BaxBier Original 050 Series #007 - Session Quadrupel (330ml Bottle)

Description

The seventh beer from the Original 050 Series. It's a strong dubbel, a dubbel tripel, or a classic Belgian quadrupel? Not quite the latter, so thats why its a "session" quad.

Tasting Notes

Abt/Quadrupel

Abt, or quadrupel, is the name given to ultra-strong Trappist and abbey ales. The name Abt was pioneered to describe Westvleteren and the beer that would become St. Bernardus. Quadrupel was pioneered by La Trappe. Abts are the darker of the two, with more rich, deep fruity notes. Quads are paler, with corresponding peachy notes. Neither have much in the way of hop, and both are very strong and malty. Though both are bottle-conditioned, abts trend more towards yeastiness. Alcohol is very high (10+% abv) for both.
