Church Brew Cherry Quadzilla

Brewed by Church Brew Works
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA

Courtesy of Beerman6686. Pours hazy deep rose with thin white head. The aroma is moderate in strength and carries notes of prunes, cherries and black pepper. There’s also a mild under current of sour tartness. The taste is prune, cherry and a moderate level of black pepper. A nice smooth sweetness seems to run from front to back and balancing the peppery-ness and dark cherry fruitiness.

my first quad. aged just about 2 years depending on actual brew date. great color. not sure how i feed about this much cherry. dont know that i will get one again, but can accept that its a good brew if you like this sort of thing.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Miver. Pours a clear amber golden with an off-white head. Sweetish fruity aroma with light notes of yeast. Quite full-bodied with plenty of fruit, a little phenols and yeast. Not many traces of cherries though. A little sulphurous with a dry finish and some alcohol showing. 010509

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a bit of sediment floating around under a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit - especially peaches on a malty back ground. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of spices - primarily cloves, as well as medium notes of malt, alcohol, peaches, and perfume, leading to a dry alcoholic and spicy finish.
