La Trappe Quadrupel Oak Aged Batch 9 2011 - 37.5 CL

BATCH 9 (blended on December 14, 2011) was distributed as follows: Type BATCH Limosine Oak used Malbec barrels Medium Toast 86% New Oak Medium Toast 7% New Oak High Toast 7% BATCH 9 is the first to use Malbec wine barrels from Cahors. This wine stands out for its extremely high tannin content from the Auxerrois grape, the darkest and most tannin-rich wine grape. However, because this wine grape is very sensitive, it is no longer grown much, although it has a very distinct character. By maturing our Quadrupel in these wine barrels, many flavor associations from this wine can be found in the aged beer. Because the aged beer from these barrels has a rich taste, the brewers have reduced the percentage of new oak to 14% for this batch. This makes the wood flavor and wood-related aromas a little less prominent, but the beautiful wine bouquet of the Malbec wine comes out so much better.
