National Beer Days, International Beer Days, IPA Days, Belgian Beer Weekend, presently we are in Belgian Beer Week 2025 (website), the celebratory drinking doesn't stop! 😉 So what better than a Quadrupel Trappist ale to celebrate with?!? The 10.0% Quadrupel from La Trappe (website) is indeed a Trappist ale, and a pretty good one to choose too, and which La Trappe claims to be the first Quadrupel in the World!
I've seen La Trappe Quadrupel described as an amber beer, a dark amber beer, but it poured out so dark it looks more like a dark reddish brown colour, it is that dark an amber, see my photograph above, which is pretty accurate! Brewed with Hallertau Northern Brewer (hopslist) and Slovenian Super Steirer (also known as Super Styrian, ie Aurora grown in Slovenia - hopslist), this Quadrupel has a dark fruits and slightly vanilla aroma, as with most malty or slightly malty ales I detected significant butterscotch, as well as dark fruits in the flavour. Rich, slightly sweet, and smooth to drink, with a warmth from the alcohol, but dry enough to drink easily. 👍
Nice one, cheers, and Happy Belgian Beer Week! 😁
