Yesterday was Belgian & French Ales nighy at my BJCP (Beer Judge Certification Program) study group. This was our second to last styles class. We're finishing up the Belgians in 2 weeks. Next week we're doing an off-flavors class up in Pearl River, NY at the Defiant Brewing Company. It all comes down to the BJCP exam on April 18, an intensive 3-hour exam testing your beer knowledge and judging abilities.
I'm not going to provide tasting notes on all these beers, but I will provide links to their pages on BeerAdvocate.com, so you can see the beers and read other people's reviews. These are the beers I sampled last night (and you can imagine how wonderful I felt this morning):
