Grutsk is a robust and spicy quadrupel from Brouwerij Diggelfjoer in Boornbergum, Friesland. The name means 'pride' in Frisian – fitting for a beer full of character. This dark, full-bodied ale combines sweet malt with dark fruit and raisin notes, punctuated by smoky undertones and a warming alcohol finish.

Grutsk is delightful to drink fresh but also rewards cellaring. The palate opens with smoke and fruit – cherry notes and a light roasted quality – before carbonation and alcohol warmth build into a complex, substantial experience typical of this Belgian-inspired style.
