À propos

Eggens Quadrupel Vatgerijpt is an ambitious barrel-aged beer from Dutch brewery Eggens. This robust quadrupel (11% ABV) spends roughly 300 to 700 days maturing in Jamaican rum casks, depending on the release. The result is a beer where rum's warmth and the quadrupel's natural richness converge into something more than the sum of its parts. On the nose, expect dried fruit, caramel and toffee, underpinned by distinct rum character and subtle oak. The palate leans sweet and warming rather than bitter, with roasted undertones that emerge from extended maturation. Texture is full and creamy, supported by generous carbonation. This is a beer for slow contemplation—pair it with a rich dessert or enjoy it as a digestif on a quiet evening.
