Just had a go at the Sierra Nevada autumn brown ale.
Very smooth and malty, even a bit smokey.

More please.

41 pages of beer talk with only four posts containing the keyword Belgian. Poor form.

Not the fake stuff, I meant the real deal:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trappist_beer

For the beers, these criteria are the following:

• The beer must be brewed within the walls of a Trappist monastery, either by the monks themselves or under their supervision.
• The brewery must be of secondary importance within the monastery and it should witness to the business practices proper to a monastic way of life
• The brewery is not intended to be a profit-making venture. The income covers the living expenses of the monks and the maintenance of the buildings and grounds. Whatever remains is donated to charity for social work and to help persons in need.
• Trappist breweries are constantly monitored to assure the irreproachable quality of their beers.

We have Trappist beers too, don't worry.

Badlands Brewery IPA. Very refreshing, though not as bitter as I expected. Worth hunting out if you're after something come BBQ season.

2nd beer for the night, Red Duck Hoppy Amber. Interesting drink, clean bitter finish, but with a good hint of sweetness. Good amber.

Vale Ale IPA, very good IPA Get into it.

I'm honestly yet to find a Vale beer I like...

Erdinger Oktoberfestbier....very nice

 

[Joker's Wild]

I like the Vale Pale but the Dry is absolute rubbish

Endeavour Amber Ale 2011. Still tastes like a Dark Ale.

Gauloise Amber Ale. Belgian beer, light amber style. The guys from Endeavour could learn a thing or two trying this one.

Old Tom's Chocolate Stout. A guilty treat, bloody good drink.

Got a bottle of the sierra nevada sitting there to drink

Southern harvest or the autumn ale?

Their pale ale isn't too shabby either.

 

[dogslife]

The pale ale is a tasty drop. Also tried the torpedo IPA, but did not enjoy

 

[Joker's Wild]

Had some of Matilda Bays Alpha Pale the other day. Twas nice but I found it had a bitter end which Im not to fond of in a pale. Prefer the Yak
