Vliegende Paard’s third, made with no less than 6 hop varieties. Sticky, yellowish white, stable head, orange blond colour, hazy. Complex hoppy nose, citrussy, grassy, peppery, orange peel, grapefruit, peach, bitter honey, tonic water, raspberry. Fresh onset of lemon zeste and unripe peach, subtle caramel malts, vivid and smooth, strong and complex hop bitterness in the finish, very aromatic, very long, citrussy, herbal and dry and extremely thirst-quenching. Very good IPA.

An even rarer barrel-aged version of Préaris Quadrupel, this one matured on cognac barrels and limited to 2425 bottles. Has the same basic look, aroma and taste as the bourbon version, but seems a bit more vinous, a bit softer and more subtle with less pungent tannins in the background, leading me to like this even more than the bourbon one.

Bourbon barrel-aged version of their quadrupel, only 2700 bottles made. Light beige, thin head, dark bronze colour; strong and inviting aroma of dates, whisky, caramel, coffee grounds, chocolate, red berries, vanilla; deep dark fruity taste, low carbo, vinous and very complex with a deep nutty, chocolatey and caramelly maltiness, smooth, sharpish tannins in the finish, clear bourbon presence but not disturbingly so, warming, with aromatic hop bitterishness. An absolute delight.

Tenacious medium dark cream head over deep brown beer with a faint red sheen. Phenolic, tar, smoked, tarred poles. Charred, smoked, peated, the tarred poles and Islay². Precious little body for such a beer. Feels well-carbonated and slick, but not rich, despite huge alcoholwarming. Not neutral as the cognac barreled version, but here a bit ... light for what it could have been. Not characterful enough to my liking.

2013 version, alcohol 9.5% ABV Medium, irregular dirty-cream head over deep brown, nearly black beer. Vinous & fruity upon opening, then the aromas evaporate, leaving a nutty, leafy, rather neutral nose. Coloured malts. Coffee, chocolate and alcohol, if none of them outspoken. Very lightly vinous Coloured/chocolate malts. Medium to well-bodied, quite slick. Backthroat alcoholburn. Problem is that the beer is generally too neutral in taste/flavour, and the cognac barreling doesn’t alter much to that state.

Bottle. Typical Belgian quadrupel, so a taste of moslty sweet malt. Also some raisin, booze, yeast and soft hopping. Aftertaste is warm and alcoholic, nice when it?s cold, but not per se very good.
