of ? barrels. It won’t be available on draft much longer, but might be in the bottle. Lovely stuff, a bit drier than Orval if you know that one. I also sampled the Cuvee de Konick and Maredsous 10. The Maredous 10 was winey,...

Over the weekend, Bellanotte opened at Block E. I walked in yesterday, and walked out WITHOUT ordering a $7.70 bottle of Stella Artois, or a $9 tiny bottle of Orval, or their average $10-$12 glass of wine. I was so unamused by...

I really like the flavor of brett when it’s done well. What I liked about this was it was subtle and restrained, with the fruits and herbs presented in an understated way. It reminded me of Orval, in a way.

If I had to pick one, I’d go with Orval. Second would be Rochefort 6.

Jim’s right — he’d want you to be drinking the first good beer you’d ever had. But if it were MJ himself doing the drinking, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion it’d be Orval...

visitor-friendly. In September I took a lovely roadtrip through the Ardennes and then up to West Flanders and enjoyed visiting Chimay, Orval, Maredsous, and St Bernardus (loading up the car with ale, cheese, and Ardennes ham along...

It’s always interesting to hear what Belgian beers others like. Personally, I prefer the Chimay double over the grande reserve (isn’t that the triple?). And I never really got into Duval, but I could die for an Orval....

Recently ate here with my husband after reading about it in Gambit Weekly. We’d always had it on our ‘to eat’ list - so we ventured over to the West Bank. First of all, they have an impressive selection of...

. These beers improve in flavor at warmer serving temperatures. Right out of the fridge they won’t be showing much of their flavor. Most of the trappist ales follow this pattern, though there’s one, Orval, whose beer...

I am new to Belgian, Belgian style and better American microbrews. After some research I have a list of brews to try but so many of these fine brews are in large (for one person) bottles! I did try Orval Trapist Ale tonight for...

hi all- where can I find a selection of specialized beer glassware (Orval, duvel, various german glass shapes)? thanks in advance. ps I’ve seen a nice selection at New City Beer Distributors on Chrystie but was wondering if...

I would of course suggest some nice Belgian beers such as Chimay Triple, Duvel, Orval or perhaps some nice Belgian-style American beers like the offerings from Southampton Publik House in Long Island, Dog Fish Head in Delaware or...

of superb Argentinian syrah, but the excellent sangria is probably more appropriate with this food. There’s also an odd but good range of bottled beers (red tail, Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout, Orval, Lindemann’s...). As I...

I guess I’m supposed to provide a list of beers opened, but I didn’t write it down so I’ll do my best from memory. - Rogue Imperial Pilsner - Orval - Duvel - Lagunitas IPA - Delirium - Chimay (red and blue) -...

and nja, led us through a series of 3 beer flights (containing about 4 different beers per flight) in a progression from the lighter, drier beers such as Orval and Hoegarrden, and progressing through to the richly flavored...
