Belgian-Style Quadrupel - Craft Beer Monkey

Color: Amber to dark brown

Clarity: Chill haze is acceptable at low temperatures

Perceived Malt Aroma & Flavor: Caramel, dark sugar and malty sweet flavors and aromas can be intense, but not cloying, and should complement fruitiness.

Perceived Hop Aroma & Flavor: Not perceived to very low

Perceived Bitterness: Low to medium-low

Fermentation Characteristics: Perception of alcohol can be strong. Complex fruity flavors, such as raisins, dates, figs, grapes and/or plums are often present and accompanied by a hint of wineyness. Clove-like phenolic flavor and aroma should not be evident. Diacetyl and DMS should not be perceived.

Body: Full with creamy mouthfeel

Additional Notes:

Head should be dense and mousse-like. Quadrupels are well attenuated and are characterized by an intense alcohol presence balanced by other flavors, aromas and bitterness. They are well balanced with savoring/sipping-type drinkability. Oxidized character, if present in aged Quads, should be mild and pleasant.
