One Superbly Dark Belgian Ale.
Is your brain begging for a beacon of a Belgian beer? Have you found a magic place filled with so many Belgian beers that you feel like you might get weak in the knees seeing the exuberating glory of the mighty brew? But, there is that one voice in the back of your head that is asking you which one is the best, which one do you try first? I know for me, it seems more and more I am liking the Belgian beers that have a more dynamic palate, are less yeasty and less foamy. I really appreciate those that have both the heavy malty taste of wood and leather, yet the refined nuances of orchard fruit.
I have found one that holds the crown in refinement and flavor with no compromises. This mighty ale is the Affligem Noel, by Affligem.
The alcohol content (8-10%) is higher than usual for most beers (3-5%), but on par for good triple Belgian ales. It has the combined flavors of the malty Affligem Double and the refined, almost champagne like flavors of the Affligem Tripple. A perfect combination in my book. This is the one to get and always have on hand for that special occasion when a good, make that great, beer is needed.
These are hard to find by the bottle and by the tap, but well worth the effort. Find one and if you finish the entire bottle yourself, don't be surprised to see in double.
