Midtfyns Quadrupel

Tap to rate

Brewed with the great Belgian abbey beers in mind, the kind that monks and nuns make behind monastery walls, but with a mid-Funen character of its own. The beer has a wine-like character with notes of dried fruit and caramel, and it is brewed with barley malt.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Midtfyns Quadrupel

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to chestnut brown with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head. The color reflects the substantial Malz bill and extended mashing typical of the style. Carbonation is moderate, supporting fine bubbles and consistent lacing around the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with dried stone fruit—plum and apricot—layered beneath caramel sweetness and subtle toasted bread notes. Belgian yeast character emerges with a gentle spice and alcohol warmth, while a light herbal restraint from minimal bittering hops keeps the profile balanced. Wine-like complexity develops on the palate.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied entry with rich malt backbone transitioning to dark fruit and caramel through the mid-palate. The 12% ABV is present but integrated, lending warmth rather than harsh burn. Low IBU (25) allows sweetness and dried fruit to dominate, while gentle spice and yeasty complexity provide structure and prevent cloying development.

◑ Finish

Long, warming finish with lingering caramel and dark fruit notes fading gradually into a dry, slightly peppery aftertaste. Residual sweetness balances the drying effect, creating a contemplative close.

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.
