Belgium Comes to Michigan From the very beginning, Ashley’s has been about enriching peoples lives through great beer. We’re proud to have been an early part of the ongoing success story that is Michigan craft beer. We’ll always support the passionate people of our state’s now more than 100 independent breweries producing fresh, flavorful brews – many of which are recognized as among the best in the country. But we also believe great beer knows no borders. When we traveled to Belgium to survey one of the world’s most intriguing and respected beer cultures, we were awed by what we discovered. Michigan’s brewing revival has taken place largely within the last 20 years. Many of Belgium’s small breweries have been in the same families for generations. We found the exact same spirit of dedication, craftsmanship, and enthusiasm among Belgian’s artisanal brewers that we’ve come to know and expect from their Michigan counterparts. Also like Michigan’s craft brewers, Belgium’s traditional family-owned breweries face an uphill battle against the international mass-production conglomerates which are squeezing them through massive ad budgets rather than better beer. The smaller breweries know they need to reach out to markets outside of Belgium if they are to survive. So the annual Ashley’s Belgian Beer Festival was born to experience the world of Belgian beer. We’ve brought to Michigan a wide range of amazing, boutique Belgian beers. Many are lesser known or were previously unavailable in our state. What you’re not going to see at this Festival are Leffe, Hoegaarden, Palm, Stella, etc. as we want to focus (as we always do) on the craft brewers. This Festival is also pure Belgian beers. Although Michigan and American craft brewers are brewing Belgian-style beers we are going straight to the source. Why have imitations when you can have the real thing?

There are several special events throughout the Festival. We have multiple brewers coming over from Belgium for the festival, if you speak Flemish or French, this is your chance to practice up. We hope you enjoy your time exploring the culture, cuisine, and, of course, the beers of Belgium at this Festival. It already ranks among the largest of its kind anywhere. In fact, we can’t find any place in Belgium with this many of their beers in one place. Please let us know what you like, as well as what you would like us to do better. We’re always looking to improve your Ashley’s experience of good times, good food, and good beer.

Enjoy the FestivalYou are welcome to order any beer from the beer menu during the festival, there is no special purchase required. If you would like to purchase 1/2 glass (12cl) size pours of any draft they are available at special prices.

Beer Meets FoodIn Belgium, beer is incorporated into all aspects of Belgian cuisine. Beer may be included in the preparation of food or simply as a beverage to enhance the flavors of the food. The importance of beer in Belgian cuisine is apparent in many traditional Belgian dishes. In order to provide a broader Belgian beer experience, we have prepared mussels with four different broths, each featuring a different style of Belgian beer. Since the Belgians claim to have invented the chipped fried potatoes that we know commonly as fries, our mussels are served with a side of fries (frites) accompanied with a tomato basil mayo for dipping. A portion of freshly baked baguette is also provided to savor the extra broth.

BRASSERIE DE SILLY Brasserie de Silly, a six generation independent family brewer, is located South West of Brussels in the Hainaut Province of Wallonia. Silly is a little dormant farming village just outside the old city of Enghien, once world famous for its tapestries. Larger farms used to have their own brew-eries up to well into the 20th century. For centuries on the Western side of Wallonia, the large farms of Hainaut were cultivating barley and hops and they all brewed their own beer. Today, the cultivation of hops has disap-peared and the brewing activity became an independent activity. Brasserie, which is the french word for brewery, de Silly is a perfect example of this evolution. The written history of the Brasserie de Silly starts in 1850, when Nicolas Meynsbrughen bought the farm and started to keep records on his brewing activities. On this farm was also the local mill, where all kind of local grown grain was milled. During WWI the brewery painted the copper tuns black to look like wrought iron to hide them from the Germans, who could use this material in their war machine. Right after the war a Scottish regiment of the British army, choose this brewery to brew for the occupying forces. A strong German dry and hoppy characteristic was clearly present in some of the breweries beer, since the Enghien area has been ruled by German nobility for over 500 years. The Scots brought the rich tradition of their own Scottish ales. This combination of three beer cultures, Belgian, German and Scottish, is the reason for the outstanding quality and uniqueness of Silly’s beer. Besides the Double Enghien, and the Scotch de Silly, the brewery brews a few other remarkable beers: La Divine Triple, a Belgian WIT named Titje, a great Saison, and its own lager. The farming activities were stopped around 1950 and all efforts were concentrated on the brewery. In 1973 the brewery changes it name into “Brasserie de Silly,” but keeps the logo of St. Michel, the angel who fights drag-ons. This Saint has his statue in the Church of Silly, and is also depicted on top of the Brussels City-hall. You do not find the picture of the Saint on the cap of the bottle, but the picture of a land worker.In 1975, the brewery of Enghien (say ‘engine’), a town near Silly, was bought by the Brewery de Silly. The brewery of Enghien was famous for its Double Enghien Blonde (Golden) and Brune (Brown). After the acquisition, these two beers are brewed in Silly. Brasserie de Silly brews about 200 times a year for a total of around 35,000 barrels of beer. The malts come from Belgium and from France. The hops comes from Kent (UK) and from Saaz and Hallertau in Germany. Approx-imately, 60% of the production is top-fermenting ales. This puts the Brasserie de Silly with the top Belgian micro-breweries. They brewed the Titje WIT since 1990. Today, Lionel Van Der Haegen and his cousin Bertrand Van Der Haegen, Brewmaster mange all operations of the brewery with help from their Dads, Didier and Frances Van Der Haegen.

