Hi, Joel, Dwight and All:
One thing you need to remember when attempting to "judge" a Belgian
style beer is that categorization is anathemic to Belgian brewing in the
first place.  It's a bit like herding cats.  You should aquaint yourself
with a few beers who call themselves "specials" and see if you can draw
some paralells in the style beyond the BJCP guidelines.  BJCP guidelines
aren't dogma, IMHO, but rather guidelines to help focus judges and
brewers.  Most important (again IMHO), is that an entry be a wonderful
beer first, and a Special or a Dubbel, or a Quadrupel second, if at
all.  A good Belgian brewer would be delighted if you said his Special
was "not to style".
