La Trappe Quadrupel Oak Aged Batch #30 | Bierbrouwerij De Koningshoeven
ABV: 11.0%
IBU: 22
Style: Belgian Quadrupel
Out of Production
Description: BATCH 30 was distributed as follows: Type in BATCH Cachaça 80% New Oak Medium Toast 20% Batch 30 is presented with a fragile beige foam head and a warm gold/amber-coloured beer tone. The most important part of this batch is the cachaça, the Brazilian term for rum, which, just like other varieties of rum, is also made from sugar cane. The difference is that this rum is always made entirely of freshly-squeezed sugar cane juice, which is what also gives it a distinct sugar cane taste. The first impression in terms of scent is alcoholic with fruity rum hints of tropical fruit and several herbs, including ginger and liquorice. Just like the caramel and malt aromas, the oak is also clearly present, but not too prominently. The taste is full to bombastic, with plenty of caramel, spices and ripe fruit. Without a doubt, you can recognise the flavours of ginger, dates, sweets, oak, smoke, and, of course, the remarkable bitterness of La Trappe Quadrupel. The ageing enjoys the proper fullness; the taste is pleasantly sweet while not losing any of the robustness. Together with the vanilla, all these flavours combine to make a beer that brings new taste sensations to the fore with every sip
