Brouwerij Bosteels - Tripel Karmeliet - Tripel (Ale/Belgium)



Tripel Karmeliet, famous for its wooden-handled glass Kwak, is produced in Belgium by Brouwerij Bosteels. While I don't usually get the flavor I want from Tripels, Karmeliet is a very nice tripel with its spice and citrus aromas. It is available in Turkey, I recommend it.

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

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
