Inner Sanctum

Historically brewed by the pious monks of Belgium, this decadent brew features unique raisin and plum character resulting from select dark caramel malts and ten months of aging in oak brandy barrels. Gently warming with a lingering toffee finish. Best enjoyed with a smug attitude and a cashmere turtleneck.

Our Thoughts

Today we have "Inner Sanctum" which is a Belgian-Style Quadrupel that could be compared to a Very Acholic Porter. It has a very strong ABV of 10.5 so even drinkers with the strongest tolerances will be out of it after a few pints. This beer is for someone who want's somthing more than just an ale. A great beer for a cold day.

Belgian-Style Quadrupel

Quadrupels or Quads are characterized by the immense presence of alcohol and balanced flavor, bitterness and aromas. Its color is deep amber to rich chestnutgarnet brown. Often characterized by a mousse-like dense, sometimes amber head will top off a properly poured and served quad. Complex fruity aroma and flavor emerge reminiscent of raisins, dates, figs, grapes, plums often accompanied with a hint of winy character. Caramel, dark sugar and malty sweet flavors and aromas can be intense, not cloying, while complementing fruitiness. Though well attenuated it usually has a full, creamy body. Hop characters do not dominate low to low-medium bitterness is perceived. Perception of alcohol can be extreme. Clove-like phenolic flavor and aroma should not be evident. Chill haze is acceptable at low serving temperatures. Diacetyl and DMS should not be perceived. Well balanced with savoringsipping drinkability. Oxidative character if evident in aged Quads should be mild and pleasant.
