Our Quadrupel features notes of stone fruit from a Belgian abbey yeast strain and the taste of sweet toffee from a touch of Belgian Candi syrup. This mahogany-colored ale is fermented with a distinct Belgian abbey ale strain, then bottle conditioned with extra sugar and yeast for at least two weeks. European hops add balance to the sweetness of the malt and yeast.
In the United States, the term “Quadrupel” refers to a very strong, dark ale with a spicy, fruit flavor and high alcohol content. The beer style is intended to be stronger than a Belgian-style Tripel, so the alcohol content tends to be 10% or more. Beyond these guidelines, there is still discussion among brewers as to what constitutes a Quadrupel.
Serve at 40-45 degrees. Decant fully after opening to prevent natural yeast sediment from clouding the beer. (Description provided by company)
Comments
Nice quad by Schlafly
Schlafly's Quadrupel came out of the bomber a burnt orange color with a finger thick beige head. The head soon left and no lacing was evident. Smell is dark fruits, caramelized sugar, booze, and honey. The quad's flavor is mostly Belgian yeast, raisins, and a sweet finish. Feels a bit thicker than it looks. This beer coats the tongue well. Not the best quad, but near the best and above the average.
