Description In 1991, La Trappe made history by being the very first brewery in the world to name a beer 'Quadrupel'. To celebrate the 35th anniversary of this absolute legend, the Special Edition 2026 was created. This is a richer, darker, and more distinctive interpretation of the original. Crafted with no less than six different malts, the Trappist monks and brewers also added wheat and oatmeal for an extra velvety texture. Because it is a strict limited edition (available from November 2026, while stocks last), this is an incredibly exclusive, full-bodied ale that invites you to slow down and truly savor the moment.
Taste Description The beer pours beautifully with a deep dark amber color and a warm sheen. The nose entices you with rich aromas of caramel and toffee, seamlessly complemented by cereal and biscuit notes with a subtle spicy edge. On the palate, you immediately notice what the wheat and oatmeal bring to the table: the beer is incredibly full-flavored, round, and has an almost creamy texture. Warm caramel notes play alongside a perfectly balanced bitterness. The finish is long, smooth, and wonderfully warming (10.5%), with lingering caramel and biscuit notes. Best served between 10 and 14°C.
Food Pairing A heavy, complex, and sweet-spicy Trappist at 10.5% is made for the ultimate rustic indulgence during the colder months:
- Dish: Rich, traditional stews or slow-cooked meats. Think of a rustic beef stew braised in dark beer, or duck confit.
- Dessert/Sweet: Caramel and chocolate desserts. A warm sticky toffee pudding or a rich chocolate truffle cake is pure magic here.
- Cheese: Spicy, mature abbey cheeses or a nice crumbly aged Gouda. A mild blue cheese also contrasts beautifully with the caramel sweetness.
La Trappe Trappist
Taste the silence
The subtle scent of hops, yeast and malt is present at the Abbey of Our Lady of Koningshoeven in Berkel-Enschot. Trappist beer has been brewed here since 1884 and the monks of the abbey are the originators of this beer. They are commonly referred to as "Trappists," named after the origin of their order, the French Soligny-La-Trappe. This order is characterized by austerity, silence and the obligation of charity.
