tially frozen and had some ice taken away. This
process concentrates the alcohol and the spicy
flavors. Richer in flavor and alcohol than the
already strong, regular Aventinus.
Corsendonk Abbey Brown—A fruity Belgian
ale with flavors and aromas of plum, cocoa and
clove. Very drinkable and smooth.
Duvel—The ultimate Belgian Strong Golden
Ale. This beer is light in color and has mild flavors
of malt and spice, but has a big alcohol presence.
A good choice for people wanting to try stronger
beers for the first time.
Hennepin—This is a rustic farmhouse style
Belgian ale that is pale, hoppy and crisp. It comes
in at 7.5 percent alcohol and is brewed by the
folks at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY.
Horn Dog—Flying Dog in Denver makes this
dark, rich beer that is so strong and malty it fits
into a style called "Barleywine." It is dark brown
and has flavors of plum, raisin, figs, alcohol and
currant. Gets smoother after a year or more of age.
Oerbier—A strong Belgian Specialty Ale from
the tiny DeDolle Brewery in Belgium. Oerbier is
brown in color and extremely complex in its fruity,
spicy character.
Old Crustacean—A Barleywine from the
famous Rogue Ales brewery in Oregon. Old Crusty
is an American-style Barleywine that has dark,
rich malt, but is backed by a powerful infusion of
resiny American hops.
Old Rasputin—A roasty, silky, jet-black
Imperial Stout from North Coast Brewing in
California. Imperial Stouts like this one have a
tremendous amount of dark malt that provides a
big mouthfeel and alcohol content. Great with
chocolate or fruit desserts.
Old Stock Ale—Also from North Coast, this is
a vintage dated Barleywine with hints of prune,
leather, hops and chocolate. These beers can age
for years if stored properly.
Ommegang—Another Belgian-style ale from
Cooperstown. Ommegang is 8.5 percent alcohol
and has notes of clove, cinnamon and caramel.
Quelque Chose—A sweet, rich fruit beer that
is loaded with a huge amount of dark cherries and
has almost no carbonation. This elegant ale comes
in at 8 percent and hails from the well-known
Unibroue brewery in Montreal.
Rochefort 10—One of the famous brands of
ales brewed ir T 'ippist monasteries in Belgium.
Rochefort comes in 6, 8 and 10—with the higher
numbers bringing more color, flavor, malt and
alcohol. Rochefort 10 exhibits an incredible
amount of malt and yeast complexity along with
some dark fruit and chocolate/ toffee notes.
Saint Bernardus 12—This ale is from a pri
vate brewery near Watou Belgian and is based on
a Trappist recipe used to make Westvleteren 12
(one of the greatest beers on the planet). This is
very similar to Rochefort 10 (see above), but has
more dark fruit sweetness, and is 11 percent
alcohol. Complex, elegant and decadent!
Saison Dupont—A wheat-based, farmhouse
ale that makes for a refreshing beer to be con
sumed in the warmer months. With its crisp, pep
pery, earthy, spicy character, light color and huge
white head, it is really delicious any time of year.
A must try!
Scaldis—This Belgian Strong Ale is dark gold/
orange in color and has a big alcohol warmth at
12 percent. It is loaded with complex flavors of
vanilla, clove, figs, pepper, malt and hops. Try it
with a slice of caramel cheesecake, and arrange a
designated driver!
Schneider's Wiesen Edel-Weisse—This is a
strong, golden wheat beer that was produced by
the Schneider Brewery in Germany for one of their
anniversaries. It shows off a smooth, yet complex
aroma and flavor of rich wheat, malt and phenols
from the special yeast. This is one of the world's
most delicious German wheat beers.
Trois Pistoles—Unibroue's version of a
Belgian Strong Dark Ale is one of the brewery's
darkest and richest beers. It has a huge tan head
and flavors of burnt chocolate, raisins and toffee.
Unibroue Edition 2004—In contrast to the
Trois Pistoles, this anniversary beer is lighter in
color and has a more elegant, fruity palate. Comes
in at 10.5 percent alcohol by volume.
Westmalle Tripel—This is the great beer that
originated the Trappist Tripel style. Belgian Tripels
are golden in color, but have a strong alcohol con
tent (around 8 percent) and deep layers of flavors
such as pepper, clove, fruit and crisp hops—one
of the world's best beers. In contrast, Westmalle
Dubbel is brown in color with lighter alcohol and
flavors of caramel and dark fruits.
That's about all for now. Take care and
remember to always drink responsibly and support
homebrewing and craft-brewed beers!
