http://thankheavenforbeer.com/2009/12/05/orval-review/ We love beer, we thank heaven. Begrudgingly, we admit we are not the authority on all things "beer," but we know our fair share. Enjoy the good brew with us; correct us where we're wrong.

I appreciate it being an authentic Trappist ale, but I remember it being forgettable (if that's possible). Anywho, it's a nice beer, but not as engaging as a Rochfort or even a Chimay.

Personally, I find the lack of candy sugar tones a nice change of pace. I’ve always found the flavor earthy and woody, too. Personally, I find the lack of candy sugar tones a nice change of pace.
