. Feels like it’s going all different places all at once. I only got the nutmeg, no cinnamon or vanilla... :(
