Orval Trappist Ale
I tried this at a friend's house in Versailles France. He had brought it fresh from Belgium....What a difference freshness makes. The head was impressive if not excessive. A very nice off brown color. The aroma was warming with a nice balance without too much of any one smell. If anything I'd say it is on the malty side. The flavors match the aroma profile. Very pleasant; high level of alcohol warmth. A touch of candy sugar sweetness. Great body; relatively low carbonation.
