Full House

Netherlands·Quadrupel
Tap to rate

Another round? Full House is a quadrupel to share with the whole house: dark and full, without bluff, with notes of caramel, raisin and a hint of toffee. At 10% ABV and 26 IBU, the trump card up its sleeve is simply sitting in your glass. Like every DAVO beer, it is meant to stay in balance, even at this strength.

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany brown with auburn highlights, holding a dense, creamy head that clings to the glass in fine rings of lacing. The body is opaque and full, suggesting substantial malt structure. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, allowing the visual weight to communicate the beer's strength without heaviness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with caramel sweetness and dried dark fruit—raisins and plums—layered beneath a subtle toffee note. There is a gentle warmth from the 10% ABV, though it remains restrained and integrated. Malt character dominates without any harsh solvent quality, suggesting careful fermentation and maturation.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and sweet, with caramel and raisin building immediately on the palate. The mid-palate reveals a complex malty foundation that carries the higher ABV smoothly, with subtle notes of spice and bread crust adding dimension. Bitterness remains gentle at 26 IBU, never confrontational, allowing the malt sweetness and alcohol warmth to lead.

Serve at 12–16°C

Serve at 12–14°C. This is a contemplative beer — warmth unlocks the dark fruit, caramel and complex malt.

Goblet

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.
