Impression
Quadrupels are the strongest beers in the Belgian monastic tradition — though this one is brewed by beer nerds, not monks. Strong and warming, with intense caramel and plum before a dry, effervescent finish. At 11.5 percent, on pilsner, dark wheat and dark crystal malt, hopped with Pahto. Cellarable.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Impression
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.
