Beer tasting - Belgium brews at Full Throttle

I stopped by Full Throttle Bottles in Georgetown after work on Wednesday for a tasting of some fine Belgian beers. Jhon from Merchant du Vin importers was doing the pouring, offering great insights into the brews. And the line-up was quite impressive:

Westmalle Trappist Tripel (from Brouwerj Westmalle)

Trappist Rochefort 10 (Quadrupel from Brasserie Rochefort)

Orval (Belgian Ale from Brasserie D'Orval)

Lindeman's Cuvee Rene (Lambic-Geuze from Brouwerij Lindemans)

The Orval was my favorite of the three (I'd tasted that and the Rochefort 10 before). Although the dessert-like quality of the Cuvee Rene was intriguing, too. May pick up a bottle of that in the future.
