La Trappe

A rich, warming Trappist quadrupel with dark fruit, caramel, spice and a long velvety finish. La Trappe Quadrupel is one of the great classic Trappist ales of the Netherlands, deep amber to mahogany in colour, full bodied, and layered with dark fruit, caramelised malt, spice, and gentle warmth. Brewed by Bierbrouwerij De Koningshoeven, it is widely recognised as the original beer to use the name “Quadrupel”, first introduced in 1991. If you enjoy bold, contemplative ales with real depth and complexity, La Trappe Quadrupel is a standout. It combines rich malt sweetness, notes of dates, toffee, banana, almond, and vanilla, and a pleasantly bitter edge, all wrapped in a smooth, bottle conditioned Trappist style that evolves beautifully in the glass. Tasting Notes Aroma: Dark fruit, banana, almond, vanilla, and light toasted malt. Palate: Full and warming with layers of caramel, dates, dark sugar, and subtle spice. Finish: Long, rich, gently bitter, and softly sweet. About the Brewery La Trappe is brewed by Bierbrouwerij De Koningshoeven at Koningshoeven Abbey in the Netherlands, one of the world’s few authentic Trappist breweries. The brewery’s roots date back to the 19th century, and its beers are closely tied to monastic brewing tradition, with production carried out under Trappist supervision. That heritage, combined with a reputation for bottle conditioned, characterful ales, has made La Trappe one of the most respected Trappist names in the world. Limited Release / Range Note La Trappe Quadrupel is a permanent part of the La Trappe range rather than a seasonal release, and remains the brewery’s heaviest standard ale. It is also regarded as a benchmark example of the quadrupel style.
