La Trappe Quadrupel

essa magnífica cerveja holandesa é a mais completa e saborosa da linha La Trappe. Após despejada em seu receptáculo tradicional, a taça trapista, a Quadrupel exibe espuma com aparência inicial de tamanho médio, coloração marrom-claro, boa formação de colarinho e curta longevidade. O corpo tem tonalidade cobre e boa claridade. Aliado à belíssima aparência, o instigante aroma torna dificílima a tarefa se seguir o ritual da análise passo a passo. Afinal, a combinação de notas de cookie, melado, bala toffee, álcool e pêssego em calda é realmente de dar água na boca. Chega o tão esperado momento: o primeiro gole! Com início moderadamente doce e final moderadamente amargo e de média duração, há a impressão de se estar bebericando um destilado de alta qualidade, quiçá um whisky. No paladar, o comportamento é igualmente estupendo. O corpo médio-cheio tem textura oleosa, carbonatação suave e final fortemente alcoólico. Cada gole é um êxtase diferente.

Bottle from 2006. Dark copper pour with fluffy off white head and excellent lace. toast, caramel malts on the nose. Sweet malts, dark fruit and molasses. Long dry finish

Bottle shared by Crosling, thanks dude. Poured a deep garnet-brown color with a moderate beige head that slowly receded to a ring. Aroma of toasty caramel malt with some brown sugar and sweet plum, dark grapes, fig, and a light yeastiness. Moderately sweet brown sugar entry transitions into a toasty caramel malt followed by some hints of dark fruit (plum, grape, fig) that mingle well with a lightly dry, yeasty finish. Smooth, slick, and full on the palate.

Poured a deep reddish brown with a full off-white head. Aroma was very rich, some fruity notes, as well as some bannana. Taste was very smooth, hints of apples and grapes. Finish was a bit sour. Very enjoyable.

This beer was amazing, I think I have a new favorite. This was recommended to me by a friend. I will thank him.

bottle, and a helluva quad IMO. Reddish/brown pour with a light tan head. Aroma is all sugar, malt, syrup and dark fruit. Flavor is sweet and malty with a certain alcohol burn. Good stuff if taken in slowly.

On tap at O’Brien’s. Appearance is a clear dark red hue, dense layer of off-white foam, moderate lacing. Smell is sugar and sweet fruits mostly, pear syrup dominates, cotton candy is in the mix too. Taste is pears with a touch of raisins, some sweet malts and yeast in the middle, finishes with slight alcohol warming. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, watery texture, prickly carbonation. Drinkability is fair, surprisingly pear-dominated quad, the alcohol is well-masked, quite light and fruity for the style.
