Tonight's beers were higher gravity Abbey ales; a Prior ale and an Abt ale.

Are those the brands, or the types?

I bought a 4-bottle sampler from Harry's. It's from Brouwerij Van Eecke. I looked them up and found this at ratebeer.com: http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/van-eecke/896/

The two I tried last night were called "Het Kapittel Prior," a Belgian Strong Ale (9%), and "Het Kapittel Abt," listed as an Abt/Quadrupel (10%).

The two remaining are just called Belgian Ales on the ratebeer site. Het Kapittel Blond (6.2%) and Het Kapittel Pater (6%). I have a feeling those won't quite be it, either. :/

Any recommendations?
