Favorite Quads

I love 6th Glass. Avery Reverend is a good one too. Quads are just good.

 

Victory - V-Twelve is one of those diamond in the rough beers that gets lost in the Quad shuffle.

 

I love the abt 12, when I started my beer cellar it's the first thing i picked up, still haven't opened a single bottle of the oak aged yet, the timing never feels right nor the moment momentous enough

 

Excellent choices! I've had almost all of those over the years.

Cheers!

 

Rocheffort 10,Westy XXII,and St.Bernardus Abt 12 is all you will ever need..the holy trinity of Quads

 

Throwing Weyerbacher Quad out there... probably one of the first craft beers to knock me on my a$$

 

Gulden Draak 9000 is amazing, also Stickee Monkee, clown shoes has a quad as well, The Peace that money cant buy.

 

N'ice Chouffe. Really nice spices, the ultimate winter warmer.

 

Who said anything about drinking it fresh? I bought one of my Rocheforts 10s from a store that tends to have things around for a while and I think the 10 had been sitting around for at least a year before I bought it, and then it stuck around in my cellar for another year or so. And I did think it was pretty excellent, I just thought the balance, burn, and flavor profile on 8 was more reasonable, while the 10 seemed more like everything about it was trying too hard, like a fine steak with too much seasoning and sauce. It's made with the same recipe as the 8, so if I'm supposed to cellar 10 for a decade until the yeast and fusel flavors mellow out it tastes more like 8, I'd rather just skip the years of waiting (or drink any of the other quads I like better).

 

You'd be surprised how much beer is making it to China these days. My cousin sends me beer lists from Shanghai and Hong Kong and sometimes they make me jealous. It appears there's plenty of good craft to be had out there if one knows where to look.

 

Track 8 by the lost abbey is great if you can find it

 

Fergit Belgian-style quads, go for the Holy Grail -- Knee Deep's Hop-D-Ranged, a quadruple IPA.

 

Yeah, but my point is that it won't taste like the 8. The 8 fades after two years in the cellar and becomes really thin. The 10 peaks at 5 years.

 

That's good to hear! I just grabbed a bottle of this the other day.

 

I hope someday Unibroue's Grande Réserve 17 gets mentioned in these lists. Absolutely fantastic!

 

It got mentioned today!

Cheers!

 

Without getting too much into semantics, I never really think of that as a "quad" (though a questionable style in itself). An amazing beer, but pretty different to most of the other beers mentioned.

 

As stated before in other quad threads, not a real Belgian(-style) quad.

 

St Bernardus makes an oak aged Abt 12.

Here is an old thread discussing this topic: http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/st-bernardus-abt-12-oak-aged.235484/