Dubuisson, the maker of the Scaldis line of premium Bel-gian beers, has been brewing continuously since 1769—before Belgium was a country and longer than the Trappist breweries. Dubuisson is a shining example of the civic brewer and proud protector of the tradition. Hugues Dubuisson is the eighth- gen-eration family member to direct the business, which is thriving. U.S. sales increased at twice the rate of the dynamic domestic craft beer rate. Both Peche Mel and Scaldis earned Gold medals in World Beer Championships this past year. Prestige has main-tained perfect 100s on RateBeer. Dubuisson is in the hamlet of Pipaix, just outside Tournai and in the heart of French-speaking Wallonia. The province where Scaldis is brewed is called Hainaut. The word means “land of groves” and indeed it is the richest agricultural province in Belgium. Jim Galligan of the Today Show recently published a superb review of Scaldis Prestige de Nuits:“Prestige de Nuits pours a deep amber red with a lovely cream-colored head. The beer we sampled had lots of small dregs floating about the glass, but it had recently been in John’s car, so things were stirred up a bit. This wouldn’t have been an issue if we had let sit for a while before opening, but none of us wanted to wait. Can you blame us?The nose is a bit sneaky on Prestige de Nuits, as it reveals only a small part of the beer’s true character. You get a bit of the Burgundy from the barrel, as well as some cherries, a waft of toffee and hint of alcohol, but it doesn’t really prepare you for the rush of flavors that follow. Take a sip and this beer makes an immediate impression on your palate. The flavor starts off very vinous and slightly sour, evocative of port wine and dark dried fruits. These wine-like characteristics give way to richer notes of chocolate and cherries, with a little oaky vanilla and just a hint of spice dancing in the background. Trust me, your toes will curl in pleasure. As this rich middle recedes, you’re treated to a sweet and dry finish, with flavors of red raspberries and slightly tart grapes. Prestige de Nuits warms your chest as it goes down, but you wouldn’t guess this beer is 13% alcohol by volume, as the booziness is very well masked. A good beer will have a beginning, a middle and an end that all flow in harmony and offer distinct, individual pleasures. A truly special beer will provide an odyssey of flavor, with each part of its taste being a journey onto itself. Prestige de Nuits falls into the latter category – it is a truly remarkable fermented beverage, one to be savored.”Dubuisson is a member of the Belgian Family Brewers The members of the non-profit association are Belgian breweries which have been brewing beer in Belgium for at least 50 years non-stop. Together they represent 15% of Belgian brewers, with a total of more than 3,500 years of experience in traditional beer brewing.

Belgian Beer and

Chocolate Pairing

You may not think that beer and chocolate go together. But Belgian beers do pair well not only with savory foods but also sweets. Their rich malt flavors and very mild hop bitterness compliment sweet desserts and chocolates. For the festival we contracted with Schakolad Chocolate Factory in Ann Arbor to create some exclusive chocolates not only to pair with beer but made with beer. They made a rich ganache center for their truffles with bittersweet chocolate, heavy cream and four different beers. The ganache centers were then covered with either Milk or Dark chocolate. Schakolad was blown away and said they were some of the best chocolates they had ever tasted. They are only available at Ashley’s (while supplies last)

A Brief History of Belgian BeerBeer has been brewed in Belgium since the Middle Ages. Although there is no written proof, it is believed that beer was brewed at monasteries during this time. Today, approximately 125 breweries are in operation in the country of Belgium and they produce roughly 800 standard beers. When including one-off beers, such as those brewed for specific holidays and celebrations, the number increases to nearly 8700.

