In
spite of my expectation that the beer would have an assertive coffee
scent, the nose was actually quite yeasty and boozy, with only a
sprinkling of java. Likewise, the flavour has only a whisper of coffee,
and is instead dominated by sweet, strong notes of roasted malt and
dried fruit. However, coffee is in evidence at the finish, albeit
subtly.
Very strong and sweet, Précaris
Quadrocinno makes a lovely after dinner beer--with some strong cheese or
a chocolate dessert, it would really sing. I was a tad disappointed
that the coffee element didn't hold up to the boldness of the underlying
quad, but pleased to find that the underlying quad was pretty good.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
