Forbidden City from Brouwerij het Veem is a dark and rich quadrupel from Eindhoven. At 10% alcohol, this is a beer for contemplative drinking, where layers of flavour unfold with time. The nose is restrained, but the palate delivers with notes of chocolate, caramel and roasted malt.

The finish brings a pleasant sweetness balanced by subtle hop bitterness. Brouwerij het Veem, located in the converted Philips building on Strijp-S, crafts this quadrupel with care for the balance between richness and drinkability.
