From the brewer
Ovila Abbey Quad is heady with aromas of caramel, rich malt, and dark fruit balanced by the spiciness and delicate fruity notes of a traditional Belgian yeast. This complex beer is a collaboration between Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and the monks of the Abbey of New Clairvaux. It features sugar plums grown on the grounds of the Abbey and harvested by the monks in Vina. We hope you enjoy this collaboration ale.

Thanks, Zack! Wow, super plummy, Belgian and dark, with a ton of flavors very close to the surface. It got better as it warmed up, but still, it was mostly a kick in the face. Would be interested in seeing if this becomes more integrated with age.
Really, really plum-y. Not my favorite, as the plum overpowered everything else. Not terrible though, worth a try
