Episode 60 - Belgian Dark Strong Ale

In Episode 60 we dive into the Trappist Dark Strong Ale with style guidelines as well as a tasting note segment with one of the commercial examples.  We also talk about an Advent Beer Calendar box you can purchase in our Check it Out segment.   We encourage you to participate in our listener tasting notes segment by picking up a bottle of the Belgian Chimay Bleue (Grande Reserve)  and tasting along with us.
