An innovation that brings stories and flavors in each sip
In a world where artisanal drinks seek to surprise, a creation arises that combines generations of tradition with a modern and daring touch. The collaboration between one of the most respected breweries of the Trapense scene and a recognized contemporary brewer has resulted in a liquid jewel that not only delights, but also tells stories of origin and commitment.
The art of merging the ancestral with the innovative
The product in question is a quadrupel style beer with a robust character, 10% alcohol and a clear mission: honoring the beer tradition while incorporating ingredients and vanguard techniques. Initially elaborated in a monastery of Trapense tradition in Holland during the fall of 2020, its recipe was perfected in the laboratories of a Scottish brewery before its debut. The idea was to create a sensory experience that combines nuts, heather honey and a subtle balance of US hops that provide a delicate and elegant bitterness.
A sensory profile that conquers the palate and memory
In the glass, this beer displays a deep tone of amber ruby, crowned by a persistent foam and fine bubbles. As they approach, their aromas offer a feast of caramelization, cake notes and nuts, complemented by the floral and amaderada presence of Scottish hell honey, which intensifies after the service. In the taste, sweetness is perfectly balancing with the subtle bitterness provided by the hops, creating a complex and harmonious scenario, where black and caramel bassies look in each drink.
A deep commitment to tradition and solidarity
Beyond its exquisite profile, this beer symbolizes an act of respect for Cistercian philosophy and the philosophy of social responsibility. Part of its benefits are destined for beneficial causes, reflecting the essence of the expression ‘ora et labora’ that guides the monastic community. Since its foundation in the 1880s in Berkelenschot, the Trappe anticipated that its beer work would be a source of income to sustain its community and spiritual life, and this collaboration continues with that spirit of giving and growing.
The art of taste and save with patience
With a presentation that invites waiting, this limited edition arrives in bottles that promise to age with grace. The recommendation to enjoy it to the fullest is to serve between 10 and 13 ° C in elegant glasses such as limestone, snifter or tulip. The preferential consumption date is established by December 2023, but its character and quality allow it to evolve if it is preserved with care and passion.
This type of collaborations remind us that beer can be much more than a simple drink: it can be a bridge between cultures, a way of honoring ancestral traditions and a way to support noble causes. The next time you raise a glass, think about the stories, hands and ideas that bind in each drop. The true strength of a good beer is in its ability to unite, inspire and transform.
