Quad

◎ Appearance

Deep amber-brown with a warm, burnished hue characteristic of the style. The beer presents good clarity with a dense, persistent head that builds a fine lacing along the glass. Carbonation is moderate and even, supporting a creamy, refined presentation.

◌ Aroma

Inviting notes of ripe banana and dark stone fruit lead the nose, underpinned by warming candi sugar sweetness. A subtle malty foundation emerges underneath, with gentle spice and yeasty complexity that builds with time in the glass. The alcohol warmth is present but integrated, adding to the overall aromatic depth.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with rich maltiness and sweet fruit character, particularly banana, balanced by moderate bitterness (39 IBU) that prevents cloying. Mid-palate reveals a full, velvety mouthfeel with bready, yeasty notes and subtle dry spice. The 11.8% ABV carries weight without harshness, though a gentle boozy warmth is detectable on the back palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium to long, with lingering sweetness and a dry spice edge that gradually asserts itself. Subtle alcohol warmth persists without becoming harsh, leaving a refined, fruity memory.
