From Samuel Adams:
A style originated by Belgian Trappist brewers, a Quadrupel (Quad for short) is a strong Belgian style ale featuring more intense flavors than its Dubbel and Tripel sisters. Quads are known for their rich, malty character and deep garnet and dark brown hues.
Tetravis is a rich and complex brew with a deep molasses sweetness and notes of dark fruits, like raisins and figs. An undercurrent of tart spice and fruitiness is developed from the distinctive Belgian yeast and character of our Kosmic Mother Funk (KMF). The combination of malts and brewing sugar creates a deep garnet color and velvety mouthfeel with a big malty character. The rich malts are balanced by the distinct flavors of the Belgian yeast, KMF and Hallertau Mittelfrueh Noble hops.
German brewers may have been onto something centuries ago when they created bold, rich bock beers for the winter. For our beer, we brewed a dark wheat bock subtly spiced with freshly ground cinnamon, ginger, and orange peel for a deep, smooth flavor and malty finish that will warm you on a cold winter's night.
Unlike many winter warmers, our brew is a spiced bock using a lager yeast that creates a smoothness and crispness to balance the deep malts. We brew this beer with a fresh ground blend of Indonesian & Vietnamese cinnamons, offering just the right warming spice to complement the beer without overpowering it. The addition of wheat & roasted malts creates a smooth, hearty, and roasty character.
