New Glarus Unplugged Belgian Quadruple

Bottled. An amber beer with a fast disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet combined with a slightly acidic bret presence, and notes of fruit - especially peaches, and spices leaving it quite complex. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of fruit - again peaches being most dominant, combined with lighter notes of alcohol, wood, and spices, leading to a dry woody finish combined with a light acidity from bret, before the alcohol leaves a slight burn in the throat.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of CaptainCougar. Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. The aroma is lightly acidic also presenting yeast, sweetish caramel and alcohol. Quite full-bodied with sweetish malts and fruit, notes of oak and a light sourness. No real bitterness. This is quite intriguing and quite unlike anything else I’ve tried. 310507

Appearance: clear redish orange, fine beige head, touch of lace
Aroma: sweet fruity aroma with a bret infused mustyness along with a tart cherry woody character
Body: creamy body
Flavor: wild blend of flavors with fruityness and cobwebs from a Belgian cave supported by wooden beams, mild tartness invokes a cherry essence, the bret dries it out a lot but some sweetness still manages to sneak in with the fruity character, incredable complexity
Overall: will be a lot different every six months
