I’m Kasteel Donker—the original and godfather of Quadrupels. Born in 1989 under the watchful eye of the Van Honsebrouck family, my name pays homage to the Ingelmunster castle and the dark, rich beer I am.

Pour me into your glass and watch my thick, beige head cling proudly to the rim, a herald of what’s to come. Breathe in the aromas of caramel and toffee, inviting you into a story of roasted malts and subtle spice. Each sip unfolds layers of sweet over-ripe fruits, raisins, brown sugar, chocolate, and a hint of clove, all balanced on a full-bodied, smooth base.

At 11% ABV, I wrap you in a gentle warmth—a perfect nightcap that turns even the most casual sipper into a believer. I’m not just a beer; I’m a legacy, a tale told in every pour. Enjoy the journey, one sip at a time.
