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.

Bottle at Delirium Cafe, pours a deep dark brown with a small amber tinge and a medium tan head. Aroma brings out lots of toffee and brown sugar, and some cocoa and coffee grounds further back. Flavour is quite burnt, with burnt coffee grounds, with toffee and burnt sugar. This is the most burnt quad I've had. Quite complex nevertheless, but a little difficult to drink. Not great.

37.5cl bottle courtesy of and shared with Tderoeck. BB 26/03/2017. Bottle #2109. Is it BA or not? where is the wood? Couleur cuivrée foncée, col épais crémeux blanc cassé. Arôme est simplement centré sur le tourbé avec un léger résiduel doux sucré. Palais est ici aussi fortement centré sur le tourbé. Soit on aime ou pas, question d’habitude. Note malt caramel assez doux, résiduel sucre brun avec pas franchement de note boisée. Rappelle bcp le ’liquid smoke’. Pas mauvaise, mais très monodimensionnelle tellement le ’peat’ domine.

330ml bottle from T Brugs Beer, Bruges. Take-out & drunk at home in the garden in Ford, Shropshire. Pours black with cream head. Sweet molasses on the nose, continues to the taste with light chocolate as it warms and some dried fruits. Very pleasant Quad.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, deep brown colour with a beige and firm medium-sized foamy head. Nutty dark malty aroma with notes of dried fruits, plums, leather, yeasty spices and a tinge of brown sugar, accompanied by a mildly vinous sourness. Moderately sweet and delicately bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a calm, well-carbonated mouthfeel. Slightly roasted malty aroma with notes of caramel, dried fruits, chocolate, mocha and slightly liqueur-like sugary sweetness, accompanied by a mildly roasty bitterness towards the lasting and alcohol-warming finish. Very nice and not too fat. 22.V.14

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, golden colour with a big and slightly off-white foamy head. Yeasty, delicately bready malty and slightly citric and floral, but most of all herbal hoppy aroma. Bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Mildly malty base by Belgium standards with present hoppy notes, including fruity, slightly floral and herbal flavours; quite lingering hoppy and mildly malty finish. Likeable and sessionable Saison. 20.V.14

Little cloudy dark purple to brown beer, huge aery beige fluffy head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very very peated, bit sweet, dusty, caramel, sugary. MF: ok carbon, very lively for a barrel aged beer, I think. Medium body. Taste: bit sweet, fruity touch, raisins, then very peated, some sweet caramel, banana, sugary. Aftertaste: peated, pretty bitter, medicinal touch, some banana peel, metallic touch, sweet caramel as well.

Bottle from De Hopduvel. Hazy yellow colour, white foam. Refreshing beer, notes of citrus with orange peel and some spices (coriander). Rather thin. Good example of the style, not my favourite style.
