Brouwerij Bosteels - Kwak - Belgian Pale Strong Ale (Belgium)



Kwak is one of the few good Belgian beers that you can currently find in Turkey. Its color, carbonation, sweetness, and alcohol content make it a typical high-alcohol Belgian beer.
Although the date on the bottle says 1791, the beer and its glass were introduced to the market in 1980. It is said that the unique glass shape was created by Pauwel Kwak, who was an innkeeper during Napoleon's time, to make it easier for the coachman to attach the glass to the carriage.
While it is not a Trappist like some other Belgian beers, it has gained fame especially with its glass.

Alc (ABV): 8.4%
Score: 9/10

Brouwerij Duvel - Duvel - Belgian Pale Strong Ale (Belgium)



Duvel is one of the most famous Belgian beers. It is a strong Pale Ale.
I occasionally have Duvel, but this famous Belgian beer has never appealed to me. Besides its high alcohol content, it lacks the characteristics I look for in a beer. Apologizing to Duvel enthusiasts, I would like to finish the text without further ado.

Alc (ABV): 8.5%
Score: 6/10

La Chouffe - Belgian Pale Strong Ale (Belgium)



Our censored beer, La Chouffe. They have covered the bottles with a red band in order to hide the cartoon characters in Turkey. Anyway.
It's a nice beer, but I guess I can't get the same enjoyment as I do from quadrupels and dubbels. I think the aroma is not sufficient for me. I feel the same way about tripels.

Alc (ABV): 8.0%
Score: 8/10

Brouwerij Alken-Maes - Hapkin - Belgian Pale Strong Ale (Belgium)



A lesser-known Belgian beer I stumbled upon at Metro and, to my surprise, has a taste close to perfection. It's a dubbel, but it's a lighter shade. The aroma, the smoothness, and the carbonation are all really nice. If you're a fan of Belgian beers, I'd suggest grabbing some at Metro before they run out.
