Cherries Jubilee Quad

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to light brown, with excellent clarity and a dense, off-white head that clings to the glass with fine Schaumkleiden. The color reflects the deep Malz character and barrel age, while carbonation presents as gentle and refined. Light plays through the body with a warm, inviting glow typical of well-aged quadrupels.

◌ Aroma

Bright tart cherry leads on the nose, immediately followed by warm oak and subtle brandy spice. Dark stone fruit, plum, and dried apricot emerge beneath, mingling with classic Belgian yeast esters that suggest pear and clove. A delicate whisper of cinnamon and apple spice rounds the profile without dominating.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with tart cherry and oak, establishing a pleasant acidity that cuts through the full, vollmundig body. Mid-palate develops dark fruit complexity—plum and raisin—alongside warming alcohol and a gentle spice note. Bitterness remains restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the fruit and oak to shine; the finish dries progressively, leaving a refined tannic grip.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste lingers with dry oak, subtle cherry tartness, and a whisper of brandy heat. The spice fades gracefully, leaving a smooth, slightly astringent conclusion that invites another sip.
