La Trappe Quadrupel
Bierbrouwerij De Koningshoeven B.V.
Quadrupel
10.0% ABV
IBUs?
OG ?
750 ml bottle poured into a 25 oz snifter. With this beer, I have reviewed at least one beer from all Trappist breweries!
Appearance 4.5/5
Clear, ruby-garnet hued with a great depth of color, this ale poured with a huge murky light brown head, with good retention and lacing, if not the best.
Aroma 3.5/5
Estery and malty, with a complex nose: notes of toast, caramel and dark fruit, along with a banana-phenol character; sadly, all of it is overpowered by alcohol, that is soft but strong, and very very distracting.
Taste 4/5
Spice (mostly clove), banana, caramel and alcohol dominate the taste, blending into a nice dark fruit character with a slightly bitter and slightly tannic, medium finish. Typical, but good. The taste differs from other Quads in its strong banana notes, and (at times) overpowering booziness.
Mouthfeel 5/5
Medium bodied, with low carbonation aiding the beer.
Drinkability 4.5/5
Too much alcohol interference, but enjoyable otherwise.
