Weyerbacher Quad - Abbey Style Quadruppel

You could sniff this baby out from across the room, almost wine-like in its aroma. The taste is similar to a classic barleywine, the hue a deep mahogany.  The familiar tang of Belgian ales, balanced by the taste of raisins, currants, and figs. The 11.8% ABV causes hoppy fumes to tickle the back of the nasal passages. A little on the sweet side, might make a great substitute for wine with a holiday meal.
