== History / Other Notes ==
Tilquin typically receives the Brune in the summer, around July, and blends are generally packaged in March of the following year. Bottles are then conditioned for around 6 months before the blends are released around September. The first blend of Stout Rullquin was produced in the 2012-2013 season>. After the 2013-2014 season, the recipe for the Rulles Brune used to make Stout Rullquin was changed to slightly increase the roast level from the normal Rulles Brune recipe. This applies only to the Brune brewed for Gueuzerie Tilquin. Stout Rullquin was packaged in kegs in addition to bottles for the first time in the 2015-2016 season.
In 2016, bottles from the 2012-2013 batch of Stout Rullquin had become overcarbonated. Therefore, following Following the same process as used to produce [[Oude_(Gueuze_Tilquin)²_à_l’Ancienne]], 1000 75 cl bottles were therefore opened and emptied into 2 wine barrels. However, in the case of (Stout Rullquin)², fresh barrels from Crozes-Hermitage were used after rinsing (but not fully cleaning) the barrels, giving additional wine character to the blend<ref name='Tilquin FB RQ2'>[https://www.facebook.com/124028207655169/photos/a.129134903811166.20377.124028207655169/1028167277241253/?type=3&theater Gueuzerie Tilquin Facebook post from 16 Feb 2016, retrieved 16 Nov 2016]</ref>.
