102 | Rodenbach Grand Cru | Belgium | Flanders Red | 4.3
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8 Pours a reddish/brown. Taste is mainly of sour cherries. This is one interesting beer unlike any other Ive had to date. Palate is slighty bitter and very sour. Certainly not one recommended in mass quanities, but sipping on a few of these would make for excellent night of drinking! |

103 | Rochefort Trappistes 10 | Belgium | Abbey Quadrupel | 4.8
Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 9 I had this with Westy 12. Wow! This is one excellent belgian ale. Dark and complex flavor mainly dark fruit with a slight smokey feel. It hides the high ABV well. Great for sipping. A little costy but hey life is short, so treat yourself every once in a while. |

104 | Orval | Belgium | Belgian Ale | 3.5
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7 Re-rating this beer and I was harsh at my previous 2.6 rating. Citrus and perfume aroma. Cloudy yellowish/orange appearance with a large head. Flavor has a bitterness quite different than any other I've had. Orange and citrus taste primarily. My palate is more developed now than my first tasting of this. But I can't see this as a leader of the pack Belgian. This is one of those beers that takes a while for some people to appreciate. I am one of those people. Its a good beer but not a great one. |

110 | Affligem Dubbel | Belgium | Abbey Dubbel | 4.5
Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9 This is an excellent Abbey Dubbel and may even my best yet. Aroma is chocolate and caramel. Appearance looks about like every other Dubbel Ive had, brownish/red. Flavor is chocolate, caramel, apples, oranges, complex for this style! The balance is perfect as the malt does not dominate. Palate is smooth with no evidence of the 7%. Overall its simple and to the point, no frills, but excellent all the same. |

111 | Westmalle Tripel | Belgium | Abbey Tripel | 3.7
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 Pours a cloudy yellow with a fair amount of carbonation. Some lemon and grapefruit present in the nose. A rather sour flavor with a big citrus flava mainly lemons and oranges and a bit of spice. The alcohol shows through but not too much considering the ABV. All hail the trappist monks! |

112 | Corsendonk Pater (Abbey Brown Ale) | Belgium | Abbey Dubbel | 4.0
Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8 Dark brown color similar to a brown ale. Excellent belgain. Very malty flavor but enough hops are present. This is a beer I have been overlooking for a while but Im glad I finally gave it a try. Not as complex as many, but certainly as good |

113 | Delirium Tremens | Belgium | Belgian Strong Ale | 2.9
Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6 Aroma is of pears and oranges. Pours with a large bubbly head. Flavor is spicy with some citrus fruit, mainly banana, and a slight alcohol burn. I don't enjoy these belgian blonde ales very much. Overall its ok but I prefer the Nocturnum from these guys much better. This is a so-so belgian brewery with many others at the same cost that offer so much more. |

114 | La Chouffe | Belgium | Belgian Strong Ale | 4.5
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 9 This is my favorite Belgian blonde ale to date. A nice citrusy aroma and a smooth creamy citrus flavor of pears, peaches, and oranges. Hides the alcohol very well. An excellent beer. Rerate - This is even better than I previously thought, a hidden gem, I dont usually like belgian stong ales of the blonde variety but this is amazing. I want to try this with a rich chocolate dessert. WOW! |

121 | Sterkens St. Sebastiaan Dark | Belgium | Belgian Strong Ale | 4.2
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9 Nuts and dark fruit in the nose. Appearance is brown with a nice head. For a low ABV belgian this has loads of flavor. Grapes, nutmeg, caramel, chocolate, spices, and something slightly sour I cant seem to put a finger on. It's a bit on the carbonated side but that's the only flaw I can find in this beer. Another great beer from Sterkens! |

122 | La Caracole Nostradamus | Belgium | Belgian Strong Ale | 4.0
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8 A dark red appearance with a large beige head. The aroma is rather mild with some pears and caramel. The flavor is quite fruity with some hints of the alcohol and raspberries. Large yeasty overtones and it has a lambic tyle quality to it. This one is quite complex and tasty. Nostradamus predicts a high rating from Clash, once again he is right! |

123 | Rochefort Trappistes 6 | Belgium | Abbey Dubbel | 4.3
Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8 Well another Rochefort. The 10 is close to perfect, the 8 was boring but ok, now onto the 6. Well this one is brown in apperance with a moderate head. The aroma is caramel and brown sugar. The flavor is a bit light but very well balanced and flavorful. Some dark fruit and caramel with a backbone of some apricots? Ive had more flavorful dubbels but not many as well crafted as this. |

124 | Val-Dieu Triple | Belgium | Abbey Tripel | 3.5
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 A murky yellow appearance with a moderate white head and some good lacing. The aroma is lemon, spices, and pears. The flavor is a bit on the sour side with a some lemon and apricots. It has a rather soft mouthfeel and a citrusy aftertaste. Quite a nice Tripel here. |

125 | Pax Pils | Belgium | Lager | 1.8
Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 Anyway this is pretty dull if you ask me. And since you are reading this I guess you did! Well I can read the text on the monitor through the beer so there goes the apperance points. I smell corn and grass. The flavor is just there. No real saaz hop presence I like in a pils. Very little malt but I catch some adjuncts. Stella is a better choice for a Belgian lager sadly enough. Might as well get some Miller Lite!!! This one is quite forgettable. |
