I ended up picking up the Ommegang Abbey Ale from Lowes Foods. Not part of the build-a-six-pack, but just an interesting brew that I wanted to try. Basically, I noticed that they had the 750 mL bottles available for a hefty price, and I could sample a smaller version for cheaper. I picked it up, like the cheapskate I am.
When I saw Ommegang (http://www.ommegang.com), I thought I was getting some import from Belgium. Wrong. They're based out of New York. Cooperstown of all places (Baseball hall of fame for those of you that don't care about sports). I didn't expect that it was a US brew, but I'm not complaining either.
What I found was a tremendously tasty beer. 8.5% ABV, but you wouldn't know it while you're drinking it. I didn't get a boozy taste while drinking it. I never had a dubbel before, but I tasted this beer and simply went "wow". Then I took the time to savor every last drop. This beer is a winner, and one that I would definitely have again.
Grade: B+
Price Paid: $3.30 (12 oz bottle)
