A Note on This Beer

“For real tastes like a chocolate raspberry truffle.” @Amber B.

“One of the best I’ve ever tried.” @Bradley B.

“I heart emoji this beer for being so damn drinkable!” @Greg G.

All these craft fans are talking about today’s Curtain Closer Belgian Quad, brewed with raspberries and cacao nibs. It’s a treat so decadent and sumptuous, it should be an option on fancy restaurant dessert carts.

It comes courtesy of Monkless Belgian Ales, where they specialize in exclusively Belgian Style brews. Folks from coast to coast have taken notice of this little Bend, Oregon brewery — they won Mid-Size Brewery of the Year at the 2020 Great American Beer Festival!

So, of course they can brew a beer that actually tastes like fudge drizzled raspberries with hints of candied dates and figs.

You better be careful with this decadent 12% ABV behemoth! It’s unbelievably easy to drink. 

Probably best to share this one with someone deserving — ideally as a dessert-time digestif after a romantic, candlelit dinner.

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Tavour strictly supports independent beer. Monkless Belgian Ales is certified independent by the Brewers Association

Gotta be extra drunk to be ok with this one. Would have been fine at 8-9% any chocolate or raspberry is short lived and killed by the 12% this is litterally just that a curtain closer.

Very good beer. If you let it sit for 5 minutes prior to drinking it, you really get all of the flavors at once. It’s also pretty light for being 12%.

It was a very good stout, but I tasted no raspberries. We mixed it well, and definitely had a lovely coffee flavor, and some cacao. Just lacking raspberry.

Very sweet and syrupy which really masks the high ABV. Raspberry and chocolate is a great combo. This one just works on every level.

Too much raspberry on a meh base quadruple. Very sweet and chewy body on a beer that could have benefitted from being a little drier and darker. It's missing a lot of delicacy and complexity that make Belgian styles so good

Mostly roasted malt & coffee aromas. Alot more malt & coffee on the palate with hints of dark chocolate and raspberry. Deep, chocolatey, slightly sweet, bitter finish. Never had a quintuple before, but I bet it won’t be my last one!

Really nice for an American brewery this young to approximate a true Belgian quad Dark fruit and booze just like a Belgian quad Sounds gimmicky in the description but I was surprised how well they delivered
