About this release

A Belgian quadrupel aged in American rum barrels, an unexpected yet delightful combination from Goose Island Beer Co. from Chicago. This renowned American brewery, founded in 1988, is known as a pioneer in the craft beer scene and has a rich history of innovation and experimentation with barrel aging. The rich, dark fruits and spices of the quad are complemented by the tropical sweetness of rum: coconut, brown sugar, banana and a hint of vanilla. This Small Batch No. 8 beer is complex and full-bodied, yet surprisingly elegant for a beer of 13.2% alcohol. The combination of Belgian brewing tradition with American rum barrels makes this a special addition to your beer collection. With 500 ml per bottle, this beer offers a full flavor experience in which the subtle interaction between the monastery-like characteristics and the warm, sweet wood notes of the rum is clearly evident. This is a beer for lovers of complex, bold flavors who appreciate the experimental character of Goose Island. The ambitious Small Batch No. 8 is a perfect choice for beer enthusiasts looking for something special and flavors that push boundaries.
