La Trappe Oak Aged Batch 33 2018 Quadrupel - 37.5 CL

The following ratio was used for Batch 33: Barrel type In batch Bourbon VS 80% New Oak Medium Toast 15% New Oak High Toast 5% Batch 33 has a dark amber colour, darker than the regular Quadrupel. The head is beige and consists of very fine bubbles. The main component of this batch matured for 2 years in American Bourbon Whiskey barrels from Kentucky. This long maturation process and the secondary fermentation in the bottle has increased the ABV to almost 12%. There are pronounced Bourbon Whiskey notes on the nose and palate, with hints of vanilla, oak, almond and plum. Batch 33 is extremely flavoursome and complex, resulting in a pleasant, even balance between La Trappe Quadrupel, Bourbon Whiskey and oak. New associations continue to emerge during the tasting process. Despite the considerable sweetness, the carbonation in the beer keeps it fresh and provides a pleasant tingling sensation. The taste of alcohol is clearly present in the aftertaste. As the beer warms up, the taste of the oak becomes more pronounced, the beer becomes richer in tannins and a soft note of vanilla creeps in. A highly recommended beer, characterized by great complexity and a harmonious taste. A very high quality tasting beer to enjoy in peace.
