Description
Four Quarters Brewing, founded in March 2014, is a 10 barrel brewery located in Winooski VT specializing in sours, stouts, and hoppy beers.

Four Quarters embodies the cycle of life that each ingredient makes on its way to your glass. A seed is carefully planted and nurtured, growing with the energy of the sun, Earth, wind, and rain. Its fruits are harvested, later the seeds, and the cycle of life starts again. Our logo, the moon phases, encapsulates this cycle, present in every living thing. When we create, we are celebrating the Earth and everything that grows within.

It is our hope, that by thoughtfully crafting each and every beer with this cycle in mind, we can pass to our drinker, not just a glass of delicious brew, but our passion, our love, and our thankfulness, for all things in our natural world. If you’re ever in Vermont, we’d love to have you come visit our taproom.

We also distribute our beer throughout Vermont, Maine, and eastern Massachusetts.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow color with a slight transparency about it; a quickly dissipating foamy head didn't leave any lace
Aroma: loads of basil; some lemon and tomato-like vegetable sweet juiciness; green pepper? yeah, I think so.
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a savory to sweet and slightly tart to spicy (peppery noted) character; finishes tomato-like with some basil herbal sweet tones
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness along the tongue but also some tart acidity activating some subtle harshness to the tongue (mostly pretty faint, though)
Overall: interesting beer to have tried, and though it might be odd, I think I could come back to this preferably in the Summer.

Can to tulip.

Aroma: some pomme-like fruity notes, floral hop notes; light barnyard to clean cement and/or basementy-tone and clean funky note; some woody spicy notes
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet rustic quality onto a fine funky pomme-like fruity character; finishes slightly rustic and funky dry
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but a brisk woody spicy nip to the tongue that more or less just seems really faint

Can to weizen glass.
Appearance: dark amber to brown color with a three and a half fingers of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: soft sweet chocolate tones with some banana esters and clove spices; sweet wheaty tones and a light caramel sweetness in there too
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality underscored by the clove spice quaintly; finishes semi-chocolatey, caramel-like and a bit of the banana estery tones
Texture: full bodied, slightly sessionable; some smoothness but also has a slight "wheaty bite" to it but seems very Americanized and faint
Overall: for the most part, it's a pretty good attempt at a Dunkelweizen and I applaud the effort from an American brewer to try and brew this style.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger's worth of tan foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweeet blueberries with a touch of tart character from them and a substantial milk chocolate tone in there
Flavor: intertwines the prior noted aromas to a fine variety of different sweet aspects; finishes like chocolate covered blueberries
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; great smoothness along the tongue with nothing distracting; good carb level
Overall: what a nice version of the chocolate drop impy stouts but then again - maybe a slight bias from me since I love blueberries so much.
