Lekker stevig biertje
Il gusto di una trappista!
Color marrón, con destellos rubí, turbia. De espuma color marfil, medianamente compacta, de buena retención y persistencia. Después desaparece pero deja un anillo persistente.
En nariz es dulce, resalta la nota a plátano, caramelo, malta, la levadura belga, dátiles, resina.
En boca es de cuerpo medio, dulce, de notas a plátano, caramelo, levadura belga, dátiles y levemente herbal o lupulo. En el retrogusto es balanceada, pero dominando un poco más el amargor. La carbonatacion es media.
Rica y fácil de beber, después de unos tragos va apareciendo una sensación licorosa, bastante agradable.
Servida en su cáliz. Color ámbar oscuro con destellos cobrizos, espuma beige cremosa y de excelente retención. El aroma es un espectáculo, simplemente agitando la copa bajo la nariz emana un desfile de notas aromáticas embriagador, levadura, malta tostada, plátano, ciruelas pasas, dátiles, bizcocho, nueces, especias, naranja madura, vainilla...(guau). Y si el olfato era un deleite el paladar es una auténtica fiesta. Es una cerveza de gran cuerpo, de trago corto, cálido, lleno de matices, notas de licor, cereal tostado, frutos secos, pan negro, repostería, regaliz, peras al vino, banana, dátiles, ciruelas, especias...el banquete completo. A medida que se avanza en la cata y toma temperatura, la cerveza se va abriendo y evolucionando en matices...(genial). El final es largo, algo dulce y amargo, seco y finamente especiado. Poco mas que decir de esta delicia, para mi fue la primera cerveza que, aun en mi bisoñez y lleno de anhelo de aprender, me hizo entender el término "complejidad" en una cerveza. Los hermanos trapenses si que saben bien como acercarnos a Dios...o por lo menos a los cielos, aunque sea solo por un rato. Todo mi respeto, reconocimiento y admiración por las cervezas trapenses. EXCELENTE
(Bottle) Lovely clear red-brown hue. Overcarbonated, good initial head for the style but faded fast. Heavy caramel/vanilla taste, not much else. Warming/?fusel alcohol afterburn. Boring yeast profile and slightly over bitter. I'm just not getting the dries fruit/banana/bubblegum other reviews are describing.
This is actually one of my favourite beer genres, but this drop seems made to a formula without much love.
Good but heavy, heavier as the Fehér Nyúl Calm Storm. So may Fehér Nyúl Calm Storm is smoother and easier to drink. Okay, Calm Storm is a Baltic Porter :D
75cL bottle at home
Hazy amber appearance with a frothy, mostly lasting beige head.
Aroma is deep, complex, and intense. Malty, vinous and alcohol, notes of nuts, dried dates and figs, banana, yeast.
Taste is sweet and strong, very vinous, earthy notes, dried fruit, yeast, nuts, honey.
Texture is full, mostly oily, high carbonation.

La Trappe Trappist Quadrupel 10.0%. Bubblegum aroma, full bodied, reddish Amber, caramel malt, bubblegum, banana, honey, nutty finish. Complex Quadruple from the only Dutch Trappist brewery 🇳🇱
Robe brune , belle mousse blanche.
Nez sur la banane bien mûre , le clou de girofle , le caramel , le pain toasté .
Bouche assez ronde , note d alcool ,de caramel assez flanche . Final plus subtile sur la banane , et les fruits secs , noix , noisette , raisin sec .
Final sucré.
Une belle complexité en bouche.
Final très alcoolisé quand la bière se réchauffe dans le verre.
Botella de 33 cl. Color ámbar oscuro, espuma cremosa color hueso con buena retención. Cuerpo medio. Aromas a caramelo, frutas maduras, banana, levadura. En boca es especiada y afrutada al principio del trago y después dulzona y maltosa, con el alcohol presente y bien integrado. Excelente.
Pours mahogany brown with a thick light brown foam.
Nose is sweet, toffee, dried fruits, some hidden roasty tones, aceton.
