COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Was first produced as "Kasteel Winter" but then rebranded to "Barista Chocolate Quad". The name ‘Barista’ conjures thoughts of the fragrance of steaming coffee below a layer of expertly created froth. This may sounds rather far-fetched for a beer... However, the aromas and the flavours of caramel, cacao and roast malt match seamlessly with the ‘black gold’ and chocolate. This beer builds bridges with the world of hot beverages, with warming alcohol in the finish. One to enjoy all the year round: with a meal, in front of an open fire or on an outdoor terrace.

mikkellund42 (1953) - DENMARK - MAR 25, 2024
UPDATED: MAR 25, 2024 Bottle. Pours cloudy dark reddish brown with large off-white head. Aroma is interesting caramel, toffee, malt syrup, make syrup, ground coffee, raisins and vanilla. Taste is medium to very sweet, light bitter and faint acidic. Body is oily with fizzy carbonation. Finish is long and mostly sweet with notes of malt, caramel, toffee, fudge, malt syrup, maple syrup, raisins and vanilla.

WillySenpai (237) - MEXICO - MAR 20, 2024
UPDATED: MAR 20, 2024 Una cerveza color castaño oscuro. Notas a chocolate y café presentes, una espuma muy agradable y un sabor muy marcado. Una cerveza con mucho porcentaje de alcohol, y por lo tanto debe tomarse con calma.

maciejgmaciej (3442) - POLAND - MAR 3, 2024
UPDATED: MAR 3, 2024 Wygląda jak idealne ciemne piwo. I to w sumie tyle z plusów. W aromacie i smaku przypomina rodzynki w taniej czekoladzie. Za słodkie i sztuczne do tego, duże rozczarowanie.

UPDATED: JUN 3, 2023 Très bonnes bulles, goût de chocolat et café très prononcé, rarement autant dans une bière de ce type. Impression de boire un café latte noisette.
