Commercial Description:
The strongest of the special beers. Its flavor is full, mild and pleasantly bitter. Quadrupel is presently available in the autumn, is bottled by the year and is perfect company for those long winter evenings.

Big bottle shared with friends. Always a goodie! Reddish brown, clear pour that leaves a foamy white head that lingers. Sweet malt and alcoholic aroma. Taste is also sweet with some pepper. Medium, chalky body.

Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks!
Pours a rich amber and is semi clear with no lasting head. Smell is toasty and raisin like with tart malt. Semi sweet and nicely flavored with a touch of alcohol showing, but 10% is still hidden well. Some caramel sweetness comes out as well. Medium bodied and pretty nice for the style, I thought.

On tap at the Bulldog NE. Pours a gorgeous ruby red with a thin, lacy white head. Aroma is full and malty, with loads of malt followed by lesser hints of dark fruit, apples, and cherries. Body is creamy and full, with an opening taste of malt, dark fruit, figs, and currants giving way to a long finish of warming alcohol and molasses. Certainly the mellowest of the quads I’ve ever had, though a little lacking in the big flavors as well.

Bottle Pours dark coppery with tawny hints, aroma of round malts, toffee, prunes, and dried pears, strong rounded malty flavours of the palate, which seemed to me better when the beer was colder, and faded with time. Very good.

75cl Bottle. Pours a warm bronze, with short living off-cream head. Full bodied yeast to the nose, and honey, caramel and yeast on the palate, with very reassuring mouthfeel. Well struck balance with the alcohol playing an expertly complementary role. Great quadruple.

Pours clear red brown orange with some bubbly white head. Aroma is caramel apricot syrup. Flavor is creamy fruit, especially peaches. Heavy mouthfeel and lots of malt.
