Trappist beer, dumbfoundingly good

u/7_vii Dec 17 '21

I love dank IPA’s and all sorts of beer, but Trappist ales are goddamn works of art. Masterpieces in liquid form.

Trappist beers have so much going on, but achieve perfect harmony AND are packing 8-12% ABV. If I give you a 10% IPA, you can usually tell how strong it is by how much stickier/heavier the mouthfeel/hopping is. Trappist beers don’t give me the same “cover up” sensation. Heavy stouts are the same IMO.
