Foudre-Aged Belgian-Style Quad

Belgian-Style Sour Quadrupel

Allagash Four was our first foray into making a Belgian-style quadruple ale, a staple of brewing in the monastic tradition. This special version was aged with lactobacillus and pediococcus and aged in an oak foudre for nine months to add notes of red apple, strawberry, and stone fruit to its signature flavors of raisin and caramel, finishing with a gently sour sweetness.

8.5% ABV

Dark Beers

A beer’s dark color comes from kilned malts. These specialty malts can add flavors of chocolate, coffee, and roastiness. Another fun fact: dark beers aren’t always heavy—some can have a very light, refreshing mouthfeel.
