Jopen's Meesterstuk 2018 BA Early Times Bourbon represents the Dutch brewery's bold approach to barrel aging. This quadrupel spent 320 days maturing in Early Times Bourbon casks, developing a warm, layered character.

The bourbon maturation brings vanilla and caramel forward, complementing the quadrupel's naturally dark fruit and malty foundation. Red fruit notes, sweetness and the alcohol's warming presence combine into a full-bodied, evolving drink. A beer for those who appreciate vanilla and caramel depth, built on the sturdy base of a traditional quadrupel.

Pairs well with braised meats and rich dishes.
