Boogieman Beer Society Quadrupel 2024-003

This unique project by Wijn en Whiskyspecialist van der Boog focuses entirely on aging beer. While many are familiar with the concept of a wine cellar, only a few enthusiasts consider cellaring their beers.

However, there are many beers that improve significantly with age when stored under the right conditions. Think of beers like Westvleteren 12, Cuvée van de Keizer Blauw, or Hertog Jan Grand Prestige.

We are proud to present the second beer bottled under the Boogieman Beer Society VS Eggens Craft Beer label. This special release is a Quadrupel from the 2023 brewing year, perfectly suited for aging in your cellar for several years.

Boogieman Beer Society VS Eggens Craft Beer - Quadrupel 2024-003

What is a Quadrupel?

A Quadrupel is a beer style known for being strong, complex, and dark, originally rooted in the Belgian abbey brewing tradition but now embraced worldwide. Quadrupels are top-fermented beers, brewed at higher fermentation temperatures, which result in rich aromas and flavors.

Our Quadrupel 2024-003 is a ruby-red, slightly hazy beer topped with a creamy, beige foam. Its aroma presents sweet, malty notes with hints of caramel and dark chocolate. The flavor offers a spiced bitterness complemented by sweet caramel in the background, while pure chocolate adds a touch of smoothness to the bitterness. This beer pairs beautifully with a hearty, spiced beef stew, either in the dish or served alongside it.

Aging advice

We recommend aging this Quadrupel for 4 to 5 years to allow its flavors to develop further complexity. However, if patience isn’t your strong suit, it is also ready to be enjoyed right away.

Tasting note

In the glass, the beer shines with a deep mahogany color and a ruby-red glow under the light. The foam is creamy and light beige, with a fine structure that slowly settles into a delicate layer.

The aroma greets you with warm notes of dried fruits like figs, raisins, and dates, followed by subtle hints of dark caramel and toffee. Delicate spices, such as clove and nutmeg, linger in the background, accompanied by a malty sweetness and a touch of honey.

The first sip reveals a full-bodied, velvety beer with a perfectly balanced flavor profile. Rich notes of caramel, dark chocolate, and candied sugar are beautifully complemented by hints of stewed fruits and plums. As the beer evolves on the palate, layers of roasted malt and a hint of toasted nuts emerge. The gentle warmth of the alcohol supports the flavor without overwhelming it.

Boogieman Beer Society Quadrupel 2024-003 is a stunning tribute to the classic Quadrupel style with a modern twist. The exclusive use of 100% barley malt ensures a pure and layered character. Whether you choose to enjoy it now or let it age for added complexity, this Quadrupel is a true celebration of craftsmanship and tradition.
