Hertog Jan Grand Prestige
Hertog Jan Grand Prestige tastes like someone took a quadrupel and sanded down all the rough edges. It's remarkably clean for the style—malty sweetness without cloying, spice notes that whisper instead of shout. There's a warmth on the finish that doesn't overstay its welcome. It drinks almost deceptively easy for 10%, which is either the point or the trap depending on your mood.
The Lost Abbey Judgment Day
Judgment Day hits harder conceptually—dark fruit, candied complexity, a peppery heat that catches you mid-sip. There's a vinous quality that makes it feel more ambitious than its ABV suggests. The finish lingers with a slight tartness underneath the sweetness. It's the kind of beer you pace yourself with, not because it's boozy, but because it's got opinions.
