Brasserie D'Orval - Trappist Ale


Orval Trappist Ale is brewed by monks for people who are filled with sin. Not that monks are without sin, but it is of a much lower caliber. My sin could kick a monk's sin's ass any day of the week. In any case, I expected a lot more out of this beer. The head and nose leave much to be desired (first impressions are a bitch) but the body is quite good. I guess I was just expecting more from the holiest people on earth. The carbonation is excessive so it needs to breathe for a while before it can be consumed. Other than that, this is an okay Belgian. I would pass on this one and pick up something with bigger balls. It is a good beer, don't get me wrong, but when I shell out the big bucks for Belgian beers I want my socks knocked off. God himself would be disappointed but he is a hard man to please. 3 out of 5. Don't drink it.

I like my company to be similar to myself

Needing bigger balls? Don't doubt it.

Speaking of balls, how is beer pong?
