I do love the Ommegang Abby Ale (the dark one). I haven't had it in a while, but it is great.

Some time ago, my wife and I held a blind taste test for a few friends with the Ommegang, Chimay Grand Reserve (the blue label), and Affligem Dubbel (another dark belgian abby style). All three are pretty similar, with the Ommegang being a bit sweeter than the other two. The winner was the Chimay, of course. If the Ommegang is on sale, or significantly cheaper than Chimay, I get it. If it's close to the same price as the Chimay, though, I figure you might as well live it up. Can't drink that much of the stuff, anyway.

I love the Belgian beer. But it's not an every day thing for me. That's Spaten Optimator!

This is it for me bitches. I just can't do the Sammie's. I try. But it is too bitter.

I like wheat beers from Germany and Austria am liebsten. Aber wenn's muss....

...Austria am liebsten. Aber wenn's muss....

Allright, enough with the sexy talk.:D

As for dark and ale--I was sucking on PBR's whilst mowing today. Have to balance things out with some FLAVOR.

70-odd easy miles with BBQ in the middle tomorrow. Mebbe I'll pack a brew.

[agilismerlin]

One of the best Belgians I've ever had. De Ranke XX Bitter.

[doofus]

there are two more or less so-so Tennant's lagers that have been in my fridge for six weeks. i'm trying to get back down to 160, so they're yours if you stop by the house.

I'm in your state right now. Columbia, SC to be exact. 'til noon tomorrow. But I'm done drinking already.

Doof, here's hoping we can ride together sometime. Trade bikes (Doof and I ride the same size) and have a grand 4 hour ride.
