37.5cl bottle. Tasting of the 12 first La Trappe Quadrupel Oak Aged variants, together with the original beer (La Trappe Quadrupel). Appearance: no head, unstable, light amber beer. Nose: port, caramel, already somewhat oxidated, some wood, alcohol noticeable. Some anise when smelling the cork. Taste: port, sweet alcohol, again somewhat oxidated. Nice beer, but you shouldn’t keep it lying around any longer.

Draft at In De Wildeman, a real treat! Pours cloudy brown with a tan head. Aroma of toffee, banana, spices, oak, vanilla, fruits following up. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter. Full bodied with soft carbonation. I never had the chance to try this fresh after release, but certainly lovely at this age.

On tap at the wildeman Thin creamy off white head. Hazy amber brew. Vanilla and toffee . An awesome brew when aged

Sample on tap @ In De Wildeman (thanks Simon!) . Cloudy orange color. Off white head. Aroma’s: sweets, sweet malts, vanilla, oak, some fruit as well. Flavor is medium sweet, alcoholic, notes of wood. Alcohol feel is fairly strong, body is medium. Still enough carbonation. Long finish with a light bitterness. Seems better now than it was when this was just released, but that might just be my memory.

Enjoyed in small tasters at Kulminator
