Speaking of IPA's these 2 are always in my fridge. Def different and fairly low % but both ultra tasty.

Love what the dudes at Flying Monkey are doing.  Their Chocolate Manifesto is astounding…

[mahlon321]

I just found out about the Chocolate Manifesto, I've been dying to try it!! I dig most of their beer so I was hoping that it wouldn't disappoint!! Glad to hear it's good!!
I'm hoping to sweet talk my wife's uncle who runs one of the LCBO's in town to bring some in for me!! Fingers crossed!

4.7%. Previous bottles I had were better, but still a good, light starter…

4.7%? I didn't know you would stoop so low. Would need to be a super hot day for me, like 3pm in Florida in August hot.

[Seul]

I needed something to take the edge off - finishing Far Cry 4!.. Shit's getting intense!..

Don't worry… Pics of something much stronger (and better) in a bit...

3 pm?.. Florida?.. August?.. I'd just hang myself.

It is a sweltering hell, trust me hahaha

This needs a couple of months to balance out, but it's really good anyhow…

The highly coveted Orval… At work I receive one case a week, and there are so many people who know when it arrives, that it's usually sold out in half an hour... On the other hand, for me it's easy to get some...

It's simply stellar beer... I'm usually not that fond of lighter beers, but this is a huge exception...

Fresh, bottled Dec 2014.

Who's got a fancy new camera?

[Seul]

What, the 35 quid Panasonic Lumix from 2009?.. Hardly fancy, but I do like it a lot… 

[Seul]

Love this label - love this brewery - love this beer.

I was just at Whole Foods and they had this, so I picked up a bottle. Must be good if @Seul loves it. I'll probably try it later.

I really need to try out more Belgian beers, I just don't know where to start.
Any off the cuff recommendations would be appreciated, not sure what to look out for!
Some recent drinks.

I thought the coffee on this was well done, but almost to a fault. It overtook the beer flavor and just tasted a bit like cold brew to me all in all.

Another good one from Founders, they always make great dark beers. This one looks intimidating but drank very smoothly.

[jdl1279]

Founder's is an amazing brewery @Broark On the Belgian front, the standard recommendations that are easy to come by are Chimay Blue and Rochefort 10

[emceeQ]

The Black Rye is definitely an interesting/enjoyable beer.  It's actually one of the first beers they made, and they decided to put it back into production for the first time in quite a while this year…

Easily available here in Texas- the Chimay Blue and the Rochefort 10 (as mentioned above) are good picks, as is St. Bernardus Abt 12.  I'll probably catch some flack for it, but Hoegaarden is a solid white beer, if you like that style.  I love Cuvee des Jacobins, but it's a sour beer, which not everyone likes.  Petrus and Rodenbach also make good sour reds; I especially like the Grand Cru by Rodenbach.  The Orval that Seul posted isn't tough to find, and his recommendations are always worthwhile, even though he's a complete loser otherwise.

That covers a couple of different styles, so it should be enough to get you started…
