La Trappe Quadrupel

Tasted from a 500 ml bottle. The fact that this one is a strong beer doesn’t seem to affect its taste. Its nice amber red color makes a good impression at the beginning. Its sweet bitterness confirms that impression. Very nicey treated beer. My congratulations to the brewery!!!

The bottle I got wasn’t that great. Tasted like it needed to age for a bit. Very strong alcohol profile, like a fresh barleywine. I also tried their tripel at the same time, which was excellent.

Amazingly good. Starts with an elegantly embossed bottle leading to the rich copper colour and a big foamy head, tan in colour. The aroma was slightly "fruity" and also of spices; for the life of me I know not which ones. Taste and mouthfeel were just superb, with more fruit and spice.

Translucent hazy orange body (very light for an abt it seems); medium beige head, doesn’t last long. Deep aroma - bread, alcohol tones, apricot hints. Initial kick of alcohol, finishing kick of alcohol; doesn’t come off particularly boozy however. Missing the range of dark flavors typical of the style; rather this seems more of a tripel/quad hybrid. Bread, mandarin orange, fruitcake, reminds me of Abbaye des Rocs’ brews. A well made and respectable monastic beer.

Taster at Seattle International Beer Festival. Orange brown with no head. Smells of caramel apples, perfect for fall. Tastes of slight banana, apple, and caramel.

Colore marrone con riflessi arancioni o ambra,schiuma marroncina e spessa.Aroma quasi vinoso,zuccheroso.Il gusto è fruttato,di mora,dolce ma un pò alcoolico,con qualche nota di cioccolato.Una buona birra.

Bottled. Brown with beige head. Aroma and flavor of caramel, roasted malts, coffee, dried fruit and chocolate. Alcoholic

Smells of orangy fruit, tastes bitter, like dark fruits, vaguely soapy and with a slight alcohol burn. Color is a rich clear orange with thin head. Light med. body and a bitter finish.
