    My first thought was “Dayum! SIX in one session?????” Kudos to you that you made it to the end, it’s quite a feat. Belgian beers that aren’t pilseners are strong. I’ve lost count of the non-Belgians I’ve met or organised an outing for who’ve buckled at less. It’s not just the ABV (alcohol by volume) but how you drink them and if you do so on an empty stomach.
    I’m a Belgian and I’ve also lost count of how many non-Belgians are surprised that a skinny woman like me can happily down several high-ABV beers without batting an eyelid and without displaying any effects. The trick is to lay a foundation by eating something, and to drink it slowly.
    A bit of advice for future tastings:
    1) get a glass for each beer you plan on tasting
    2) get a glass of water and some bread to cleanse your palate between tastings
    3) take your time
    4) pour at least 3 beers, preferably all of them and then go from one to the other
    5) you don’t need to pour the full bottle
    About the art of pouring:
    1) make sure there is no trace of grease on the glasses
    2) always pour in a WET glass (rinsed in cold water)
    3) tilt the glass as much as possible during the pour, righting it only when you want to create the head (the foam). That’s just a smidge more than the thickness of the head you want. When you do, right your glass and pour a bit more aggressively. Perfect head every time regardless of the beer.
    Edit: so happy you like Belgian beers! The bitterness comes largely from the hops. The colour is mostly from the malt, from caramelised sugars. So if you don’t really care for bitterness, don’t go by colour. Belgian beers are known for being very smooth and balanced. Balance of flavours is the trick for a beer being pleasant (for any alcoholic beverage, for that matter). You need a balance between bitterness, acidity and sweetness. Some will include alcohol in that because let’s face it, alcohol IS a flavour. One of the flavours needs to he dominant and the others need to carry that flavour and round it out. I’m not a beer brewer but for over 30 years I’ve been making my own meads, ciders and fruit wines. The same concept applies. Because Belgian beers are so smooth and balanced with next to no alcohol burn, they’re known to be so treacherous. They go down easily and then the alcohol hits you. I hope you didn’t get too bad of a hangover because man… you had a lot when you filmed this tasting.

      @dj_genrefluid Рік тому +4

      wanted to add an extra tip to your 'about the art of pouring' :
      you want to pour slow enough so that there's a constant flow of air goin' back in the bottle and it doesn't go like gluckgluckgluck (this prevents getting too much foam at the start of pouring)

      @@simeonemascarpone But some beers have a lot of foam, while pouring with the same speed and the same angle. And if you had at least four of them, it is not that easy to limit the foam. A dry glass is good for tasting, but if you have 'no limit' (being at home before going to sleep) it is better to rinse your glass in between. At some moment you can't control the foam anymore.

      It has to be said if you can do that you’ll fit in nicely with the locals. As to the putting the beer in the glass: start at a +_45 degree angle and pore on the side of the glass. don’t go to fast. Once you have about 2 fingers of collar, hold the glass straighter and pore more to the middle of the glass. You’ll get the hang of it.

    For your information, in the bottom of the bottle of a Belgian beer you have yeast beer, who are very beneficial of the intestinal transit. So it is not true to say that you can be seek if you drink it. This is the otherwise. And more over it gave you an additional interesting taste. For the Orval we usually drink it not cold but at a normal temperature. A friend from Belgium.

    Well done, Charlie! I used to work in a brewery just outside Amsterdam (for connoisseurs: De 7 Deugden). The pay was lousy but the beer was free. Sometimes we had to taste a new brew on Monday morning. As part of the job. 😊 We had some really good special beers but you made a great choice: any beer can come only second to the Belgian beers. A friend of mine lives in Roeselare, near the famous Belgian brewery of Rodenbach. He takes me to his local bar and out of politeness he and his friends speak Flemish/Dutch. After a few beers they switch to their local accent and I'm left clueless. But can't be bothered after a couple of them local bad boys from their local brewery. 🥳🤪 When you come to live in the Netherlands, I'll take you down there. But not by car.

