Quadrupel – this time including the ‘religious’ association stemming from the trappist traditions in which the style originated – from a brewing company in Breda I had never heard of, thanks Hinke for sharing! Medium thick, moussey, beige-ish off-white, breaking and slowly dissolving head on a misty brownish-tinged warm and deep amber-coloured robe. Aroma of caramel candy, solventy effects of varnish and wood glue, nougat, almond paste, sweet sherry, dried peaches, apricot jam, armagnac, marmalade. Sweet onset yet not sticky, candied peach and fig jam notes, red apple too, softish carb with smooth, medium full body; hard-caramelly, slightly nutty and somewhat biscuity, slick and bit resinous maltiness, mild floral hop bitterness in the end, some of those solventy effects returning and finally heating bourbon- to brandy-like alcohol with peppery effects. Overly solventy, lacking a bit in body and a tad too boozy: a quadrupel, like its inventors the trappist monks, should show more contemplation and restraint. Does show some promise, though.

Black with a minimal head. A chocolate cake aroma, roasted malt, soy sauce and wooden barrels sense. Sweet with a warm chocolate, roasted malt and tonka end.

Aus der Dose (bbe 30.06.2024) im 2023-11 getrunken. Diese blonde Ale startet mit einer feinen Honignote, die später aber verschwindet und mehr Platz für eine leichte Hopfennote. Ein sehr schönes Bier für den Sommer.

Aus der Flasche im 2023-10 getrunken. Diese orange-braune Ale kommt mit eine hellen Kernfrucht und leichten Hopfenbitterkeit daher. Auch wenn es ein Quardruple sein soll erinnert es mich eher an ein schwach gehopfes American Strong Ale.
