La Trappe - Quadruppel Oak aged batch 15, 19 & 23 - 37.5cl - 3 bottles

Batch 15
This Quadrupel Oak Aged has been aged for a long time (2 years) in barriques of Oloroso sherry. The specific taste of this is very recognizable, in addition to vanilla, almond, honey blossom and caramel. The smell of this beer is therefore very complex.

The taste is rich, ripe and firm. Still, she remains soft and creamy, and this batch is arguably the softest to date. The taste buds are not only touched by the "walnut-like" Oloroso. With a little acidity of this sherry, the alcohol feels warm. The oak barriques have slightly tempered the bitterness of this Quadrupel and retain the influences of the Oloroso. This Oak Aged is a little less carbonated, but this ensures sufficient tingling and, in addition to the rich taste, gives a fuller "mouthfeel".

This batch was blended in November 2013.

Oloroso 85%
New Wood Medium Toast 15%

Batch 19
This Oak Aged Batch 19 is aged in barrels of Banyuls, a fortified French dessert wine from Roussillon, also called a Vin Doux Naturel. The smell and taste of banyuls are reminiscent of that of plum compote and cocoa. In addition to floral honey and smoked oak, this smell and taste can also be clearly seen in this batch. The taste of La Trappe Quadrupel remains in the foreground. The mouthfeel of alcohol remains and complements the complex and sweet taste. The bitterness is maintained by the presence of wood tannins. The carbonic acid gives a slight tingling on the tongue and the smoky flavor lingers in the throat.


This batch was blended in February 2015.

Banyuls 83%
New Oak High Toast 17%

Batch 23
Exactly 3 years before 2015 Oak Aged first appeared on the market with the famous Spätburgunder. This 2nd version with the famous German red wine is significantly different. The wine aromas of this pinot noir are easy to recognize in both the smell and the taste. In addition, it should be noted: sweet apple, banana and date. The entire taste association results in a spicy effect. The fairly strong carbonization provides a pungent smell and taste.

The taste has many wood tanines and is slightly sweet with this red wine, which tends to port. This taste lasts for a long time and slowly changes into a red wine-like aftertaste, which lingers. With a little hint of tobacco, this batch 23 is beery and full due to the famous Quadrupel. The alcohol remains well in the background, although the 11% of the Quadrupel is preserved.

This Oak Aged is best served at a temperature from 16-18 ° C.

This batch was blended in December 2015.