Belgian beers are unique in that they do not adhere to the idea that water, barley, yeast and hops should be the only ingredients used in the brewing process. In some instances, they also disregard the conventional practice of pitching yeast and allow the wild yeast of Belgium to ferment their beer; the result of this spontaneous fermentation is the “wild” ale. In Belgium, brewing is a family affair. Generations of brewers simultaneously pioneer experimental brewing processes while upholding the traditional brewing practices of Belgian beer.

Some of the most famous beers from Belgian are those of the Trappist monasteries. There are only seven Trappist monasteries in the world, six of which reside in Belgium, the other of which is in the Netherlands. In order to be deemed a Trappist beer, the brewery must be in a monastery, the monks must be involved in the production and policies, and the profits from the sale of the beer may only be used to support the monastery or social programs. The breweries that currently maintain a Trappist certification are Achel, Chimay, Orval, Rochefort, Westmalle, Westvleteren, and La Trappe (previously Koninshoeven, Netherlands). Westvleteren is the only beer that is unavailable for sale in the United States.

Although the monasteries continue to brew their beer following age old traditions, other brewers are engaging in more experimental brews. Due to a growing demand for more than yellow fizzy stuff, brewers look to one another for inspiration. There is evidence of American influence on Belgian beer in those such as Troubadour Magma and Urthel Hop-It, in which a much more liberal use of hops is apparent in the aroma and flavor. These beers, in turn, have led to an increase in the production of Belgian IPA’s in the United States. At the same time, some of the most raved about American Breweries, such as Jolly Pumpkin, The Lost Abbey, and Russian River are brewing ales using the most traditional Belgian-brewing practices.

This menu features a wide variety of beers that originate in Belgium. With over a hundred breweries and thousands of beers, it is nearly impossible to provide a complete education on Belgian beer in one sitting. In order to better appreciate the beer, it is important to have an understanding of what each beer is meant to accomplish. Please refer to this menu, in combination with Ashley’s Beverage Guide to direct you through a tour of Belgian beers.

The Glass and The PourBefore tasting a Belgian beer, it is important to understand what you are seeing and smelling. Often times, the novice beer drinker is put off by the Belgian beer glass. Do not be afraid of the glass; it serves a greater purpose than the ignorant heckling of your friends. As soon as the beer enters the glass, the color, aroma and taste are transformed. Unseen distinctions come to light, colors glisten, and the overall experience of the beer becomes complete. If you were to order a beer in Belgium, when you receive your beer, it would be accompanied by a glass specifically engineered for that beer. In fact, some breweries have been known to design beer to fit the glass, rather than the glass to fit the beer. Unfortunately, Michigan law prohibits the use of glassware with logos when serving beer on-premise, however, Ashley’s does its best to provide a glass similar in shape and size to enhance the Belgian beer experience.

The shape of the glassware also affects the development and retention of the head of the beer, which is important because the foam acts as a net for several of the volatiles in beer. Such aspects include compounds that create aroma, yeast fermentation by-products, spices, fruity esters and additional ingredients. Different levels of head and retention are desired with different styles of beer.

So, rather than regard the Belgian beer glass as an affront to one’s masculinity, resist the temptation to request a “normal” glass, and recognize that the glass is designed to enhance the flavor of the beer. The next time your buddies poke fun at you, use the opportunity to educate them, and know that the glass provides you the ultimate experience of that particular beer.

For Ashley’s Belgian Beer Festival we have obtained special permission to use beer branded glassware (normally not legal in Michigan). This is only valid February 6 - 16. Ashley’s went through a lot of trouble to get this exception, please respect your fellow guests and do not take any glassware home (you could be charged with a liquor violation and fined). Most glasses are either 25cl or 33cl with room for a very ample head (which is important to Belgian Brewers). Enjoy Belgian beers in the proper glassware (when available) and let others do so as

The Styles (Belgian Beer 101)Although some beers may seem to fall into several categories of style, understanding the expectations set for a particular style makes it less of a surprise to the palate. We wish to provide you with a clear idea of some of the most common Belgian beer styles. The following specifications are derived from the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP).

