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.

750ml. Big foamy off-white/beige head on top of an unfiltered burgundy brown body. Chalky subdued aroma. Fruity and rich, but doesn’t have the depth or mouthfeel of typical Belgian examples. Raisin, red fruit all the way. Sweet and sugary, not that impressive for a Belgian. OK.

0.33l bottle. Black body, light-brown head. Aroma of cocoa, coffee, cherries, spicy hops and booze. Taste of cherries, cocoa, floral hops, booze and beetroot (which is quite weird for me). Won’t be my favourite quad.

Donkerbruin bier met schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig met iets rook, koffie, bittere chocolade en toffee. Heeft helaas iets te weinig body om echt een topper te zijn. Komt wat waterig over. Smaak blijft redelijk lang hangen.

Aroma has nuts, some coffee, ripe fruits and mild toffee. Flavour has cold coffee, some licorice, ashy tones, minerals and some apricot. Alcohol comes through after some sips. Foamy palate. Too much on the dry side.
