1818
Named for 1818, the year the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid was founded, this quadrupel is the brewery's general: full-bodied and malty, with red fruit in the aroma and dark fruit, pear and blackcurrant on the palate. The finish is hoppy with a touch of bitterness. At 10% ABV a winter beer for long evenings, from barley malt, candy sugar, hops and yeast.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 1818
Serve at 12–14°C. This is a contemplative beer — warmth unlocks the dark fruit, caramel and complex malt.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Built for cellaring. Age 2–5 years for deeper complexity. Store upright at 12–16°C.