Belgian Blonde AleAppears light to deep gold in color. The flavor is initially smooth with light to moderate Pils malt sweetness, but finishes medium-dry to dry with some smooth alcohol becoming evident in the aftertaste. Medium hop and alcohol bitterness to balance. May be spicy or earthy and has a very soft yeast character. History: A relatively recent development to further appeal to European Pils drinkers.

Belgian DubbelAppears dark amber to copper in color, with an attractive reddish depth of color. The aroma of the beer gives way to the flavor: rich, complex medium to medium-full malty sweetness on the palate, yet finishes moderately dry. Complex malt, ester, alcohol and phenol interplay (flavors of raisin are common, as well as dried fruit flavors, and potentially clove-like spiciness). Balance is toward the malt. History: Originated in monasteries in the Middle Ages and revived in the mid-1800’s.

Belgian TripelAppears deep yellow to deep gold in color. The tripel is a union of spicy, fruity and alcohol flavors that are supported by a soft malt character. Low to moderate phenols are peppery in character. Scent is citrusy, often orange or lemon. Alcohols are soft, spicy, and often a bit sweet and low in intensity. Substantial carbonation and bitterness lends a dry finish with a moderately bitter aftertaste. No diacetyl. History: Originally popularized by the Trappist monastery in Westmalle.

Belgian Golden Strong AleAppears yellow to medium gold in color. Flavor is a combination of fruity, spicy alcohol flavors supported by soft malt character. Scent is reminiscent of pears, oranges or apples. A low to moderate spicy hop character is often present. Bitterness is typically medium to high from a combination of hop bitterness and yeast-produced phenolics. Substantial carbonation and bitterness lends to the dry finish with low bitter aftertaste. No diacytel. History: Originally developed by the Moortgat brewery after World War II as a response to the growing popularity of Pilsner beers.

Belgian Dark Strong AleAppears deep amber to deep coppery-brown in color (dark implies that it is darker than golden). The aroma is indicative of the flavor. Moderately malty and sweet with a variable finish, depending on the interpretation of the style: it may finish dry or sweet, few being slightly bitter. The complex and varried flavors should blend harmoniously. History: Most versions are unique in character reflecting characteristics of individual breweries.

Grand CruGrand Cru is a term that is borrowed from vintners (the wine world) and refers to a special offering, release and/or vintage dated selection. The term was “coined” by Pierre Celis when he labeled his annual release the Celis Grand Cru and in Belgium, it was a stronger version (with additional spicing) of his regular witbier that was only brewed for special celebrations.

Flanders Red AleExpect this beer to be a deep red, burgundy to reddish brown color with average to good head retention. It maintains an intense fruitiness, commonly including plum orange, black cherry or red currant flavors. A mild vanilla and/or chocolate character is often present. Spicy phenols can be present in low amounts for complexity. Sour, acidic character ranged from complementary to intense. An acidic, tannic bitterness is often present in low to moderate amounts and adds a red wine-like character. Diacetyl is perceived only in very minor quantities, if at all, as a complementary flavor. History: The indigenous beer of West Flanders, typified by the products of the Rodenbach brewery, but reflective of earlier brewing traditions. It is aged for up to two years, often in large oaken barrels which contain the resident bacteria necessary to sour the beer.

Flanders Brown Ale/Oud BruinAppears as dark reddish-brown to brown in color. It tends to be malty with fruity complexity and some caramelization character. Fruitiness commonly includes dark fruits such as raisins, plums, figs, dates, and black cherries. A malt character of caramel, toffee, orange or chocolate is also common. Spicy phenols can be present in low amounts for complexity. A slight sourness often becomes more pronounced in well-aged examples, along with some sherry-like character, producing a “sweet-and-sour” profile. The sourness should not have a notable acetic/vinegary character. History: An “old ale” tradition, indigenous to East Flanders, typified by the products of the Liefman Brewery. It was historically brewed as a “provision beer” that would develop some sourness as it aged. It is not aged in oak.

