Steenbrugge Quadrupel

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to copper-brown in color, with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that leaves distinct lacing on the glass. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a gentle stream of bubbles that rises steadily through the liquid.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent caramel and dried fruit—raisins and plums dominate—layered beneath a warming malt sweetness. Herbaceous and spicy notes emerge in the background, with subtle hints of candied sugar and a gentle alcohol warmth that frames the overall profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is full and malty on entry, with caramel sweetness and dark fruit notes building through the mid-palate. A restrained hop bitterness and herbal spice provide balance against the rich, slightly warming alcohol, while subtle bread and yeast notes add complexity without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.

◑ Abgang

The finish is moderately long, with lingering caramel and dried fruit fading into a gently drying aftertaste. Herbal and yeasty notes persist softly, leaving the palate warm and satisfied without astringency.
