      If you go from Kwak to the Abt 12, you'll never drink the previous again. And I can't blame you.

        Well, just finished the Abt…great stuff. already decided wasn't going to go for the Kwak again.
        Quick question Seul, forgive my ignorance, but what does the  dubbel/tripel/quadrupel refer to?
        oh I forgot, I had the Chimay the other night too, nice, tasted a bit darker ......possibly?
        here's a link to the shops Belgy-section http://www.stirchleywines.co.uk/index.php/the-list/imported-beer/belgium-beer
        I like how they list it by brewery.
        got me a nice 330ml and a smaller Westmalle glass too…....right, what's next?

          _La Trappe Dubbel

          An authentic Trappist beer with a deep red-brown colour. Through the use of a.o. caramel malt, it has a soft aromatic, caramel-like character. A little bit sweet in taste with a fresh aftertaste.

          7.0% vol. alc., pouring temperature 10-14 ºC_

          _La Trappe Tripel

          A special and powerful Trappist. Including the use of coriander owes it its spicy character. Golden in color with a fruity, bittersweet taste.

          8% alcohol, serving temperature10-14 °C_

          _La Trappe Quadrupel

          A unique Trappist beer that is even put to rest sorted by year in the cellars of the abbey for further fermentation. The strongest beer of La Trappe with a beautiful amber colour. The warm taste is full and well-balanced. A little bit sweet and pleasantly bitter. La Trappe Quadruple is also fermented in oak barrels.

          Since 2008, we also age La Trappe Quadrupel in oak barrels. This gives the oak-aged Trappist beer an even fuller taste with a special wooded scent, which is comparable to wood-aged red wine. Starting June 2010 La Trappe Oak Aged is available in bottles of 37,5cl and exclusively for sale at the store at the brewery.

          10% vol. alc., pouring temperature 10-14 ºC_

            Thanks, but  I was wondering was wether it referred to a brewing process or something but apparently;

            "tripel:(from wikipedia) The two main theories are that it indicates strength, either by a series of marks, such as crosses, on a cask - X for the weakest strength, XX for medium strength, and XXX for the strongest beer, or by reference to theoriginal gravity of a beer which roughly corresponds to 3% abv, 6% abv and 9% abv."

                        2 rows of 2011 and 2010. You can tell that I like the Chimay GR.

                        Seul, this is what I meant

                            Ha, thanks Seul but you shouldn't be amazed. I guess your collection is far more spectacular. Gonna order some 2012 soon, only because that's the only stuff my supplier has left 🙂
                            I don't intend to waste them and will probably drink them on special occasions only. Until then I'll enjoy the lovely St. Bernardus Abt 12, Tripel Karmeliet, Corsendonk and Westmalle Tripel.

                            One more thing Seul: Do you drink brune/bruine beers and if so which ones?

                              There are few bruin beers I drink… Abt 12, Duivels Bier,...

                              Also: I stopped mid-post to pour me an Abt 12  😉
