Picked up a Greene King IPA from Archive, definitely hasn't travelled well. Have had it on the hand pump at archive and it is a bloody nice drop!

For a while there were 6 Belgian trappist breweries and one Dutch - the Dutch being La Trappe/ Koeningshoeven.

There was a time when they lost their right to the appellation but they regained it.
There is, as of recent times an 8th trappist brewery in Austria. I've not tried their beers.

I have heard that there is 11 trappist monastery's ; 6 Belgian, 2 Netherlands,1 French,1 German and 1 Austrian . and most probably more ?

have also read that not all are currently brewing inside their monastery though . and the german one is not brewing at all at the moment.
mont des cats , the French one, is brewing their beer at the chimay brewery but have not obtained the ITA (international trappist association)logo yet , and probably won't until they brew it inside their own monastery .

There's loads of trappist monastries, many of whom don't brew at all.

By 7- I mean monastries that have the legal right to use the appelation "Trappist" and include the appropriate logo on their beer.

mont des Cats is apparently not one of them: http://belgianbeerspecialist.blogspot.com.au/2011/06/abbaye-du-mont-des-cats-launches-biere.html

I wish there were more - even the worst of them is still pretty damn good.

La trappe were 'authentic', lost the right to the appelation then regained it so this shit always is subject to change.

How does it compare to s&w pacific ale?

I've seen this at Dans but not bothered after reading the blurb on their website. I like the fact they're in cans though..

IMO..... a better beer than the Pacific Ale.

Pacific ale is very nice, but this has bigger hops and a better mouthfeel.

If they were the same price i would buy this every time hands down.

But at $15 for 4 little cans, its only ever going to be a treat picked up on occasions for me.

I just got a 4 pack of the Pilsner and will try some time this week

Had a biere de miel biologique from dupont last night courtesy of charst.

Big fluffy head, well hidden alcohol and loads of bubblegum. I've had it before but forgot it was that good.

8 with the new Austrian one you mentioned but there you go , mont cats is not one, but probably as good as a ita stamped one .
God bless brewing monks .
I have tried many Belgium abbey beers that I think are as good the 'authentic' trappist ones .

nice like the big eye, should of got a big eye for a side by side .
not wowing me as I was hoping but I am excited to be trying it no the less and it is bloody good, big hoppy aroma , reminds me of a
sn torpedo , full malty hoppy mouth feel with a long lingering hoppy bitterness , it just a very big u.s hop parade , love the fishy label too.

I've spent 20 minutes trying to invert this picture with no luck at all. Its worth it too, it's a freaking cracking beer. For a 10% belgian, its very very smooth. The aroma is sweet honey/soft ethanol, and the flavour is soft alcohol, and subtle dark fruit. It is slightly lighter in colour than Chimay red. Body is light/medium, but i suppose for 10% i'd have to say light, and spot on. Not picking up many phenols, which suits me ( im an ester man ), only slightly in the end. Bloody hell, this is a ******* nice beer. I will be buying more.


This must be the most detailed beer review i've ever done hahah

Had to have another. This is just heaven IMHO, and I'm normally a mild ale drinker. I'm tempted to try to brew one but shit a 10% Belgian is pretty intimidating. Actually, a 7% Belgian is intimidating to brew haha.

I'm sure I'll be finding lots of excuses to go past uncle dans now.

^ such a nice beer. I started buying it from Dans before I got into brewing because it is strong, now I buy it because it's awesome.

I can't drink it. Or anything else Belgian... I think I'm sensitive to higher alcohols and fusels, that's all I can taste when I drink them. Even Belgian Blondes, though I'd love to try a Swedish blonde to compare some day. The German Blonde I sampled for a while was good, though.

Scored a couple of Moritz beers off a guy through work (fellow beer lover)

The standard lager was pretty average, light and bubbly and not a whole heap going on flavour or aroma wise but would make a good summer drink. About 5% so not too crazy but not super light.


This was there "dark" lager, looked like an amber to me but anyway. This was a fair bit stronger, 7% and you could taste a bit of that alcohol. Fairly malty (but flavour was killed by the alcohol taste at the end of the pallet) and raisin/banana on the nose
