I am unsure how to properly pronounce these descriptors of fine Belgian ales.

A Belgian Dubbel - is it Du-bell, or is it Do-bull?

A Belgian Tripell - is it Tri-pell, or is it Tri-pull?

Or is it none of the above?

Finally, can you send me a case of Westvleteren 12 (yellow cap)?

Thanks,

:drunk:

Could be Double and Triple..................................... :unsure:

Ken

Right you are there Ken.

Belgian beers:

Blond Ales

Golden and Strong Ales

Dark and Strong Ales

Dubbel

Tripel

...and yes Dubbel's and Tripel's are higher alcohol beers compared to Blond and Golden Ales, not really 2X or 3X stronger, but higher alcohol never the less.

...but how do I pronounce them in the true Belgian tongue?

Thanks,

That isn`t easy to explain in writing. And although the belgians and the dutch speak the same language there is a difference in accent. I could talk to you on msn and give you the dutch prononciation if you like.

Btw i took a picture of some bottles in my backyard.

Piraat is about 10% BV....rich and very round...fruity pale ale......my favourite.......Augustijn Grand Cru is one of the nicest......Chimay Dubbel or Triple Sec is one of the most popular.......:D

Ah yes TTK, fine choices they are , then you must also include these:

St. Bernardus Abt 12

Trappistes Rochefort 10

Trappist Westvleteren 8

Abbaye Des Rocs Grand Cru

The Belgians make some of the best beers in the world.
