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.

Bottled @ cafe derat, medium sample. Slight hazy copper color, medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel, biscuit, bit spicy yeast, some raisin, bit earthy hops. Hardly any coffee, although the bottle promises quite some coffee and having tasted their quadrupel through a ’coffee-rocket’, I was expecting a lot of coffee. But nothing much of that. In taste, quite sweet, slight alcohol. Bit La Trappe Quadrupel like. Maybe a sweet cookie hint and slight sweet coffee note. Was expecting something different. Ok-ish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pr??aris Quadrocinno on 13 Aug 2017 at 22:17 - Score: 6. Original review text: Prima, had iets meer koffie gemogen van mij

A dark brown beer with a medium and beige head. The nose of strong dark fruits and prune, both of them are there also as a fresh mode. Some sweet berries, yeast and bananas, strenght of alcohol. Taste of strong dark fruits, raisins, not heavy, lots of herbs in the end that dries the mouth. Strong taste. Almos full bodied, lightening by high carbonation. Quite simple but also balanced. Good beer.

Hazy brown. Aroma has malts, light caramel, light coffee. The coffee flavour is there but is mellow, served with milk and sugar. Warming alcohol. Nice but I expected more considering this brewer, fancy bottle, high price.
