About This Beer
Whiplash Quad Of Paradise Quadrupel is a deep, indulgent, Belgian-style ale brewed with precision and patience by one of Ireland’s most innovative modern breweries. Quadrupels are known for intensity, warmth, and layered sweetness, and Whiplash’s take sits firmly in that tradition while adding their own signature polish. At 11.1% ABV, this beer is built for slow sipping, big aromas, and a long, satisfying finish.
Pouring a deep mahogany brown with ruby highlights, this Quadrupel immediately signals richness. Expect dark fruit, caramel, warming spice, dried figs, and deep malt character. This is a style designed for contemplation, and Quad Of Paradise delivers from the very first sip. As an Irish brewery, Whiplash fits naturally within our Irish Craft Beer collection, and this beer is a brilliant example of how the Irish brewing scene excels at traditional European styles as much as it does modern hop-forward releases.
Quadrupels have strong roots in monastic brewing, and anyone who enjoys expressive Belgian ales will also find similar depth in our Belgian Beer section. If you’re exploring malt-rich or stronger styles, you might also enjoy browsing our diverse Other Beer Styles category, which showcases rare and characterful beers.

• Strong cheeses such as blue, gouda, and aged cheddar
• Sticky toffee pudding, treacle tart, or dark chocolate desserts
• Glazed ham or spiced pork dishes
