La Trappe Oak Aged Batch 33 2018 Quadrupel - 37.5 CL

The following ratio was used for Batch 33: Cask Type In batch Bourbon US 80% New Oak Medium Toast 15% New Oak High Toast 5% Batch 33 has a dark amber color, 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 aging process and secondary fermentation in the bottle have increased the ABV to almost 12%. There are pronounced notes of Bourbon Whiskey on the nose and palate, with hints of vanilla, oak, almond, and plums. Batch 33 is extremely flavorful 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 finish. As the beer warms up, the oak flavor 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 harmonious flavor. A very high-quality degustation beer to be enjoyed in peace.
