Named after brother Isidorus, Koningshoeven Abbey’s first brewer. Brewed to mark the occasion of the Trappist brewery’s 125th anniversary in 2009, Isid’or was so well received that it earned itself a permanent place in La Trappe’s line-up. Unfiltered, slightly sweet amber ale with a hint of caramel, which continues to ferment after bottling and has a rich, slightly bitter flavour, and a fruity aftertaste. Wheat & barley malts, Perle hop.

3.5330ml bottle from local supermarket. Smell is accompanied by bready, malty, caramel and yeasty character. Tastes on the sweet-bready-biscuity spectrum with dark fruit(apricot, fig) notes. Finishes with a light spicy-grassy dry sensation.
3.8Pours a hazy golden brown on tap with dense off-white foam that dissipates to leave moderate lace. Aroma of mild Belgian phenols and esters with a touch of caramel and toasted malt behind. Taste is lightly sweet from the malt and booze, minimal bitterness to balance, big yeast driven flavors. Fun to try one from LaTrappe ice never seen.
3.6Bottiglia. Il naso riconosce indizi di orzo tostato. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al palato prevalgono impressioni di caramello, miele, pane cotto di recente, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi e frutta passita.
3.8in keretében of nagy belga sörpótlás
hát nem árul zsákba macskát, egyből belecsap a lecsólevesbe. alkoholgörgeteg de a karamellmaláta annyira csúsztatóssá teszi, hogy az ember észre se veszi de már be is puszilta az egész üveggel. színe gyagog, olyan mint a frissen lopott rézhuzal. habja semillyen, leginkább nincs. édes, komlózása perle.
4.0Very nice abbey ale, part of Trappist goft pack. Taste not reflective of the high strength, dangerous combination!
3.9Color ámbar, con tonos rojizos. Poca actividad de carbonatacion, y espuma de poca retención y poca persistencia, de color beige, de burbuja mediana.
En nariz es dulce, se percibe la presencia de notas a frutas maduras, malta y lupulo, todo muy balanceado.
En boca es muy agradable, con carbonatacion ligera, aparecen notas a frutas maduras como plátano, durazno, también notas a caramelo, malta tostada, y ligeramente lupulo. Todos los sabores destacan por igual, dejando un ligero retrogusto dulce y amargo, poco picante. Momentos después se torna una sensación licorosa. Es de cuerpo medio.
3.6330ml bottle as part of a delivery from Beautiful Beers and drunk at home. Reddish amber, mostly clear with a ring of off-white head. Light aroma of malts, toffee, some stone fruit jammy notes. Starts sweet with heavy yeast character, but quickly balances in the finish. Light notes of orange bitters in the aftertaste. It's a decent complex beer, not surprising considering the course.
4.0Honningfarvet, uklart og mørkt skum, der hænger ned af glasset. Duft af muld og karamel. Smag af karamel, chokolade. God fylde og masser af kulsyre.
3.8(bottle 0,33l from Beershop (Brno)) Overall: Nice strong spicy. Drinkable.
Aroma: Spicy, fruity, light sweet.
Appearance: Light hazy dark golden. Medium off-white head.
Taste: Spicy, medium sweet, fruity.
Palate: Medium body. Spicy finish.
3.0Ambrée avec amertume légère
3.7It's good. It's really good. But there's also something plain about it, when compared to its siblings. It's still a Ferrari, just the base model
3.833cl Bottle best by 09/2023 - nose is fruity esthers with a strong malty presence. Well rounded with no discernible aromas. I really struggle with this style when it comes to identifying flavors. It's goooooood. Purnell country home sausage.
2.82 finger white head. Dissipates rather quickly to a ¼ head. No lacing.
Hazy, deep amber coloured beer.
Aroma of dried figs, a metallic note, raisins and a hint of banana mallow.
Taste of banana mallow, a metallic note, hints of dried dark fruit and a general vinous quality to it.
Mouthfeel is light but with an adequate body. Medium-low bitterness. Medium carbonation. Lightly astringent. Drinkable.
Overall: Decent. More of the same, in my opinion. Then again La Trappe hasn't wowed me yet. I'm starting to think blonde Belgians aren't my thing, I prefer Dubbels & Quads.
4.0Une trappiste riche et équilibré, gout typique
3.615.3.2021: 330 ml bottle at home, 7.5% ABV, bb. 8.2022, bought at La Mise En Biere, Lausanne. Pours a nearly clear dark amber with an large off-white head and some sediment at the bottom of the bottle. The aroma is medium yeasty, medium malty and fruity with pear, spices, cloves, caramel, brown sugar, dark fruits, raisins and figs. Medium to full body with an average carbonation, a medium sweetness and a light to medium bitterness. The flavor is similar to the smell with distinct spicy and fruity yeast notes and a solid sweetish malt backbone - dark fruits, raisins, some pear, cloves, brown sugar, caramel, toasted bread. Finishes with a light bitterness, some residual malt and light fruity notes.

3.6Old rating from 2017 - 330ml bottle, pours caramel with a white head. Aromas & tastes of mulled fruits, soft spices, earth, banana, plums, apricots, figs, dates, raisins, cloves, coriander, cinnamon & flora. Medium body. Long warming finish
4.1Inte övermäktig men tydlig trappist-punch.
3.6Frisk mild arom med belgisk jäsr, karamellmalt och humle. Mild smaknpå alla sätt, inte ett spår av den höga alkoholhalten. Jät, karamell och humlebäska även i smakbilden. Genomgående bra utan att sticka ut särskilt.
3.5Uklar amber med hvitt skum. Aroma plomme gjær humle. Smak hvetemalt gjær moden banan. Fin fylde og godt balansert. Flaske kjøpt på Vinmonopolet Jekta
4.0Mild wheaty with a sweet acidic finish. Easy to drink, summer favorite. Big contender to beers like Hoegarden.
3.5Tasty and smells delicious. Malt and yeast flavour combo is biscuity.

3.2Lively and yeasty, sweet caramel and banana, a little chocolate and spice. Classic stuff, but just not to my personal taste.
Beer52 advent calendar day 23.
4.0Day 23 of beer52 advent calendar. Dark amber colour with a decent off white head, spicy, caramel, yeasty, dried fruit aroma, meduim body, sweet, dark fruit, caramel, light spice, yeasty. Nice
3.6Dec 2020. Small dark bottle, unfiltered, from the Beer52 advent calendar. I like this. I like this rather more than I did last time. This is sweet. Candy sweet. Yummy. Great mouthful of barley malt sweetness playing with the live yeast. This is beer. And it's damn gorgeous. [3.9]
Sept 2018. 330ml dark bottle, unfiltered, from BeerWulf. This is a pleasant straightforward Belgian amber ale. Sweet, but not too sweet. Spicy from the hot fermentation and active yeast, but not too spicy. Yeasty, but not too yeasty. A little hoppier than average. Perhaps a little more sombre than others, but that marks it out as a little bit different. I kind of like my Belgians to be sweeter and more fun, but I'm quite enjoying this. It has a subtle presence, with an interesting range of flavours. It's not one that's going to get big scores from me, but I am reasonably impressed and pleased with the experience. [3.2]

3.8(Combined rates on 04/12/20 and 24/06/22)
Clear amber pour with generous off-white head, retaining perfectly; very good looks. Spicy and fruity aroma, roasted malts, dark fruit, raisin. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, mild bitter, spicy. Fine carbo. Nice brew.
On 16/11/22 a bottle 75cl. Confirming the nice impression and the good looks. Beautiful clear ruby amber or dark-orange pour with indeed generous creme coloured head. This time surprising little aroma, but still this nice delicate taste.
