A friend of mine picked up a can from the brewery 12-17-22. No canning date; consumed 7-12-23.
Beer gushed open but prevented spillage this time as i was prepared! The dark brown brew poured fairly flat and little head was generated from a vigorous pour.
Nose is okay as the dark fruit forward attributes are masked by the strawberry brandy barrel.
Taste is a large malt base in which the hot peppers impart a touch of smoke and heat, but only with the first sip. Strawberry Brandy barrel overrides the wonderful yeast attributes noted from sipping the base beer the other day. Finishes too sweet.
Mouthfeel is light bodied with each sip being very smooth.
Overall the Strawberry Brandy barrel ruins what was a really good Belgian Quad.
