Day 237, March 7

The Offering: Pannepot Special Reserve '09, Quadrupel, De Struise Brouwers. Belgium.

ABV:  10.0%

De Struise won Best Brewery in the World 2010 at the World Beer Awards, and it's not hard to imagine why.  This is a great brew.  Dark strong ale aged in oak port barrels for over a year. Thick, rich, dark, complex and spicy. Super smooth as well. The nose hints at tart but none comes through in the mouth. Rich rich rich. Sweet cumquat and super creamy. It's out of production now but if you can get your hands on this one savor it.

Points:  93
