Orval

The start of a half term holiday heralds a chance to really amp up the drinking, and so on a Friday after work it was straight to the post office vaults for an Orval.

Orval is another Trappist beer, brewed by some monks in Belgium. The beer has a very distinctive and lovely skittle shaped bottle and comes in at 6.2%, pretty weak for a Trappist beer. I don't think this is a bad thing as when we are getting up into double figures these beers have a real tendency to kick my ass. The beer itself is very, very nice, it has quite a distinctive flavour and is quite sweet but I really like it.
