It IS good

Especially the ones which are almost 12% ABV (Rochefort 10 comes to mind here - mature it for a while and drink it at its use by date and see just how good a Belgian beer can be

)

Because Orval, like most good abbey beers refermented in the bottle, contains a lot of solid yeast.
You don't see people doing this with other good abbey beers which are refermented in the bottle :mrgreen:

The double (dark) ones not. The triple (blonde) ones yes. You will also find a yeast deposit in non-abbey beers of triple fermentation like Duvel. This yeast deposit is OK to drink, I always do so. Only if your intestines are not strong you might spend half an hour or so at the toilet afterwards...
