"Belgian" barleywine, basically a quad with more of a pronounced barley bite. Sweet, slightly thin, delicious.

The best of all worlds, a White Pony quadrupel and bourbon barrel aging. Should be interesting at a minimum. This 33 cl bottle came by way of an appreciated Belgian beer seller. I have out my Teku glass this evening, time to proceed. The sight is a caramel brown liquid finished by an unusual, consistent, white-tan skim of fine bubbles. The nose is heavy with ripe dark fruit followed by grain and whiskey. And the taste is simply delightful, but then I do like quadrupels considerably. But this one is particularly nice. Raisins, sweet cherries, bourbon, multi-grain bread, malt, brown sugar, figs and yeast. Properly dense with a small bit of bitterness. Well done.

I have found quadrupels from White Pony to typically be quality beers and worth the effort to obtain. This 33 cl bottle of Isolation came from a Belgian retailer back early in the summer. The current cold weather makes a sampling this evening an attractive proposition. For this tasting I am using my favored Trappistes Rochefort glass. I tilt the bottle to the waiting glass and see a coppery, caramel colored body with a small eggshell brown head that benefits from a steady recharging. The scent is strong with spices, really I cannot detect much else. And the drink, I say it is unlike any quad I have had previously. The spiciness is not so overwhelming but still obvious. Nutmeg, cardamom, perhaps cinnamon, figs, malt, grain, some toffee sweetness and alcohol. Interesting drink, glad to have had it, but doubt I would purchase again.

Fles gekregen van Inoven, geprobeerd met Roelzie. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot pikzwart bier met een beige schuim. Het heeft een aroma van gebrande mout, chocolade en koffie. De smaak is vol, gebrande mout, koffie en drop.

Murky amber with a frothy, off-white head. Aroma a mix of citrus, caramel and something that, if unkindly seen, might be ear wax. Taste is bitter and full of orange pith and aloe vera at the finish. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Interesting, and not bad, but not tasty either.

Bottle. Color: Dark reddish brown, thin beige head. Aroma: Dark dried fruit, caramel, yeasty, boozy. Taste: Dark dried fruit, sweetish, toffee. Boozy hints. Over medium to full body, below average carbonation. Quite smooth wheat malt body. Over moderate to medium sweet, light bitterness. It's been quite a while since I've had a beer from White Pony. This one is a nice one, although it's not a typical Weizenbock in my opinion.
