TOWNSITE CARDENA BELGIAN QUAD

Coming in at 10.5% alcohol this beer is every bit as strong as the original brew. Pouring from the 500ml bottle the beer is a deep and cloudy chestnut-brown colour and has a thin finger’s worth of very dense head. The aroma is intense with bourbon-oak character, vanilla tones, and dried fruit character including cherry, raisin and prune. The texture of this beer is low in carbonation and very creamy-smooth. With the low carbonation comes a sweetness that cuts into the boozy character. The bourbon oak character is quite intense masking much of the dried fruit character. Still raisin, and prune notes come through giving a rich sweetness to the beer. Barrel Aging has changed this beer significantly and made it an even more intense beer. It is still every bit as good as the original though.  10.5% ABV  24 IBU
