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.

clear brown, smooth brown head. nice nutty aroma, roasted malts, so roasted that the arma has notes like a porter. still clearly a quad though. flavor is roasted malts, faint licorice like flavor, powdered sugar, faint dark dried fruits, but flavor wise, it is pretty close to a porter. Taste is pretty good, dry.. blind tasted it would be tagged porter or stout i’m sure.

750ml, bottled March 25th 2014.

It pours t dark brown, over an inch of off white foam and kills it with the lacing.

Dark pitted fruit and caramel malt straight up in the smell. Hint of slight oxidation.

The taste is delightful. Dark pitted fruit with a mild sweetness from the malt and, again, hints of oxidation. Bit of cardboard and butterscotch. In a quantity that’s easily manageable for my palate.

I call it full bodied with medium carbonation.

An excellent example of a Quad here. I am glad that I got to enjoy a bottle all the myself.
