Brooklyn Brewery Local 1 $8.49/750 ml. bottle

Origin: New York.

Style: Belgian Strong Pale Ale.

Alcohol Content: 9.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Brewery notes: "While we've never come right out and said that Brooklyn Local 1 is our version of the Belgian Saison, we're certainly not going to argue with America's cocktail expert David Wondrich. And certainly not while he's saying things like "(Local 1) could be the most elegant beer ever made." In Williamsburg, Brooklyn, we forge barley malt and hops from Germany, aromatic raw sugar from Mauritius and yeast from Belgium into Brooklyn Local 1. Behind the full golden color you'll find an alluring aroma, a dynamic complex of flavors. Belgian flair, Brooklyn fortitude and a dusting of our special yeast. To create this beer, we use the old technique of 100% bottle re-fermentation, a practice now rare even in Europe. It gives this beer a palate of unusual depth."

Brooklyn Brewery Local 2 $8.49/750 ml. bottle

Origin: New York.

Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale.

Alcohol Content: 9.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

"Styled after dark Belgian ale, this domestic craft beer from Brooklyn Brewery is made with European malts and hops, brown sugar, wildflower honey and orange zest. It is bottled in an impressively sculpted, Champagne-like cork-and-wire-cage-adorned 750 ml. bottle. Belgian-style ales are meant to savor and share. The Local 2 goes great with roasted vegetables and seasonal braised game. It’s available year-round, but this is the season that it shines the brightest. In the glass: Deep reddish mahogany color with a tan head. Aromas of caramel on buttered dark toast, honey and orange peel follow through on a round, foamy entry to a fruity yet dry, medium to full body with tangy apple skin, dried citrus and toffee notes. Finishes with a nice, grassy hop and pepper-accented fade. A rock solid food beer." - Chicago Tribune.

Duvel $15.49/4-pack 330 ml. bottles

Origin: Belgium.

Style: Belgian Strong Pale Ale.

Alcohol Content: 8.5%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A.

Brewery notes: "Duvel has the complexity and depth of an ale, with the ease and refreshing nature of a Pilsner. Duvel is fermented 3 times - twice at the brewery and the final time in the bottle." Jason Alström (Beer Advocate co-founder) notes: "A top shelf brew, this one does it for me and then some. Pretty much sex in a bottle and the devil told me to drink it. Duvel is close to dry champagne but so much more. Between the bitterness and the sheer crispness, this beer is what I expect from the Belgian strong pale ale style." Also available in a 750 ml. bottle for $8.89.

Brewery Ommegang Three Philosophers $9.99/750 ml. bottle

Origin: New York.

Style: Quadrupel (Quad).

Alcohol Content: 9.8%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

2011 Vintage in stock now. Brewery notes: "Cynics can't believe it, Epicures hail it a sensation, and Pythagoreans just can't add up what makes this luscious blend of rich malty ale and cherry lambic so delightful. It might be the flavor of dark chocolate and cherry cordials; it could be the way it acquires wisdom and grace in the cellar. Maybe it's a conundrum. What's your theory? The essence of wonder is a unique and masterful blend of strong malty ale and authentic Belgian Kriek. Our philosophers deduce that this powerful marriage of cherries, roasted malts, and dark chocolate will only achieve more wisdom and coherence as it broods in the dark recesses of your cellar." (Note: 2008 pictured, 2011 in stock)

Chimay Cinq Cents Triple White Label Trappist Ale $10.89/750 ml.

Origin: Belgium.

Style: Tripel.

Alcohol Content: 8.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Chimay notes: "This beer with its typical golden color, its slightly hazy appearance and its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast. The beer's flavor, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma. The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurized." The pictured 330 ml. (11 ounce) bottle is also available.

Origin: Delaware.

Style: American Brown Ale.

Alcohol Content: 12.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Brewery notes: "An unfiltered, unfettered, unprecedented brown ale aged in handmade wooden brewing vessels. The caramel and vanilla complexity unique to this beer comes from the exotic Paraguayan Palo Santo wood from which these tanks were crafted. Palo Santo means 'holy tree' and it's wood has been used in South American wine-making communities. This beer is a 12% abv, highly roasty, and malty brown ale aged on the Palo Santo wood."

Unibroue Trois Pistoles Ale $10.99/4-pack 12 oz. bottles

Origin: Quebec.

Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale.

Alcohol Content: 9.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Brewery description: "Trois Pistoles has a dark brown color topped with a rich foam mousse. Its slightly sweet taste is enhanced by accents of roasted malt, cocoa, ripe fruit and dark spices with a smooth finish like an old port."

Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale $17.49/6-pack 12 oz. bottles

Origin: California.

Style: American Strong Ale.

Alcohol Content: 7.2%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Todd Alström, Beer Advocate review: "A dark brown beer with a creamy off-white head; good retention. Aroma was incredible with a complex floral, herbal, citrus and woody nose. At first taste: creamy and smooth in the mouthfeel. Then strong mint, followed by strong hoppy/pine-y herbal flavour and juicy citrus (grapefruit!!); big hop bite. Oak anchors the big malty sweet flavours and carries thru to the dry finish with strong notes of wood. The aging added a whole other depth of complexity and smoothness to the beer."

Oskar Blues Old Chub Scottish Style Ale $9.99/6-pack 12 oz. cans

Origin: Colorado.

Style: Scottish Ale.

Alcohol Content: 8.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Brewery notes: " Old Chub is brewed with hearty amounts of seven different malts, including crystal and chocolate malts, and a smidge of US and UK hops. Old Chub also gets a dash of beechwood-smoked grains imported from Bamburg, Germany, home of the world's greatest smoked beers. Old Chub takes care of our deep affections for malt.The cola-colored beer (almost black) features a tan head, a creamy, skim-milk mouthfeel, and rich, semi-sweet flavors of caramel and chocolate throughout. The addition of smoked grains gives Old Chub a delicate kiss of smoke on the finish. Here is the beer equivalent of a lightly smoked single malt scotch, or your favorite dark chocolate." Amazing, you can get this quality ale in a can!

Stone Brewing IPA $11.49/6-pack 12 oz. bottles

Origin: California.

Style: American IPA.

Alcohol Content: 6.9%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A.

Brewery notes: "Stone India Pale Ale is true to style with a huge hop aroma, flavor and bitterness throughout. Expect medium malt character with a heavy dose of over the top hops." Appearance: Rich golden amber. Hop aromas dominate and might turn away those who aren't "hop heads". Flavorwise, it's very bitter but with just enough malty character to balance. The 22 ounce bottle (pictured) is available for $4.29.

Stone Brewing Arrogant Bastard Ale $4.59/22 ounce bottle

Origin: California.

Style: American Strong Ale.

Alcohol Content: 7.2%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

First introduced in November, 1997, this is an aggressive beer. Hugely complex, deep reddish brown, frothy and stick, there's a lot going on between the hops and malt in this brew. Beer Advocate Todd Alström says, "Medium bodied, yet rich, full and complex. Smooth, especially as it warms. Big malty sweetness with caramel, chocolate and toasted/roasted flavours. Alcohol prickliness teases the palate then the brew kicks its ass with an assertive hop profile. It's raw, coarse, a bit prickly itself, mildly rind-like. Helps to balance the huge malt flavours. Finishes with a lingering sweetness, caramel, roasted coffee. A bit grain/dry too."

Chimay Grand Réserve Blue Label Trappist Ale $11.99/750 ml.

Origin: Belgium.

Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale.

Alcohol Content: 9.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Chimay notes: "This is a beer whose fragrance of fresh yeast with a light, flowery rosy touch is especially pleasant. Its flavor, noticed when tasting it, only accentuates the pleasant sensations perceived in the aroma, while revealing a light but pleasant touch of roasted malt. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurized." The pictured 330 ml. (11 ounce) bottle is $4.49.

Chimay Première Red Label Trappist Ale $10.49/750 ml.

Origin: Belgium.

Style: Dubbel.

Alcohol Content: 7.0%.

Beer Advocate Rating: A-.

Chimay notes: "it is noted for its coppery color which makes it particularly attractive. Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a light, fruity apricot aroma produced by the fermentation. The taste perceived in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruity nuances noticed in the fragrance. Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavor qualities of this beer very harmoniously. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurized." The pictured 330 ml. (11 ounce) bottle is $3.99.

Dale's Pale Ale $9.99/6-pack 12 oz. cans

Origin: Colorado.

Style: American IPA.

Alcohol Content: 6.5%.

Beer Advocate Rating: B+.

From Oskar Blue's Cajun Grill & Brewery in Lyons, Colorado. Brewery notes: " Dale's Pale Ale is America's first hand-canned craft beer. It's an assertive but deftly balanced beer (somewhere between an American pale ale and an India Pale Ale) brewed with hefty amounts of European malts and American hops. It features a merengue-like head, a copper color, and a hoppy nose, thanks to a big post-boil addition of Centennial hops. To complement its hoppy first impression, Dale's also sports a rich middle of malts and hops, and a bracing finish. Dale's features 65 International Bittering Units." OMG! A great beer from a CAN!
