Some information about the Trappist Breweries:
Our Trappist journey begins in Vleteren, Belgium at the St. Sixtus Abbey where we taste the Blond, 8, and the 12 beers of Westvleteren.
Chimay. The brewery produces three ales as well as a patersbier for the monks themselves which is occasionally sold as Chimay Gold; they are known as Trappist beers because they are made in a Trappist monastery. It was the first brewery to use the Trappist Ale designation on its labels.
Orval is the main brand. It is a 6.2% abv beer. It was first made in 1931, and has a complex and unusual flavor and aroma produced by a unique strain of yeast: Brettanomyces lambicus. The beer is light in color, slightly cloudy, and has a large, foamy head. There is a complex aroma of leather, spice, and many other earthy components.
Rochefort: Around fifteen monks live at Rochefort Abbey, where the first brewery was founded in 1595. The water for the beer is drawn from a well inside the monastery walls.Rochefort uses Pilsener and Munich-type malts, and Hallertau and Golding hops
Achel Brewery or Brouwerij der Sint-Benedictusabdij de Achelse Kluis is a Belgian Trappist brewery, and the smallest of the Belgian Trappist breweries. It is located in the Abbey of Saint Benedict in the Belgian municipality of Hamont-Achel. It brews six Trappist beers.
Westmalle Brewery (Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle) is a Trappist brewery in the Westmalle Abbey, Belgium. It produces three beers, designated as Trappist beer by the International Trappist Association. Westmalle Tripel is credited with being the first golden strong pale ale to use the term Tripel

@@clubtcb i agree, but a dutch saying (who knows maybe its belgian too) goes like this: "Over smaak valt niet te twisten". Which is roughly translated into: Disagreeing about taste is useless. Definitely true in beer tasting. About Rochefort, i once was in a Belgian beer café where the waiter shared a twist on the 10. He poured half a shot of ruby port in before the beer, it gives it an even fruitier taste. It's not nessacerily a better version, but does give it a fun twist. Worth a try if you are a fan of the 10. He called it a Rochefort Sportif.

Tips to get the best taste out of Belgian beer: if you are pouring from a bottle, do not pour the whole thing into your glass. Leave out about 1 cm at the bottom of the bottle. The taste without the yeast is simply magnificent. (on the other hand, for German beers especially Weissbier, it is mandatory to pour the yeast portion into your glass coz it has the enhancing effect). Cheers!

I grew up 8km from Westmalle. If you want to taste something really incredible, you should try a local speciality called 'half om half' or 'Trip Trap'. Easily one of the best beer 'cocktails' you'll ever have. It's made by pouring Westmalle Tripel and trapist (dubbel) in a 50/50 ratio in the same glass. If you pour the tripel first, you get the white head of the Tripel and the brown colour of the trapist/dubbel. This way you can see the difference between a Trip Trap and a Trapist. Because you need two bottles to drink it at a bar, you have to have a drinking buddy. To decide who of your friends will be the buddy you shout 'TRIP!' and the first one to reply 'TRAP!' is the chosen one. Schol!

generally, the main reason why I like these beers is how well they mesh with the local cuisine or with a nice local cheeseplate, very good for a small and intimate social gathering. Ofcourse, some of the breweries and abbeys producing beers also have amazing cheeses, like the Chimay brewery, which is a very good combo: a strong, yet mellow Chimay beer combined with the strong and sharp tasting cheese is a delight in itself on any occassion.

I know I'm late to the party, but your analysis is sooo on point! Orval is so unique and so good, it just cannot be anything but number one. Admitted, it's an acquired taste. In some specialized pubs you can even have 6 different kinds of Orval. All the same beer, but 3 different age groups (1, 3 or 5 years old - if I recall correctly) and either refrigerated or cellar temperature. And yeah, Westvleteren is top notch. Mostly, we drink St. Bernardus because it is very close to Westvleteren, and much less expensive ;-) And Westmalle too. It's like a classic tripel. It never disappoints. Kudos!

I am a big fan of the Rochefort 10 as an occasional treat. Especially on colder days I find it super pleasant. The Westmalle Triple is a very close second. I have had the Westvleteren and I liked it quite a bit but you can get the very similar St. Bernardus Abt 12 much cheaper and I kinda prefer that beer above the West Vleteren. Chimay Is just OK. I still have to taste the Orval for some strange reason. I have seen the Achel in the stores near me as well but also haven't tried it.

Interesting comment about the Westvleteren, it build and builds in flavour and then it just stops... I always found that fascinating about that beer, it packs much flavour and then it finishes clean and quite sparkly.. no aftertaste or sickly sweetness that lingers, a bit like a high quality brut Champagne, you get the grapes but then it ends in a silver sheen finish, My favourite is Orval and Westvleteren, and Rochefort 10 is amazing to make rich sauces.

You did ALL of them in one sitting? You beast! ;) Btw, there are lots of beers in Belgium that used to be brewed by monks but have been (semi) sourced out. The dwindling and aging monk populations could no longer pull the workload themselves and had only two options: let other continue their traditions and recipes or stop. These beers are labelled ‘abdijbier’ (abbey beers) and some are certainly on par with trappist beers. I am also mightily impressed that you got this lineup in the US. Some of these are extremely hard to come by even here in Belgium. Especially the Westvleteren.

Certainly not pooring it correctly into the glasses . And I think also not on the correct temperature. Makes a big difference in taste.

Agreed that Lambic with spontaneous fermentation is in a league of its own and is very unique! Kind of sour beers but very pure. I am very keen on the Abbey's beers though! ;-)

Imagine a blend of sour and sweet... now realize it already exists! Classic Flemish sour ales, such as (oud bruin) Vander Ghinste or Ichtegems (grand cru), are just that. Incredible experience. All in all, there is a beer for any preference in Belgium. Cheers mates 🍻

Don't pour the whole bottle; leave a little bit in there. There's a bit of yeast/residue on the bottom that.

You talked about Westvleteren being one of the top contenders, tho i realise it is a realy good beer, I do think nothing compares to Orval (except maybe a geniune 2012 Grand prestige by hertog jan, which is dutch! so it doesnt count!) Orval is so damn tasty and something so different that i would rather have my frige stacked with it compare to my favorite brew style (Im a massive fan of tripels) because the taste is so amazing! Orval literally is what i would say the best beer in the world. for real.