Straight (Unblended) LambicIt will appear pale yellow to deep golden in color, but age tends to darken the beer. Young examples are often noticeably sour and/or lactic, but aging can bring this character more in balance with the malt, wheat and barnyard characteristics. Fruity flavors are simper in young lambics and more complex in older. Served uncarbonated. History: Spontaneously fermented sour ale from the area in and around Brussels stem from a farmhouse brewing tradition that is several centuries old. It is typically not found in bottle form, but may be found on draught in and around Brussels from traditional brewers such as Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen, and Giardin.

GueuzeAppears golden in color. A moderately sour/acidic character is classically in balance with the malt, wheat and barnyard characteristics. A low, complementary sweetness may be present But higher levels are uncharacteristic. While some may be more dominantly sour, balance is the key and denotes a better gueuze. History: See Straight Lambic. Geuze is traditionally produced by blending one, two, and three-year old lambic. “Young” lambic contains fermentable sugars while old lambic has the characteristic “wild” taste of the Senne River Valley. Gueuze is served with carbonation. (Can also be spelled Geuze)

Traditional Fruit LambicAppearance is generally determined by the variety of fruit, although a lighter colored fruit may have little influence on the color. The flavor of the fruit added to the beer should be evident. A sour and acidic character are often present. As it ages, the flavor of the fruit will fade and the flavor of the lambic will dominate. History: See Straight Lambic. Not to be confused with the more recent development of untraditional fruit lambic in which the fruit is added post-fermentation as opposed to the traditional addition of fruit half-way through aging the lambic. The addition of fruit after fermentation gives way to a sweeter drink because the yeast does not ferment the sugars from the fruit. The most common fruit flavors used include framboise (raspberries), kriek (cherries), and druivenlambik (muscat grapes). Overly sweet lambics (Lindemans), may be categorized as Belgian Specialty.

Abbaye de Forest (Silly)* TripleThis beer has a lightly scented aroma, followed by a subtly bitter taste. It leaves a light raisin fruitiness on the tongue and ends with a pleasantly bitter tonic upon swallowing. Belgian Pale Ale. Brasserie de Silly. 6.5% abv. 25cl 7.50 / 12cl 4.00

Achel 8° Blond TrappistDifficult to find, even in Belgium. All our Achel is aged at least one year.

Belgian Blond Ale/Trappist Ale. Achel Monastery. 8% abv. 11.2 oz 14.00

Achel Bruin TrappistPours chestnut brown with a tight beige head. The aroma has brown sugar, toffee, rich earthiness, figs, raisins and a hint of coriander.

Achel Extra TrappistYou will find this a very satisfying beer, with just a little malt sweetness, dried fruit flavors, warm sherry notes, and a brisk balancing backdrop of fresh hop bitterness. 9.5% abv. 750ml 44.00

Alvinne Undressed SourA Flemish old brown ale using Alvinne Brewery’s house yeast: Yeast Morpheus - a yeast culture from nature (Auvergne - France). The yeast was selected, isolated and cultivated by monks until they were able to obtain a desired yeast culture. They named it Morpheus Yeast. This beer is also made from a culture of 2 beer yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus). 11.2oz 9.50

Armand HoppyVery aromatic due to its dry-hopping usage of the American hop “Cascade” where the nose is fruity with grapefruit and citrus and the taste is dominated by well-balanced hop notes. Ufiltered ale, 7% abv. and is slightly hazy. 750ml 11.00

Bavik Pils*The beer displays a round malt trait with a slight buttery touch that remains gentle in the middle, where the spiciness of the hops takes over. 5% abv. 4.00 (pint)

Bink Grand Cru QuadA special reserve from Kerkom. Dark, rich, warming. 13% abv 750ml 26.00

Bink Tripel TripleA beer that is earthy, deep and complex, but light in color and on the palate. It is hopped more than the typical tripel, but not so bitter that it should deter those that are not yet enamored with the hop. Brewery Kerkom. 9% abv. 750 ml 28.00

Blanche de Namur WitFine fruity with a scent of the used spice, coriander and bitter orange. Smooth beer, thirst-quenching but mild, slightly acidulous, powdery consistency on the tongue, not bitter. 4.5%abv 11.2 oz 7.75

?Delirium Noel* Xmas

When the season’s spectrums have changed from a vivid rainbow of flora, fauna and fair weather to a monochrome blanket of snow, slush and frigid temperatures, so must one’s beer. A spicy, crimson brew that completes the Delirium Trilogy, the Noel brings color and zest back to the cold winter months and to your cheeks. An invigoratingly sharp and peppery character, stirring bitterness and a rare, crisp winter freshness of flavor. Brewery Huyghe. 10% abv. 25cl 7.50 / 12cl 4.00

Delirium Tremens* TripleOne of the most well-known beers of Belgium, elected best beer in the world and easily recognized by the pink elephant.

