Our take on a classic Quadrupel or Belgian Strong Dark Ale. With a complex grain bill , organic panela sugar, and a fair amount of noble hops for balance. The spicy, fruity nose and taste is entirely from the yeast, malt and hop combination. Ideal for cellar aging.
Food pairing: Dinner AND after dinner, but only if you’re in Belgium. Stoofvlees, {Flemish Beef Stew} Witloof, and other strong temperate climate vegetables, braised cabbage or sauerkraut. Game venison or wild boar, blue and strong cheese, game fowl, rich fruit desserts, a handful of raspberries, dark chocolate, jenever, whisky. Not an every day beer, but for celebrations.
