Belgian Dark Strong Ale 10.5 º 38 IBU

Beer Farm

Beer Farm The Quad is a decadent expression of the Belgian Dark Strong Ale style, delivering a profound sensory experience defined by its high-gravity complexity. The pour reveals a deep coppery-brown hue topped with a persistent, moussy tan head. An intense aromatic bouquet of rich, bready-toasty malts melds with evocative notes of raisins, dried cherries, and figs. Subtle spicy phenols, reminiscent of black pepper and vanilla, dance alongside a soft, perfumy alcohol presence. On the palate, a lush malt richness offers flavors of dark caramel and dates, balanced by a medium-low bitterness and a smooth, warming finish that never feels heavy or syrupy.

Appearance. Deep coppery-brown (approx. 18-22 SRM) with excellent clarity. It features a huge, dense, and persistent light tan-colored head with a thick, moussy texture.

Aroma. High intensity aromatic profile showcasing rich, bready-toasty malt and deep dark caramel. Significant esters suggest raisins, plums, and figs. Low to moderate spicy phenols like black pepper and a hint of vanilla. No roasted malt character. A soft, floral alcohol warmth is noticeable.

Taste. Initial impression is of complex, rich maltiness with flavors of dark caramel and toasted bread. Prominent dark fruit flavors of dates and dried cherries follow. Hop bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough balance against the malt and alcohol. Fermentation character is clean but complex with peppery phenols. The finish is moderately dry and smooth, with no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, luxurious texture. High carbonation is present but remains smooth on the tongue without being sharp. Noticeable and pleasant alcohol warmth is well-integrated and smooth.
