Focussing on "the good side of life" is what Big Belly Brewing is all about. We love things a little bigger, going the extra mile, adding something special, being more creative. But above all, we love things in life that are a bit more fun.

All our beers are well balanced and made with premium "The Swean" malts, so we get the full, distinctive beers that we are proud of. After coming up with a special touch, we design a legendary character for every beer. Finally, we write and add an amusing story about the character and the beer. That's how we make one of the most fun things, drinking beer, even more fun.

Quadrupel – this time including the ‘religious’ association stemming from the trappist traditions in which the style originated – from a brewing company in Breda I had never heard of, thanks Hinke for sharing! Medium thick, moussey, beige-ish off-white, breaking and slowly dissolving head on a misty brownish-tinged warm and deep amber-coloured robe. Aroma of caramel candy, solventy effects of varnish and wood glue, nougat, almond paste, sweet sherry, dried peaches, apricot jam, armagnac, marmalade. Sweet onset yet not sticky, candied peach and fig jam notes, red apple too, softish carb with smooth, medium full body; hard-caramelly, slightly nutty and somewhat biscuity, slick and bit resinous maltiness, mild floral hop bitterness in the end, some of those solventy effects returning and finally heating bourbon- to brandy-like alcohol with peppery effects. Overly solventy, lacking a bit in body and a tad too boozy: a quadrupel, like its inventors the trappist monks, should show more contemplation and restraint. Does show some promise, though.

Bottle at Mr Barley, Breda. A bit unclear bright yellow color, small white head. Smell and taste light to moderately malty, alright hoppiness, slightly sweet notes. Quite nice, well brewed blonde beer.
