About

Kasteel Barista Chocolate Quad is a Belgian Quadrupel from Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck in Emelgem, weighing in at 11% ABV. This dark, full-bodied beer blurs the line between porter and traditional quad, delivering unexpected depth. Chocolate and coffee lead the aroma and palate, joined by toffee, caramel and dark stone fruit. Hints of cinnamon and clove add spice and warmth, befitting its winter beer designation. The hop bitterness is restrained and refined, complementing rather than dominating the rich malt base. The finish is dry and warming, with a smooth, creamy texture that lingers. This is a beer for slow appreciation, where layers of flavour reveal themselves gradually.
