Its charms begin with the amber color and continue with the well-formed foam, proceed to the complex canvas of aromas from ripe fruits, dark fruits, spices, cumin, vanilla, burnt sugar, and end in the richness of flavors from citrus fruits, herbs, spices, and caramel. It is creamy and pleasantly bittersweet. Its character is mainly due to maturation in wooden barrels.

La Trappe Quadrupel belongs to the La Trappe family, which is a seal of premium quality. It is the only Trappist beer category (apart from the six in Belgium) that is based in the Netherlands. Its location is at the monastery in the Koningshoeven area, and its history dates back to 1880. 

Its production is controlled as required by the law for Trappist beers by the monks. In 1991, La Trappe Quadrupel was released, in 2003 the White Trappist, and in 2010 La Trappe Quadrupel aged in barrels was developed. La Trappe Quadrupel is best enjoyed at 10-14 degrees Celsius.
