Belgian Quadrupel 10L

The BJCP says exactly what to expect from this beer: 'A dark, complex, very strong Belgian ale that is a delicious blend of rich maltiness, dark fruit flavours and spicy elements. Complex, rich, smooth and dangerous."

Let me give you a brief saga of how the style evolved: people by nature don't like to pay taxes, and it was no different for the Belgians centuries ago. Back then, breweries had to pay taxes based on the size of the mash and the number of brews. The more spirited brewers found that if they drained the wort from a strong mash (first running) they could make an excellent Quadrubel. Here's the twist: after the quadrubel, there was a lot of sugar left in the mash, which was extracted by a thorough scrubbing and then made into beer, now called a dubbel.
