Bornem Double Abbey Ale

First to recommend

Description

Bornem Double Abbey Ale is a medium-dark, smooth, and luscious Trappist beer. It is slightly sweet w/a hint of coffee and fruit and a good head on it. Totally delicious. Its sort of like a more sweet version of Chimay Blue. Supposedly, the monks used to fast for 40 days and drink nothing but this ale. I guess they thought that getting hammered helped them get closer to God.

Corsendonk Pater

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

A Belgian/Trappist brown ale from the Corsendonk monastery who originally started producing beer in the 15 century. Corsendon pater is luscious, has a thick head, is a litte starchy, notes of fruit and even undertones of chocolate. Delicious.

Chimay Blue

Description

Chimay is probably one of the best known Trappist breweries and deservedly so. Chimay Blue is my fav of all the Chimay beers: rich, creamy, complex. I love that it comes corked, makes beer drinking seem so high-end ;-)

Brewery Ommegang. Belgian brewing in America.

First to recommend

5 people recommended this item

Description

This is one great beer- rich, dark, great flavor w/a lot of subtlety. Ommegang is both old school and modern in that it is Belgian beer brewed in upstate New York. I also like the name- it has onomatopoetic appeal, sounds fun and delicious.
