This is one of my favourites. Look at any list on BeerAdvocate.com and it scores rather highly. It’s dark and delicious. Yes, it’s Belgian and it’s 10% and it comes in large bottles if you like. If you’re really lucky you can find somewhere with a tap of this stuff – If anyone knows somewhere in Melbourne with one, I *MUST* know.
I asked at the Belgian Beer Gardens (No).
The barman suggested “The Local Taphouse”
(03) 9537 2633
184 Carlisle St St Kilda East
but also suggested checking Phoenix Beer the importers

Their catalog suggests they only get bottles, but you could ask.
I haven’t actually been to the Local Taphouse. I should.
