Hi Matt, yep – Tom and I had a few too many at that point. You’ll see in the comments a while back Tom says “But I also referred to the monks as Benedictines, which isn’t quite accurate. They’re Trappist Cistercians, but they do follow the Rule of Benedict. More a theological than a beer error” – you guys are on the ball… Cheers to you both!

Interesting clip and I’m glad to see that the Trappist ales are getting some exposure. I don’t understand, however, the references to the Benedictines, especially “Benedictine monks in these Trappist monasteries.” The Benedictines belong to a different order entirely, although the Cistercians and Trappists follow the same monastic rule as the Benedictines.

I was wondering if you’ve been to the Koningshoeven brewery as well?

Great video. Very informative. Makes me want to re-try all of the Trappists!

Thanks for the comment over on St. Bernardus Abt 12 review, really enjoyed your Trappist tasting above. Keep it up, you’ve got a new fan!

Very informative! With all the focus on big, imperial American craft beers, it seems many of the traditional Belgian Trappist beers still remain somewhat of a mystery to us Americans.

People don’t know much about them and rarely recognize them (except maybe Chimay), so it’s great to watch a lesson from someone who’s been over there.

Great job!

Great guys thanks. I have been ignorant of Trappist ales and this inspired me to try them. Recommend watching the dated but informative youtube vid with Father Theadore. Bought all 3 Chimay’s and also Westmalle Dubbel and Tripel from a place in Chelmsford MA. These were the only 2 with “Authentic Trappist Product” on the back. Unfortunately the store did not have Chimay goblets so we used the widest mouth glassware we had. We worked our way through 11 ounce Chimay red, blonde, and blue, Westmalle Tripel and Dubbel. We bit off way more than we could chew, but regardless, we had fun and came away with distinct impressions. Our hands down fav’s were 1) Chimay Blue, and 2) Westmalle Tripel. We were blown away by the amount of particles in each of these 2. Hold up to the light and wow. Unfiltered is an understatement. Unbelievably smooth and rich, without being rich and overbearing. WonAderful stuff.
