As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline has no style with the competition category's name; its Belgian-Style Quadrupel calls for 10.0 to 14.2 percent ABV, 25 to 50 IBU and 16 to 36 SRM, with an intense alcohol presence balanced by other flavors. The published 10.4% ABV fits that range.
