Abbey beers

As the designation " bière d'Abbaye" ( abbey beer) has always been synonymous with quality and tradition, many breweries have used it. In fact these beers are not brewed by monks. Some even carry the names of abbey which have never existed. The term abbey may indicate that the beer is brewed in the way used by monks, that there is an abbey nearby or, simply, that there is a monk on the label. These beers have no specific characteristics. In the last few years, a new category of Abbey beers has appeared. These are beers produced by a private brewery, installed within the confines of a abbey deserted by the original occupants in the past ( Abbaye des Rocs, Val Dieu, Abbaye d'Aulne...)

Augustijn Grand Cru 9°-1/3L
In Stock
Brewed by Van Steenberge brewery and delivered worldwide, the Augustijn Grand Cru is one of the best hidden secrets of the Van Steenberge Brewery. This Triple version of the Augustijn Blonde has more complex taste qualities and contains more degrees of alcohol than her blonde sister.
The Augustijn Grand Cru present has an amber and cloudy body head topped with a consistent foam head that slowly falls along the walls. In the nose, the aroma of this Belgian beer is very sweet with hints of spices, citrus and yeast.
The taste is too soft at the beginning and marries a mixture of spices evoking coriander. In the middle, the alcohol starts to tingle your tongue to remember its actually in the beer. The spicy aspect is then replaced by a hoppy bitterness and ends with some persistence.

Few other double beers reach the level of Bornem Double. This brown lager is often served with meat dishes such as steaks, grilled meat, game animal or even sausages.

Abdij Averbode 7.5° - 1/3L
In Stock
Brewed at the Huyghe brewery, and delivered worldwide, The beer of the Averbode Abbey is a golden multigrain lager - with barley malt, oats, spelt and contains 7.5% of alcohol, made with a technique consisting of adding cold hops during the custody process to strengthen the fruity character. This recognized Belgian abbey beer is also fermented in the bottle. The result is a beer with a fruity nose, a sweet and subtle hop aroma with a fresh aftertaste, powerful and bitter.
The 'new' beer of the Averbode Abbey is a tribute and a revaluation of history. The beer business of the Abbey, going back to the 14th century, continued until the early 20th century and produced different beers i.e. Camerbeer and Cleynbeer.

Westvleteren Extra 8°-1/3L
In Stock
This Trappist beer, brewed at the Sint-Sixtus Abbey is delivered worldwide.It pours very dark brown with big off-white head. Settles as 3 cm thick blanker of fluffy foam. Substantial lacing. Aroma is a little subdued due to the massive amount of foam. But it gets stronger as the beer warms up. Aroma is sweetish with caramel, sugar, lightly roasted malts, humid cellar and damp old newspapers. Medium carbonation. Medium thick texture. Flavor is (only) medium sweet. Followed by a quite strong bitterness with an acidic hint. Aftertaste is bitter. Lingering. Always hard to form an opinion on such a celebrity beer.

Achel Blond 8° - 33cl
In Stock
Achel Blonde is one of the few Trappist beers in the world and is brewed in the monastery of Notre-Dame of Saint-Benoît in Belgium. In order to get the name “trappist”, the beer must be brewed within an abbey under the supervision of the monastic community with a Cistercian tradition. These days it is difficult to meet all of these demands. 
Compared to other trappist beers, the taste of the blonde Achel is more simple and has less temperament but is still fully appreciated.
In the mouth, the first taste is pleasant with a sweet hint of bitterness. The aroma perception in the mouth is long and solid and the aftertaste is not too dry. The whole taste is dominated by the malty sweetness.
