Drunken Monk Quadrupel - NHC Gold Medal

Just checked the fermentation bucket after 13 days and we're looking at 1.010, so 11.3%.

I sampled a drop but only 5 minutes later I struggle to describe the taste other than very complex, not too sweet and with a noticable spiciness. I'll leave it a few days and then it'll go into 500ml swing tops.

500ml swingtops @11.3%!!

All my other swing tops are 700ml

Nice. That'll be a great winter warmer. At that strength you might not be far away from a Rochefort 10 clone (maybe that was your plan?).

I did want to go some way above your 8.7 but I doubt I have your control over the process!

I'm calling it "Covid Killer (Q'est-ce que c'cest?)" and will open one at Christmas, but it would be nice to keep until it's safe to reunite with friends next year.

You give me too much credit. My good brews are typically of the Bob Ross "happy accident" type.
