Type of beer: Belgian-style Quadrupel Ale
Price: ???

A few weeks back my awesome neighbor texted saying he had a “present” for me. I decided I would take the 10 foot walk over to see what it was and what a lovely present indeed, it was this beer! I finally decided to crack open this beer and give it a go. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect out of a quadrupel ale but I found it to be fairly good. Since it was belgian-style I was expecting a fairly light and refreshing beer that still had a fairly high alcohol content. Well, two out of those three characteristics was true :) . Don’t get me wrong this was a good beer it was just a lot sweeter than I was expecting. When you read the label it says it was made with “dark Belgian candy sugar” which is a sweetner for beers to make the body of the beer lighter and increase the alcohol content. All very interesting but what does this beer taste like? It is pretty sweet, has a caramel color to it and is slightly carbonated.

Overall I thought this was a good beer but a bit different from the normal “belgian-style” beers I drink. It was a little bit smoother and a whole lot sweeter. I enjoyed this beer but I think I would have enjoyed it more on a winter night instead of on a 90 degree summer day :) .

The good: A tasty, sweet belgian and goes well with mushrooms
The bad: It isn’t refreshing on a really hot day

Overall taste: ★★★☆☆ 

Bitterness: ☆☆☆☆☆ 

Smoothness: ★★★★☆ 

Overall rating: ★★★★☆
