Kasteel Barista
A quadrupel that looks like a porter or stout: almost jet-black under a head of tiny bubbles. Chocolate and coffee dominate the nose, hence the name Barista, with a subtle spiciness reminiscent of cinnamon. On the palate it is full-bodied and creamy, with caramel, toffee and chocolate and a satisfying hoppy bitterness, and it finishes dry and warming at 11 % ABV.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Kasteel Barista
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.
