HOPIQ FACEOFF
Netherlands · Belgian Quadrupel · 10% ABV
85%
Overall similarity
hopIQ take
La Trappe Quadrupel if you want restraint and elegance,
Judgment Day if you want boldness and complexity.
Both sit at 10% ABV with identical IBUs, but La Trappe leans monastic and balanced—it's what a Trappist brewery does best. Judgment Day swings harder toward dark fruit and spice, almost aggressive in its layering. Neither is better; it's about whether you want meditation or provocation.

La Trappe Quadrupel
La Trappe Quadrupel hits like a warm blanket made of bread crust and honey. There's a cleanliness to it—the kind of purity you get when monks have been perfecting one beer for decades. Dark fruit sits in the background, polite, almost deferential. The finish is dry and slightly peppery, but never rough. It's a beer that doesn't demand your attention; it earns it.
The Lost Abbey Judgment Day
Judgment Day arrives with serious intent. Dark cherry, plum, and molasses come at you immediately, followed by a peppery warmth that lingers. There's an almost vinous quality—it feels less like beer and more like a spirituous meditation on what Belgian yeast can do when left alone. The mouthfeel is thicker, rounder. It's a beer that wants you to notice it.
