Quad Schaft De Pot

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany brown with warm amber undertones, holding a dense tan head with firm Schaumhaftung. The body shows good clarity despite the richness of the style, with a fine bead of carbonation rising steadily through the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with dried dark fruit—raisins and prunes prominent—layered beneath warming alcohol vapors that speak to the 11% ABV. Beneath lies a foundation of deep, toasted Malz with soft spice notes and a faint herbal suggestion from the modest hopping, creating a full and inviting bouquet.

◐ Taste

Rich and vollmundig on entry, with dark stone fruit and raisin character filling the mid-palate. The Malz contributes notes of bread crust and caramel sweetness, while the 22 IBU provides a light balancing bitterness that prevents cloying. A subtle spiciness—likely from Belgian yeast character—weaves through, finishing with lingering sweetness and dry edges.

◑ Finish

Medium-long finish with warming alcohol and fading dark fruit notes. A pleasant dryness emerges in the aftertaste, leaving behind a gentle spice and toasted malt memory.
