Beer Selection - Part 2

Ah, back on beer... Here's a second round of beer sampling.

Maredsous: (Belgian Abbey Ale) This comes in two flavors: 1) Dubbel (8%) and 2) Triple (10%). The percentages are the alchol content. Yes, that's right - this is some high powered beer!These are my favorite heavy Belgian ale "liquid bread" type beers. These are meant to be consumed slowly and enjoyed. The full taste is rich and warm, yet has a bit of crispness to it (i.e. they aren't "creamy" like some other heavy beers). It has a slight sweetness to it, but not too sweet. They are still beers, of course, but take beer to that ultimate level of goodness. And, these aren't dark beers either. They are a lovely amber color that reflects the rich and wonderful tastes.

Pawel - Kwak: Can't say much about this one. It really didn't blow my skirt up like other beers have done before. It was good, but just not as tastey as Maredsous or St. Bernardus.
