@Mike – I enjoyed the Corsendonk as well. They also make a very tasty Christmas ale (that I missed this year ) Going to check which Chimay came out on top! (They’re all so good!)

I really love the Corsendonk Brown Ale – one of my favorite browns. I just had the 3 different Chimays over the holiday and reviewed them today at Tristate. I bet you can guess which one I liked best. Cheers!

Thomas – totally. I make my extra special chili with a couple of bottles of Kasteel Donker or Rochefort 10. And from all who have had the original vs the ‘special’ the special wins hands down.

lol, I suppose it does! I guess many beer drinkers would consider cooking with it to be “blasphemy” but hey, if white wines and vodkas can make sauce, rum can go into bread pudding and Jack Daniels can do ribs & wings why can’t I do an overnight marinade of boneless pork ribs?? I’ve already chosen Dogfish Head’s “Raison d’etra” as the marinade before they hit the grill in my backyard! Sorry, but I aint waitin’ for the weather to change to indulge!!

@Thomas – “Cooking with Corsendonk”. Sounds like a made-for-cable show!

A premium, premium beer that can hang with the likes of Chamay, Unibroue Brewing Co., Ommegang and others with ease! I’m just sorry they only make two different styles of beer (at least I think they do)! Anyway, their Abbey Pale and Abbey Brown Ales are superb – smooth and full of flavor! Two brews that are in my heavy rotation! I’m thinking about cooking with these beers……..hmmm.

[...] occurred to me that while I’ve reviewed a few ‘Abbey style’ beers – Leffe, Corsendonk, to date the only Trappist beer I have reviewed is La Trappe from De [...]

Different people, different views. No-matter-what, this is still a very nice ale.

Barry, while I respect your opinions, I suspect that accusing English Beer of taking like a Donkey’s Ass is taking things a little far, but then I haven’t tasted a donkey’s ass, but have tasted a lot of English, Belgian and German Beers.

This particular review was conducted after a trip to Brussels when I sampled a number of authentic Trappist beers and their ersatz Abbey cousins. As you’ll see from my review I gave Cosondonk two and a half stars, not bad for what I also considered “simply a marketing brand” with no real home.

I have tried (and enjoyed) Lambic beers, and agree that their taste is heavenly, I am also very fond of Rodenbac Grand Cru and the Duchesse de Burgogne.

But thanks for the suggestion that I should get a life, I’ll add it to my ‘to do’ list.
