La Trappe Quadrupel Oak Aged Batch #54

Batch #54
Red Wine - Bordeaux 91%
New Oak Medium Toast 9%

La Trappe Quadrupel Oak Aged Batch 54 has been aged for over 3.5 years in oak red wine barrels from the French Bordeaux region. These so-called Bordelaise barrels originate from an area renowned worldwide for its powerful and complex red wines, made from grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec.

The long aging in these barrels has given the beer a deep chestnut brown color – considerably darker than the regular Quadrupel. Upon pouring, the delicate, beige head stands out, with exceptionally fine bubbles.

The aroma immediately reveals a pleasant vanilla aroma, originating from the oak. A rich palette of walnuts, figs, plums, and a subtle hint of leather also unfolds. The taste is full and round, with a refreshing acidity that has elegantly transitioned from the wine into the beer.
