Batch 9 was distributed as follows: Type in BATCH Used Malbecbarrels (medium toast limosine Oak) 86% New Oak (medium toast) 7% New Oak (high toast) 7% BATCH 9 is the first that used Malbec wine barrels from Cahors. This wine is notable for its extremely high tannin levels originating from the Auxerrois grape, which is the darkest and most tannin-rich wine grape. However, as this wine grape is very sensitive, it is no longer grown that much, although it has a very distinct character. By letting our Quadrupel mature on these wine barrels, a lot of the flavour associations from this wine can be recognised in the lagered ale. As the lagered ale from these barrels is rich in flavour anyway, we reduced the new oak percentage to 14% for this batch. This means the wood flavour and the wood-related aromas are slightly less prominent, but the beautiful wine bouquet of the Malbec wine comes through so much better.

    Bottle at Kulminator. Dark ruby color, clear with off white foam head. Corked bottle. Aroma is very, very nice, red wine like with sweet candy notes Little malty taste, again more like a warm little sweet wine. Oak notes. Complex taste this beer. (Antwerp 201404)
