This Belgian style strong ale is rich in malty sweetness despite the relatively simple grain bill, which is what brewers call the grains that are used to make the wort. (Wort is the pre-beer liquid that is created by extracting fermentable sugars from the malt with hot water -- it’s essentially beer before the yeast is added). The Quad is brewed with Belgian yeast that produces esters (fruity flavors produced during fermentation), which give the beer its dark fruit notes of plum, cherry and raisin, along with a hint of spiciness. This big, dark beer is then aged in bourbon barrels from Heaven Hill for five months. The barrels impart some woodiness, bourbon flavor, and notes of vanilla to the beer, while mellowing it out to a deceptively smooth brew whose big ABV (alcohol by volume) of 11.4% is almost undetectable on the palate. Watch out, this Quad is complex and dangerous, but lots of fun to drink.
