The Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple 33 cl invites a slow, contemplative tasting, like a Flemish painting where every detail reveals new depth. This Belgian specialty beer, brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge, is aimed at those who appreciate generous flavours, fans of big tasting beers and anyone wishing to offer a distinctive alternative to powerful wines at the table. Its 10.5% vol. and concentrated malt profile give it a confident presence without sacrificing harmony. On the palate it is full-bodied, fruity and slightly sweet, then balanced by a soft bitterness. Served in a chalice glass, it unfolds a warm, refined presence—ideal for indulgent moments that call for more than an ordinary beer.

A full-bodied tasting crafted for curious palates

The Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple is a true sensory journey designed for lovers of generously styled specialty beers. Its rounded, robust expression creates an enveloping sensation, especially appreciated when seeking a beer that can converse with food. Far from a fleeting tasting, it sets a gentler pace, encouraging the observation of aromas and convivial sharing. Its malty richness brings body and depth, while a measured bitterness preserves the overall elegance. This 33 cl bottle is the ideal format to savour a great Belgian beer in a focused, individual tasting or to share a few sips with someone close over a gourmet pairing.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : Amber, bright, with a slight orange glow and a fine white head.
• Aroma : Fruity and generous, with a slightly sweet impression and a rich aromatic profile.
• Palate : Full-bodied and rounded, revealing notes of dried fruit, balanced sweetness and a delicate bitterness on the finish.

A Belgian recipe with majestic richness

Brewed in Belgium by Brouwerij Van Steenberge, founded in 1791, this Quadrupel follows a tradition of carefully crafted tasting beers. Its recipe combines water, barley malt, sugar, hops and yeast. It stands out by using four times more malt than a blonde beer, a detail that explains its density, texture and deeply malty character. Its top fermentation is followed by bottle refermentation, an essential signature that contributes to the complexity of its profile. With bitterness around 21–25 IBU and a colour of 28 EBC, it keeps a balanced structure despite its strength. Each sip reveals the combination of generous body, fruity sweetness and a supple finish without excessive heaviness.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve the Gulden Draak 9000 Quadruple between 10 to 12 °C, in a chalice glass wide enough to release its aromas. This temperature allows the malt richness, fruity nuances and dried fruit notes to express themselves properly. Avoid serving it too cold, as that would tighten the bouquet and diminish its generous texture. Pour gently to preserve its effervescence and form a fine head. It naturally suits an autumn dinner, a festive meal or an evening when you want to replace routine choices with a more gastronomic discovery. The 33 cl format is also perfect for a contemplative tasting moment, when the aim is to savour rather than simply drink.

Food pairings

• Red meats : its malty power accompanies roasted cuts or grilled meats with elegance.
• Game : its dried fruit notes and roundness respond well to long-simmered recipes.
• Cheeses : it creates a warm pairing with mature cheeses of pronounced character.
• Desserts : chocolate creations find in its sweetness and depth a particularly seductive partner.