Des Roc Grand Cru QuadA rich, complex fruit aroma of cherries, golden raisins, peaches, and assorted dried fruits, laced with honey and caramel.

Des Roc Triple Imperial* Triple (Abbey)A very dark color. The taste is fascinating, soft with enormous scale of flavors due to the several different types of barley used.

De Ranke Noir de Dottignies DarkA very rich taste, coming from the six different kinds of malt. These malts also give it that rich, dark, nearly black colour and flavours of berry and a hint of chocolate. The royal doses of Challenger and Saaz hops bring the typical balance between sweet and bitter. 9% abv 750ml 23.00

De Ranke Guldenberg Triplebears no resemblance whatsoever to any Tripel you may have sampled, except in color perhaps. It is very hoppy and malty. 8.5% abv 750ml 23.00

DeuS Brut des Flandres Biere du ChampagneDeuS undergoes a lengthy, costly maturation in the Champagne caves of France. The elegant and labor-intensive “methode Champenoise” produces the best sparkling beverages in the world.

Chimay Grand Reserve “Blue Label” Trappist

Infused fruits with thick black skins appear immediately. As it warms up, it brings palate-heated aromas of raw cocoa, vanilla, and new leather. Wonderful texture – think of whipped cream melting furiously from applied heat. Trappist Abbey Ale. Chimay Monestary. 9% abv. 11.2 oz 11.50

Chimay Premiere “Red Label” Trappist Dubbel

Gouden Carolus Classic Dubbel“The Emperor’s Beer” has the warmth of wine and the freshness of beer. A warmly brown color with deep grape undertones, its aroma is slightly sweet and malty.

Gouden Carolus Cuvee van de Keizer Blauw* Quad

Attesting to the innate mystery and intensity of a cellarable beer is this brew’s beautiful ruby brown, almost henna color.

Gulden Draak* Triple (Dark)An exception among Belgian tripels, due to its dark brown color. The second fermentation offers a nice creamy head, a full body, and all of the vitamins of the centuries old brewer’s yeast.

Hanssens Scarenbecca Kriek FruitThe aroma opens up with a barnyard gambit, but this quickly dissipates, allowing complex aromatics of cherries, wood, earth, vanilla, and mold to come through... The finish is long, tart, fruity, and finally drying. An absolute masterpiece. Made with wild Belgian Schaerbeek sour cherries. 6% abv. 375ml oz 42.00

Hercule Stout DarkThe only self-proclaimed “Belgian stout” is named after famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. It has a very distinctive and intoxicating spicy aroma of fresh spruce that suddenly, irresistibly, fills the room when the swing top is released. It is made entirely of malt and hops, with no spices or sugar added. Brasserie Ellezelloise. Russian Imperial Stout. 9%abv. 11.2oz flip-top 13.00

Ichtegem’s Grand Cru* (and bottle) SourA Flemish red ale. This unique style of beer is brewed as two separate beers, that are blended together to form the final product. Similar to the lambic geuze, one beer is brewed to be aged in oak barrels. This beer is aged for two years, where exposure to oxygen, the wood of the barrels, and naturally occuring microflora alter its flavor, making it dry and sharp with an acidic tang. The second half of the equation is a sweet young beer, brewed before blending, that the brewer uses to balance the beer to his specifications. The Ichtegem’s Grand Cru is nutty, malty, and has a subtle dark cherry tang to it that balances it beautifully. 6.5% abv. 11.2oz 7.75 25cl 6.50 / 12cl 3.50

Kapittel Abt QuadAbt is Dutch for “abbot”, the head of the abbey. Refermented in the bottle, only good to drink after a few months aging, which is done at the brewery, and ready to be aged for up to 30 years. As with most Belgian triples, the color tends to be paler, in this case amber, with good head retention. Of course you taste the alcohol, but this is well complemented with a very complex aroma and mouth feel. 10%abv. 11.2oz 7.75

