Orval, one of the seven Trappist (made or supervised by monks) brews from Belgium, is a bit of a curiosity. The first couple of times that I had it I thought that it wasn't very good. It is dark, 8%, a bit hoppy and not especia;ly sweet. After drinking it you get a tingling in your stomach similar to drinking Puer tea--kind of warm. The taste is complex and not easy to compare to other beers. Still, in Europe it is highly regarded, and I heard quite a few Europeans mention it as their favorite beer. Go figure...try it yourself and tell me what you think. The jury is still out.
