I brewed a Belgian a while back, and bottled it via bottle conditioning with DME. It's completely flat, and I have just shy of 50 bottles of it. I don't have access to a keg to force condition it, and I have heard questionable things about the carbonation drops....does anyone have experience with situations like this, or have used carbonation drops before with success?
 
high gravity beers take longer to carb than regular gravity beers. adding more fermentable sugars to the beer now is just asking for bottle bombs.
 
How long ago did you bottle it? Try raising the temp and give it a few more weeks. I did a high ABV Trippel and it was flat after a month. I gave it another month and the carbonation is right on now.