Mouth is burnt sugar, toffee, bread, dried fruits, vanilla.
Pleasant aroma,nice complexity across the tongue. Balanced sweetness and a hint of banana. Easy drinking for a ten percent beer. Recommended.
A small bottle purloined, er, uh, purchased 😆 at Liberty Wine Merchants on Commercial Drive in Vancouver.
A 4 ounce pour into a small snifter. A murky dark amber orange with a trace of pale head, very chilled, so not much on the nose. I could let it warm up a bit and re-nose it, but nah, full throttle ahead!
Absolutely wonderful dried stone fruit and malt notes on the palate. I thought I’d tried most of the renowned quads, but apparently not this’n. Pretty damned good, but I’ll let it warm up a bit and try some more. Stand by then..
Lätt rostad med mycket arom och kraftiga toner av banan
Stucchevolmente dolce, luppolo assente, lievito con sentori di vanilla e banana predominante. Probabilmente bevuta troppo giovane
330 ml bottle. Pours clear amber with beige head. A: caramel, dried plums, T: bit fizzy, medium body, alcoholy, harsh, either I had oxidized one or I just hate Quadrupels because this was the first one
Vidange
Bottle. Malty and spicy yeasty aroma and taste, caramel, light sweet, light to medium bitter. Full body, malty spicy caramel bitter sweet finish. Ok.
Primera cerveza denominada Quadrupel del mundo. Color ámbar caoba. Espuma color crema. Aroma a clavo y frutos secos, con notas afrutadas a pasas, higo, ciruela y frutos del bosque. Toque a vainilla, canela y caramelo. Copa trapense
Aroma is on the lighter side and has hints of orange, banana, clove and other baking spices. Amber body with a tan head. Tastes boozy, sweet and oaky in equal measure with an abrupt aftertaste. Pretty good; definitely a sipper.
Quad belga. Marrón claro. Poca espuma. Dulce afrutada cereza. Carbonatada medio alta. Retroguto dulzón agradamable. Cuerpo medio. Un poca más floja que sus hermanas de otras abadías pero bastante buena.
Dark amber, creamy lasting head. Dry fruits in aroma with lot sweetness. It continues in taste. Well hidden alcohol. High carbonation, moderate body. Nice beer to enjoy. Well balanced.
Creo que es la definición de "cerveza de abadía" por excelencia.
Dark amber, sightly hazy. With a good off-white head, great lacing.
Aroma: A heavy blend of both esters (banana, vanilla), malt (grains, caramel, nuts), hops (passion fruit) as well as dried fruits.
Mouth: Full body. Sweet but also a welcomed touch of bitterness. Also a hint of alcohol.
Stærk ale, lækker med en smule bitterhed til slut

Fantastisk kompleks øl, med et dejligt liv og palette. Flot hoved, aroma af vanilie, mandel, banan. En sødlig malt. Bliver med tiden i glasset mere drøj, som ikke klæder den.
Lagret i fem måneder
330ml bottle at home, drinked in the La Trappe glass on 25/05/2021 BB 07-2023 Pours a dark orange with very nice off-white foam and good lacing. Lighter color than the other quadrupels i had already tried. Aromas of malt, fruits, yeast, sugary, caramel and alcohol. Taste is warm and sweet with malt, caramel, burnt sugars, vanilla and many fruity notes including dry fruits and banana. Some licorice in the finish. Taste is extremely pleasant but more on the sweet side, that's not bad at all i love it. High 10% abv yet extremely drinkable and kind of medium-lighter body than other quadrupels, less dense. Oily texture, smooth and good carbonation. Great sweet and pleasant but a bit dry finish. It's very smooth and easy compared to other quadrupels but every sip is a pleasure, such a great taste..
Très forte, beaucoup de puissance ! Pas pour les débutants, mais appréciable tout de même
Genietbier. Vol, zoetig, fruittonen in de smaak. Heerlijk bier
Bottle, 33 cl, Bishop's Arms, Uppsala. Pleasant ale: warming, malty, dry, some sweet accents.
