La Trappe Quadrupel

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to dark brown in color with excellent clarity and a rich, dense head that persists admirably. The viscous body clings to the glass, revealing excellent carbonation and a professional presentation befitting its Trappist heritage.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a complex bouquet of dried plums, dark stone fruits, and subtle caramel notes underpinned by warm alcohol vapors. Belgian yeast character emerges alongside bread and malt complexity, creating a sophisticated and inviting aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a rich, malty sweetness complemented by dark fruit and caramel flavors that define the entry. Mid-palate reveals creamy body, yeasty notes, and bread-like character before transitioning to a dry, bitter finish that provides excellent balance to the inherent sweetness.

◑ Finish

A persistent, warming finish with gentle bitterness and lingering caramel notes that fade gracefully. The alcohol warmth provides structure without overwhelming, leaving a sophisticated aftertaste.
