ich, reverent, and brewed with purpose since 1987.
I was born within the sacred walls of Koningshoeven Abbey, carrying the spirit of Trappist tradition in every pour. My deep brown robe and ivory crown hint at the warmth within — a velvety elixir shaped by generations of monastic care.
On the nose, I rise with soft aromas of vanilla, roasted chocolate, and dark fruits. One sip and you’ll find a harmony of caramel malts, fig, honey, and dried fruit, unfolding slowly and serenely across the palate. My sweetness is subtle, never loud — a quiet comfort that lingers long after the last drop.
Pair me with stews, baked meats, nuts, or a slice of apple pie. I am a beer for reflection — full-bodied, balanced, and deeply satisfying.

La Trappe is one of the 11 Trappist Breweries in the world with the Authentic Trappist Product (ATP) logo on their beers. The brewery was founded in 1884 by a group of French Trappist monks from the Koningshoeven Abbey who sought refuge in the moorlands of Berkel-Enschot. The monks established the brewery in order to generate funds for the upkeep of the monastery, as well as for the construction of a new brewery. Today, La Trappe is a greatly respected brewery, thanks to its highly unique, richly flavoured, and authentic ales, alongside its commitment to social responsibility and sustainability!