Kapittel Pater SingleConsidered a beer made for guests of the abbey or for everyday consumption. It is refermented, thus keeping it alive and allowing for it to be aged. It tastes of sweet peaches, with a light, bitter finish. Brewery Van Eecke. 6% abv. 11.2oz 7.25

Kasteel Donker* QuadWintery and warm, it pours a deep and rich ruby with a tan head. The toffee aroma quickly reveals robust roasted malt, burnt sugar tastes and rich port wine-esque fruits like apricot and cherry. A thick and silky body divulges exceptional saccharine tastes, mingling with rich notes of Vietnamese chicory coffee, chocolate cake and a bitter hop zing. Brewery Van Honsebrouck. 11% abv. 25cl 7.50 / 12cl 4.00

Kasteel Cuvée du Chateau* DarkAn unequalled beer at the top of the Kasteel beer spectrum. The aroma and flavour of Cuvée du Château are those of an aged Kasteel Donker that had 10 years to evolve in the cellars of the castle. 11% abv. 25cl 9.00 / 12cl 4.75

Kasteel Rouge FruitA marriage of sophisticated Belgian brewing techniques, age old and centuries tested with the unbridles joy of drinking the best cherry pie you’ve ever tasted…in a glass. The nose is of nutty yeasty milk chocolate. The perfect balance of ripe cherry fruits, bready malts and essential zest and spice. Brewery Van Honsebrouck. 8% abv. 11.2 oz 7.75

Klok Dubbel DubbelSoft as velvet, this double with warm dark brown colour and burgundy undertones has a fruity taste and hoppy after taste. With a caramelized aftertaste its creamy, rich and firm foam head crowns it. 8.5% abv 11.2 oz 7.75

Klok Triple TripleRound, malty, not very bitter (hoppy), slightly sweet (depending on age) balanced with fruity hints on the tongue. Lasting taste. 8.5% abv 11.2 oz 7.75

Klokke Roeland* Quad Bright, copper-colored, slightly hazy. The tall white head retains nicely in the wide-mouthed goblet. Plum-like fruit aroma with a big dark candi sugar sweetness behind it and a hint of alcohol with a surprising 11.5% abv. 33cl 8.25 / 12cl 3.75

La Divine Triple* TripleAmber color triple, true unique in complex taste and wooing flavor. Very rich mouth feel. Hoppy notes. 9% abv 25cl 7.50/ 12cl 4.00

Lambrucha SourLambrucha combines hand-selected house Lambics that are a minimum of one year old, and specially brewed organic Belgian kombucha. A lemony sourness greets the palate but is quickly replaced by even more refreshing flavors of pine, mint, rosemary and cedar. 3.5% abv 750 ml 23.00

Lambickx Private Domain SourSpecially selected Lambic from the owner of Vanberg & DeWolf. Aroma of white grapes, sweet apples, fruit, tobacco, honeysuckle and hay. Restrained tartness. Bright, but not acidic, round and soft body, some chardonnay butteriness. Fine astringent finish with hints of quinine. Slightest hint of carbonation. Not quite cask still, but almost! 5.8% abv 750 ml 42.00

Lambickx De Troch SourAroma of sweet grass, smoke, peaches, sour apples all spiked with a background barnyard funk. Big, round acidity in the mouth with notes of lemon, tangerine and grapefruit melting to a rich, sour-sweet finish, balanced by the full presence of tannic and wood notes. Slightest hint of carbonation. 6.8%abv 750ml 42.00

La Rulles Cuvee Meilleurs Voeux* HolidayUses only American west coast hops, and yeast from Orval Trappist brewery. Big hop flavors of citrus and spice compete with dark roasted malt to temper the sweetness of this big bodied beer. No spices are added to the beer, all the flavor comes from the traditional elements of hops, malt, yeast, and dark candy sugar. 7.3% abv 25cl 7.50 / 12cl 4.00 *Draft

La Rulles Grand 10* Saison TripleA hybrid of two Belgian beer styles: triple and Saison. The main flavor derives from the esters of the yeast. Even though it is a strong triple, the alcohol is hidden. 100% Pilsner malt is used along with water from the Rulles forest. Warrior hops are added, and a bit of Simcoe hops. White candi sugar is added during the secondary fermentation. 10% abv 25cl 9.00 / 12cl 4.75

