Gouverneur Quadrupel
The heaviest beer in the range: deep dark, nearly amber, with full notes of toffee and liquorice. Candi sugar in the grist gives the body its fullness without turning it sticky, while the bitterness stays back at 26 IBU. At ten percent, a beer to work through slowly rather than drink down. Serve at eight to ten degrees.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Gouverneur Quadrupel
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.
