St-Feuillien Quadruple

◎ Aussehen

Very dark brown to nearly black, with excellent clarity despite the high gravity and density. A substantial cream-colored head forms and clings persistently to the glass walls. Moderate carbonation produces fine, steady bubbles that rise through the translucent body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced caramel and candied fruit notes, layered with subtle Madeira-wine character. A striking banana ester dominates the mid-palate aromas, characteristic of the yeast strain used. English-style noble hops provide a light, refined floral backdrop without aggression.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and malty, revealing caramel, candied orange, and fig notes from the specialty malts. The mid-palate builds with milk chocolate and a whisper of coconut, supported by substantial body from high residual extract. Bitterness is restrained and integrated—present but soft, never harsh or lingering on the tongue.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with residual sweetness balanced by gentle hop dryness. Chocolate and candied fruit notes persist into the aftertaste without becoming cloying.

Bei 12–14°C servieren. Ein kontemplatives Bier — Wärme erschließt dunkle Frucht, Karamell und komplexes Malz.

Das breite Mundstück und der schwere Fuß fördern die Schaumbildung und leiten reiche Aromatik zur Nase. Traditionell für belgische Starkbiere.
