Grimbergen 1128 Quadruple
A 10 per cent quadruple from the Grimbergen abbey brewery, inspired by the fires the abbey survived over the centuries. Beechwood smoke is layered over a grist of three malts. It pours deep mahogany under a dense off-white head. The nose offers toasted malt, wood, caramelised sugar and hazelnut, with hints of dried apple, raisin, plum, fig and clove. The palate is round and gently toasty, lifted by a slight acidity, and the finish stays soft on caramel and smoke.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Grimbergen 1128 Quadruple
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.