    Westmalle Tripel is quite bitter and that's due to the hop. Bitter drinks is an acquired taste so it takes a few to convince the lizard brain that the bitter taste is not bad/off/poisonous. It is one of my favorites.

    fear last ones your taste pallets were numb already from the alcohol. Nice video as always. Hope the hangover was not too bad. :-) Take care - Looked up info for you on the Westmalle website about the tripel and translate it for you: The Tripel van Westmalle is a clear, golden yellow Trappist beer of 9.5°. The slow brewing process and secondary fermentation in the bottle yield a complex beer, with a fruity aroma of ripe banana and a nice, nuanced hop nose. The soft and creamy taste, with a bitter touch carried by the fruit aroma, has a lot of finesse and elegance. Enjoy the wonderfully long and dry aftertaste.

      And don't forget the beerstyle "Vlaams Oud Bruin" (Flamish old Brown) or "Vlaams rood-bruin" (Flamish red-brown), mostly brewed in the western part of Belgium. Some of them are barrel aged and the result is a balanced "sour" with some sweetness, very suitable for food pairing.

    Rochefort is pronounced as "rosh four". Also heavy Belgian beers always contain yeast in the bottle (not always that much), because the fermentation continues after it's bottled. It's perfectly fine to drink, you won't get sick of it lol. It might be bit bitter if you drink a high concentration of it.

    Great how you manage these pretty heavy beers so well. As a Dutchman, I certainly enjoy a beer, especially a Belgian one. The dubbels and tripels are quite strong, but definitely worth it. Awesome that you captured this in a UA-cam video. If you ever come to Europe, you’re welcome to visit Ghent in Belgium where you’ll definitely enjoy the delicious Belgian beer. But, of course, all of Europe has its own unique and interesting beers. I hope that if you come, there's still something left of the beautiful Europe that is now being attacked from the east by a mafia boss and a sick regime. But rest assured... the beers remain worth it. Welcome to beautiful Europe.

    hey Charlie congratz on your video. Your pouring skills get better after each beer ;-) You should pare these beers with their cheese. Each of these monastaries also make good cheese that goes well alongside the beer. The yeast in the bottle is actually very healty (lots of vitamine B) but can work a little on your intestines. With some beers like Hopus you ll get the yeastie part served in a shotglass aside your beer. my favorites among those 6 are the Chimay blue and the Orval. we went for a few years on holiday in the Chimay area and had a little café where we came regulary. it was run by two old very friendly sisters and one of them always said after you ordered a few blue Chimays and started to mumble more "Oui , C' est dur le blue" "yes it's heavy the blue" On the dubble and triple The dubble is darker because it has carmilised sugar in the malt And the tripple is more blond of color and has more carbonic acid (bubbles) in it. The Hoegaarden you revere to is a wheatbeer with some citrus and coriander.

  • @cesardive730
    @cesardive730 7 місяців тому +1

    Well done man!
    Orval is my absolute favourite beer and I still struggle to pour it right, especially if I don’t have the right glass 😅 Many Belgians will tell you that drinking a beer with the wrong glass is evil and changes the taste… As a Belgian, I am definitely a bit picky with my glasses 🤓
    Btw, yes, Chimay is a Walloon beer (from the French-speaking part), and so are Orval and Rochefort… Westmalle is Flemish (Dutch-speaking part). Belgium can sometimes be very divided between the different language communities, but something we definitely have in common is beer! Amazing ones on all sides… 😂

    And im at the end of the clipp now you drunk to much for a good tasting of at least the last one. It was fun watching you get drunk though but a bit of advise if you do 6 beers like that do it in 2 days or only drink half a bottle if you really wanna taste the last one. I have to say i'm impressed by how well you handled it know a lot of people including meself at the moment that woudn't even drunk the last one..Salute.

    Belgian beers are definitely among the best in the world, and you had a nice selection here.
    If you are not used to drinking the strong beers, maybe doing six and then drinking the whole bottle, was a bit too much, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
    If you really like these strong beers, there's also an American brewery, called Adroit Theory, which makes some amazing beers. I recently had their Grimdark (12%) and Dia de Los Muertos (13..7%). Both absolutely beautiful beers that I can highly recommend.

    Keep it at a max of 3 beers at one day next time ! Drink some water in between for taste cleaning (rinse and spit).
    I use the Westmalle trippel as a index and compare other triple's to it and rate them according to my taste. Is the trippel more or less tastefull, more or less bitter, more or less sweet, more or less smooth and most important do I like it better or less that the Westmalle Tripel. Double's , blond specials, grand cru, quadrupple's , ipa 's , stout / porter should not be compared to a triple (Tripel), in my opnion.
