Style:Belgian Style Quadrupel
Abv: 10.0%
From 8 wired Web Site:
The beer you hold in your hands is the result of years of practise and refinement. I have brewed it every year since I started homebrewing, and it was one of the first beers I ever brewed. In fact before the mere thought of 8 Wired was conceived. I always knew that one day I would brew this beer commercially.
Every year the Sultan has been different, but it is always Belgian inspired, of course with a large dose of sultanas. This bottle contains the fifth version of the Sultan. I finally decided to base it on a Belgian style Quadrupel.
The sultanas are more present than before, and it is brewed with a hefty dose of pilsner malt, Belgian specialty malts, dark candy sugar and a funky yeast strain. Experience and enjoy it now, or mature it for years to come. I can’t personally guarantee it, but I bet that it will get better with time. Soren Eriksen Brewer
Originally named The Sultan of Swing, I have brewed this beer every year since I started home brewing. Every batch has been different but it was always Belgian inspired and always brewed with a large dose of sultanas. This commercial batch is the fifth version and I finally decided to base it on a Belgian Quadrupel
Note personnelle:
Une belle brune, avec des rondeurs sur un corps de rêve …
Une belle couleur marron/brune, une mousse épaisse, parsemée de taches brunes. Un très belle accroche sur le verre.
Au nez, ca sent la vanille, le foin, le cuir.
En bouche, c’est très élégant, c’est rond, c’est puissant mais pas trop.
On dénote une ressemblance flagrante avec la « Monk’s Elixir » de chez Mikeller.
Un bien belle/bonne bière que voila !!
