In 1991, deep within the sacred walls of Koningshoeven Abbey, I was quietly unveiled — the world’s first-ever Quadrupel. My name would go on to define an entire style, but I remain rooted in tradition, crafted with reverence and guarded care. I am the original heavyweight, born in secrecy and brewed with soul.

Amber and glowing, crowned with a creamy head, I open with sweet aromas of raisins, vanilla, banana, and cloves. One sip and the warmth begins — rich, malty depths unfold into caramelised dates, roasted nuts, and a subtle spice that lingers long after the glass is empty. I’m full-bodied, intense, yet impossibly smooth — a comforting presence in every season.

Best savoured with hearty stews, blue cheese, or a piece of dark chocolate by candlelight, I’m more than a beer. I, the La Trappe Quadrupel, is a Trappist triumph, brewed to warm both body and soul.
