Trappistes Rochefort 6: This is a lovely, harmonious dark belgian. Nothing sharp, loud or outlandish about it… it’s just smooth, mellow, and tasty. Review can be found here.

Trouble Brewing Dark Arts Porter: A lovely porter, with just enough chocolate to catch your attention but not overwhelm the beer. Review can be found here.

Duvel: I’m sure this has been on here at some point, but it’s worth revisiting. One of the classics, and luckily available all over. I don’t have it that often since I try as many beers as I can, but when I do it’s like coming home. Review can be found here.

Brasserie De L’Abbaye Des Rocs Grand Cru: Rarely does one see so much yeast in a bottle. Chunky as it may be, it’s actually a pretty rich and tasty beer. Review can be found here.

Trappistes Rochefort 8: Essential tasting, as it’s one of the legit abbey ales, but not among my favorites… it’s hot with alcohol, though perhaps time in the cellar would temper that. Review can be found here.

Brouwerij Van Steenberge Piraat Ale: This is a pretty strong beer, but there are a lot of lovely belgian yeast flavors that mask it (aside from the warming effect) pretty well, making it tasty and dangerously easy to drink. Review can be found here.

Brooklyn Brewery Bamboozle Ale: A very lively belgian pale, which has a lot of tropical fruity notes and yeasty esters. Diggin’ it. Review can be found here.

Tiger Beer: Cleaner and less skunky than I recall, but perhaps fresher where I had it in Ireland than it is in the US. In any case, it’s not a complex beer, but it is quite refreshing in the right context. Review can be found here.

Southern Oregon Brewing Pin-up Porter: A thick, frothy porter that really focuses on dark chocolate notes. That’s my favorite way for a porter to play out, so I’m totally on board with this one. Review can be found here.
