Giving Beer Equal Time

While this blog normally focuses on wines (check the page name...), we've recently expanded our beer list to include some offerings that deserve attention. Let's face it - some people don't like wine, others just love beer, and some choose one or the other based upon what they're eating. So we've added a selection of "Dinner Ales" from around the world. Most are in 750 ml bottles that are bottle-conditioned and corked. Our selection offers a wide range of flavor and aroma profiles, with higher alcohol levels, some close to wine.

Our current "Dinner Ale" list, from darkest to lightest, is as follows:

• Allagash "Black" (Portland, Maine): A Belgian-style stout; creamy mouth feel with roasted coffee and chocolate notes; 7.5% ABV
• Koningshoeven "La Trappe Quadrupel" (Tilburg, Netherlands): A full-bodied, dark brown Trappist ale; sweet malt, fruit, spice and oak aging; 10.0% ABV
• Het Anker "Gouden Carolus Classic" (Mechelen, Belgium): Ruby red in color; rich and creamy with aromas and flavors of caramel, molasses, maple and raisins; 8.5% ABV
• Duvel Moortgat "Maredsous Blonde" (Puurs, Belgium): A blonde abbey ale; fruity with a dry, gently-hopped finish; 6.0% ABV
• De Ranke "Bitter XX" (Wevelgem, Belgium): A blonde ale; world-famous for its award-winning hoppiness and flavor; 6.2% ABV
• D'Achouffe "Houblon Dobbelen IPA Tripel" (Achouffe, Belgium): A blonde ale; somewhere between a nice Belgian tripel and a classic IPA; wonderful aroma with nice body; 9.0% ABV
• Dupont "Foret" (Tourpes, Belgium): The organic version of world-famous Saison Dupont; earthy, aromatic and full-flavored, yet refreshing; 7.5% ABV
• Ommegang "Hennepin" (Cooperstown, NY): A saison farmhouse ale; refreshing, bright and lively with gingersnap and citrus flavors; 7.7% ABV