La Troufette Junifer DarkIs great full-flavored Dark Brown brewed with 4 kinds of malts. Not only has it several malts, the brewer includes 4 different kinds of hops originating from Belgium and US. To justify its name, the brewer includes Juniper Berry to the brew which is a very common spice for that particular region and is used to make gin. 7.8% abv 750ml 21.00

La Trouffette B.P.A. HoppyA lighter IPA style, golden in color with a lacey head. The brewer uses 3 different malts and 4 kinds of hops from Germany and the US. They are also using a particular spelt which is a cereal typical for their area. 5.2% abv 750ml 19.00

Leute Bok* Dark (Dopplebock)A dark red heavy high-fermentation beer that undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle or in the cask. It has a very aromatic taste, not too distinctly sweet, yet full and mild in the mouth. 8.2% abv. 33cl 7.75/ 12cl 3.50

Lindemans Cuvee Rene SourAuthentic Oude Gueuze, glowing golden color, cidery, winey palate; reminiscent, perhaps, of bubbly dry vermouth but with a more complex and natural flavor. It’s very dry, appetizing and energizing, but some tasters do find gueuze to be demanding the first time they taste it. 5% abv. 750 25.00

Lindemans Faro* SourA version of Belgium’s “wild-fermented” wheat beer, which is the result of blending lambic of one summer with old lambic and chaptalized with candi sugar. An intriguing balance of wineyness and sweetness. 4.2% abv. 25cl 9.50 / 12cl 4.75 355ml 14.00

Lindemans Pêche FruitThis beer was developed by Lindemans brewery using the straight juice-method. The result is a fruity drink with the background of the rich bouquet of lambic. Sparkling, crisp and refreshing balance of fruit and acid. 4% abv. 355ml 14.00

Lindemans Kriek FruitBouquet of freshly harvested cherries; sparkling, smooth, fruity and refreshing, finishing dry. 3.5% abv 355ml 14.00

Lozen Boer Abt Abbey Ale QuadThe beer is dark and rich, with dark fruit and spicy aromas and flavors. Layers of depth and complexity. 10% abv 750 ml 23.00

Lucifer* BlondPours clear and golden yellow with a lasting and lacing full white head. The aroma of yeast carries into the flavor with slight metallic and spiced accents. 8% 25cl 7.75 12cl 4.00

Lupulus Ale HoppyA Blond Ale with significant amounts of hops particularly coming from Belgium. 8.5% abv 750ml 19.00

Malheur Dark Brut DarkThe bouquet is extremely complex! Sherry, vanilla, wood ... with a coffee flavour as a result of the roasted malt. Its taste is oak dry, so this is a genuine Brut. The ale has been decanted in young American oak that was especially burned for this ale. Its bitterness is nicely balanced with the tannin of the wood and just a sweet zest from the alcohol. It has an unusual cork dry aftertaste. This ale is bottled according to so called “original method”. The yeast is removed from the bottle by turning and disgorging.12% abv 750ml 46.00

Malheur 12 Quada dark brown ale with beautiful and rocky “café latte” light brown foam. The flavour is malty and cereal and might invoke thoughts of fresh cut bread. The taste of Malheur 12° is full, round, with a touch of sweet alcohols, but the ale is still dry and bitter coffee, with touches of nuts, honey and rum from the brown candy sugar. The aftertaste is bitter-sweet, long and warm. 12%abv 11.2oz 8.50

McChouffe* DarkInspired by the potent and rich brews of Scotland, it boasts a complex sweet malt profile, a deep brown body, and notes of hop bitterness. Brasserie D’Achouffe. 8% abv. 25cl 7.50/ 12cl 4.00

Moinette Bruin* DubbelA rare and fine example of a Belgian dry brown ale. Four special malts impart a russet mahogany hue. Bruin is hearty with a fruity touch. The herbal bouquet announces its well-hopped character. It is sweeter and more perfumed than Moinette Blonde. 8.5% abv. 25cl 8.00 / 12cl 4.25

Monk’s Café SourAn ale named for the Monk’s Café in Philedelphia, but originally named: BIOS – Vlaamse Bourgogne. Brewed in the traditional blend of young and old beers, the initial aroma is acidic, reminiscent of vinegar. The initial sour flavor mellows with a fruity finish. Brewery Van Steenberge. 5.5% abv. 6.75
