World’s Top Beers 3) Duvel 2) Maredsous 8 1) Olde English 800 This beer is so underrated!!! Tried some more "highly rated" on this site, comments below Exhibit A: Rochefort - coca cola syrup, way too sweet and rich. Soft mouthfeel?? One for the ladies. Exhibit B: Westmalle - nothing special, still too sweet Exhibit C: Orval - horse ass, but kinda refreshing after senses have dulled Exhibit D: Chimay - Dr. Pepper Exhibit E: Imperial stouts - more expensive than Starbucks

My "standard" beer. It has a most excellently deep flavor with spritzes of caramel and lots of spices. I sometimes hold this beer up to a light before drinking just to enjoy the dark reds and huge head. Real quality here, and it’s inexpensive enough to get a 4-pack to go with my week’s dinners. Until something better comes along, this is my favorite!

Poured dark with a good sized head. Rich and full of flavor; mostly plums and raisins. Great beer, but a little to much carbonation. Expect for that one minor flaw it would be with the other elite Belgium beers.

Poured an unfiltered copper with monstrous head. This brew is full flavored and rich, but it has a slight sourness and some carbination which separated it from the upper-echelon Belgian strongs. Still, it has that something that gives the taste of dates and raisins. Very good beer.

0.33 l bottle. Dark mahagony color with creamy head. Nice mix of coffee and spicy belgian yeast in the aroma. Dry roasty coffeish flavor with clove, pepper and woody spices. Very fizzy carbonation.

330ml bottle. Reddish-brown colour with a big off-white head. Aroma of yeast, plums, and demerara sugar. The flavour was sweet, with plenty of dried fruit and a hoppy finish. Very enjoyable.
