New Belgium 1554
This is one of the beers
that came in the New Belgium Folly Pack, and of the four beers in the pack, this one is definitely my favorite. It's a dark, sweet, malt beer, not too heavy, and though it's not a session beer, it's a reasonable 5.6 ABV%, which means if you're having friends over for a barbecue, you can have a couple or three over the course of the evening. Note, by the way that this is a Belgian style ale; it's a bit lighter than a traditional Belgian ale (Try New Belgium's Abbey Ale for a beer that's closer to the Belgian monastic brewing tradition). New Belgium is not kidding when they call it an "Enlightened Black Ale." That's a very good description.
