"My two brothers and I recently returned from a Beer tour in Belgium and, owing in large part to the No. 1 rating on this website as well as the enticing reviews, we made a stop at the Westvleteren Brewery the pinnacle of our journey. It did not disappoint! It is one of the few brews that falls into the category of a life-changing experience. We've chronicled our unique experience at the Abby, drinking in the In De Vrede cafe, and successfully navigating the complicated process of garnering a few cases to bring home on the following blog. Hopefully, it will provide a little help for any other beer-lovers out there who want to get their hands (and taste-buds) on this sacrosanct brew! Check it out at:

"Finally! I've had this beer for two years as a gift from Dansting. Poured from a bottle and with a nice off white head that hung out throughout the drink. Appears to have some floaties in it. The aroma was rasin/plum with a touch of alcohol at the end. The taste has a buttery rasin flavor but I think the carbonation has kept this light feeling to some degree. The alcohol comes through at the end. This beer is good but personally don't see what the hype is all about, but I am very glad I had the chance to have one. "

"I finally got this one... simply stellar in every sense of the word. I was afraid I was going to be disappointed by all the hub-bub about Westvleteren, but was not. A nice beige head and aromas and flavors of various fruits... a joy to drink."
