Beer Works Belgian Quadruple

Brewed by Beer Works
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Boston, Massachusetts USA

On tap at Lowell Beer Works, 25 October 2009. Cloudy orange. Intense fruit throughout. Plums and raisins. Some bubblegum esters. Some candi sugar - slightly caramelised - and spicy notes. Also lots of orange marmalade with a sharp edge. Sweet and mouth filling but not too cloying.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear medium orange color with an off white head. Pleasant spicy aroma full of clove, tree bark, and a hint of dark fruits. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and an almost oily mouth feel. Lots of clove in the flavor with dark fruit and subdued brown sugar notes. Pretty good.
