Pours with a big creamy head. Spicy and roasted malt aromas are very complex, following through on a full-bodied palate and with chewy chewy character and just enough hoppy character to stop this from cloying. An Abbey-style ale on steroids from one of Belgium's greatest artisanal breweries." -Beverage Testing Institute     Chimay Blue Cap (Grand Reserve)   (9% ABV) Style: Belgian Strong Ale Brewery: Chimay (Baileux, Belgium) 99 Percentile -Ratebeer.com 2006 91 Points -Beverage Testing Institute "Bright red-amber. Moderately full-bodied. Moderate bitterness. Pours with a big creamy off-white head. Fruity, floral hop aromas.

Sourdough yeast and Brazil nut aromas follow through to a sweet-tart medium-to full bodied palate with tangy citrus and sweet malt flavors. Finishes with a nice impression of balancing hops. A clean, well-made quaffer." -Beverage Testing Institute     Gulden Draak Dark Triple Style: Belgian Strong Ale Brewery: Brouwerij Van Steenberge (Ertvelde, Belgium) 96 Points -Ratebeer.com 2006 90 Points -Beer Advocate Gulden Draak is a dark brown Triple Ale, which makes it an exception among the Belgian Triples. The second fermentation offers the nice creamy head, the full body and all the vitamins of the centuries old brewers yeast. It is a "thick" beer, that you can actually "eat" to adventure the complex taste. Gulden Draak balances a natural malt toffee-like sweetness with a mellow happiness and some hoppy accents. The aroma is round, sweet and reveals the 10.5 alcohol by volume. -Commercial Description     Het Anker Gouden Carolus   (8% ABV) Style: Belgian Strong Ale Brewery: Browerij Het Anker (Mechelen, Belgium) 97 Percentile -Ratebeer.com 2006 92 Points -Beverage Testing Institute Gold Medal -World Beer Championships 89 Points -Beer Advocate 2006 "Dark copper-red.
