There are a number of different Trappist beer styles, all are perfect for enjoying with a hearty meal or paired with dessert. These include:

1. Pater Beer: this is the ‘monks beer’, a lower alcohol brew (approximately 5% ABV), that is designed to be consumed by the Monks during festive occasions. Expect spicy, yeasty notes in this very drinkable style.

2. Dubbel: a darker brew (6-8% ABV), that has aromas and flavours of dark fruits (raisins, prunes, dates). Expect sweetness from the malts, with a dry finish.

3. Tripel: typically gold in colour with a higher alcohol level (8-10% ABV). You’ll find a lighter sweetness than the Dubbel, with more flavour and ester notes imparted from the yeast used in the brew.

4. Quadrupel: the strongest of the Trappist beers (10%+ ABV). Expect spicy and ripe fruit flavours in this excellent sipper.
