The La Trappe Quad is definitely a different beast than the other belgian quads. I personally like Rochefort 10 the best. However, sometimes the La Trappe really hits my taste buds the right way. The first time I tried it I did find it cloying but it has grown on me quite a bit. The Oaked version of...

OH man, I would love that bottle of Cantillon, but I have nothing worthy. The funny thing is that I had to drink a bottle of this in the airport (Schipol) because Iceland Air was giving me the business about the weight of my bags. I also brought back 5 liters of straight lambic right from the barre...

I heard a rumor that RRIPA MAY be a permanent listing.... apparently being sold as individual cans not 6 packs.

I just tried this for the first time right now and it is much more bitter than what I expected when I saw it on the shelf. It is decent but I can pick out the iron / mineral taste on the finish that others have mentioned. I was really underwhelmed with the aroma. Lots of rindy / resiny hop bite in t...

Also have one bottle of Oak Aged (Batch #1) La Trappe Quad.

I really enjoyed this one; it is hard to come by and kinda expensive (20 euro at De Bier Konig in A-Dam)

Just tried this beer and I think it is pretty stellar. Aroma was a little muted but I think the taste is what many people are looking for. Full review at my site.
