La Trappe Quadrupel Oak Aged Batch 25 - Including original packaging 2016 - 37.5 CL

Batch 25 BATCH 25 (blended in August 2016) was divided as follows: Type BATCH Barrels used Kirsch schnapps 59% New Oak Medium Toast 30% Dry white wine (Pouily Fumé & Sancerre) 11% Symbolically a unique batch; the 25th Oak Aged batch during the 25th anniversary of La Trappe Quadrupel. The foam head of this clear, amber brown beer remains fragile - just like the foam head of batch 24 - and rests on the beer like a thin silk blanket. This accentuates the scent of vanilla, followed by the scent of almond, honey, caramel, oak and malt. A refreshing scent clearly predominates, reminiscent of white wine (floral and slightly acidic). The first taste clearly gives the impression of La Trappe Quadrupel, followed unmistakably by the refreshing and fruity wine aroma and moving on to an alcoholic heart-warming aftertaste. This aftertaste is further emphasized by the aroma of the Kirsch, with a hint of cherries. Oak is also clearly and subdued in the aftertaste, giving the beer a slightly smoky character. Although only slightly carbonated, it fits well with the desired serving temperature of 16°-18°. This way, the aromas of this uniquely soft and delicate beer come into their own.
