Description
The beer of Val Dieu is synonymous of quality and authenticity. It is the only Belgian abbey beer to be 100% brewed in a living abbey such as the famous Belgian Trappist beers. The monks of the Abbey of Val Dieu are the ones who are at the origin of the beers which are brewed today on the site. Historically, the Cistercian monks were famous for their qualities as brewers. The monks of Val Dieu are in line with this reputation.

Fine lente bock. Comparable in my opinion to Alfa and Hertog Jan, this bock agreed to my expectations. But 'spring bocks' will never be my personal favorites i guess.

Bottled. Dark brown color, medium head. Aroma is malty and fruity, some chocolat, hint of raisin. Malty taste, again some chocolat, yeast. Quite typical belgian strong ale, but with a decent balance.

Pale color with a nice head. The typical triple flavor like a HJ Triple or the superior Karmeliet Triple is absent. It's comparable to the Chimay Triple i guess. Good palate though.
