This Belgian Quad, brewed with mug clubber Mike Wendt, almost jumps out of the glass with its intense malty sweetness, dried fruit flavors of raisins plums & figs, and spicy yeast notes. Adding to that complexity is a bold background note of spicy rye bourbon barrel from Bear Creek Distillery.

Sampling a 12 oz crowler twist off can that I purchased at the brewery about 3 weeks ago. I really dig these twist off cap cans. They survived an airplane flight and maintained carbonation, so kudos!
The beer pours a rich mahogany color with some slight garnet highlights. A creamy khaki colored head foams up about 1 cm and fades to a sturdy edging that sticks around throughout the sampling. I also get some fine clingy lattice when I swirl the glass or take a sip.
Aroma is some raisins, red grapes and prunes mixing with bourbon and some fusol booze. No hop character anywhere. generally malt driven and on the sweeter side of the aroma scale.
First sip reveals a lighter body than expected, but still some stickiness and coating on my palate. Its an interesting combo on the physical side. Carbonation is very fine and sort of tingly. Beer drinks pretty easy for such a high octane brew (14%).
Flavor is also on the sweeter side and malt driven. I get some brown sugar mixing with the dark fruit or raisins and plums. Some rich bourbon and boozy notes come in on the finish, but its bitey booze not hot or warming on my gullet. Still no hop character here either. Ive been happy with both beers I purchased at Strange Craft, I would re-visit the next time in Denver. This big sweeter beer is a winner in my book.
