Eggens Quadrupel Vatgerijpt - 009/2024 - Jamaica Rum Cask 33cl

The Eggens Quadrupel Vatgerijpt- 009/2024 is an impressive speciality beer that derives its strength and character from maturation in Jamaican rum barrels. This results in a complex and refined flavour profile that makes every sip an experience.

Tasting note

Colour

Deep mahogany brown with a slight ruby glow. A full, creamy head that slowly subsides, revealing a subtle carbonation.

Nose

A rich nose of sweet caramel, dried fruits (figs and sultanas), vanilla and a distinct touch of hot rum. Hints of oak and spices add a refined depth.

Taste

Full and luscious with a perfect balance between sweet and warm. Flavours of toffee, dark chocolate and dark fruit are elegantly interwoven with the spicy, slightly smoky notes of the rum casks. The influence of the oak brings soft vanilla notes and a light tannic structure that provides a pleasant dryness in the finish.

Mouth feel

Rich and velvety with a warm, alcoholic embrace that makes the 33cl a perfect enjoyment experience. The creamy texture adds to the beer's luxurious appeal.

Finish

Long and complex, with an aftertaste in which rum, woody notes and subtle sweetness linger harmoniously.
