Brooklyn Quintaceratops
Brooklyn Quintaceratops is a decadent Belgian Dark Strong Ale that marries traditional monastic complexity with the dual influence of spirits. Brewed with dark candi syrup, the sensory journey begins with an opulent bouquet of rum-soaked raisins, toasted oak, and bourbon-tinged vanilla. The palate is a luxurious tapestry of molasses and dark stone fruits like figs and dates, underpinned by a deep, bready malt foundation. The Trinidad rum barrels impart a subtle spice and sweetness, while the American Bourbon barrels add layers of caramel and charred wood. This high-gravity masterpiece finishes with a sophisticated, lingering warmth and a refined, velvety smoothness.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to copper-brown with brilliant clarity. Features a large, dense, persistent tan head with fine-textured lacing.
Aroma. High intensity. Rich, bready malt and dark candi syrup sweetness are layered with intense aromas of dark fruit—specifically raisins, figs, and plums. The barrel aging is prominent, contributing notes of vanilla, toasted coconut, and spicy rum. Alcohol is noticeable but smooth, offering a perfumy, rose-like quality.
Taste. Initial impression is one of complex malt richness and dark fruit depth. Flavors of caramel and molasses from the dark candi syrup blend with cherry and prune esters. The mid-palate reveals charred oak and vanilla from bourbon barrels, while the rum barrels add a spicy, brown sugar character. Bitterness is medium-low, just enough to balance the sweetness. The finish is long, warming, and moderately sweet with lingering spirit notes.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, lifting the heavy sugars. Significant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, lacking any harsh solvent-like heat.
