About

Smaug represents an ambitious expression from Brouwerij Alvinne, the pioneering Flemish brewery known for barrel-aged and sour beers. This quadrupel merges the full, malty character of the style with the acidity and complexity that defines Alvinne's approach. Dark in colour, it delivers rich caramel, dark fruit and woody notes alongside subtle wine-like qualities and a refined tartness. At 12.8% ABV, the beer carries warmth and body, while Alvinne's signature Morpheus yeast contributes wild yeast character and depth. Smaug rewards contemplation—complex enough for repeated tasting, yet approachable enough to become a regular pour.
