Nov 3, 2007 head is very thick, like a root beer float, nose is a bit floral with bright citrus scents- orange and lime and a little bit of hops on the nose. Flavor is rich and reminds me of roasted nuts. The palate is thick and coats the mouth

Nov 3, 2007 all I have to say is that this must have been a skunky beer because I have rated the regular St. Bernardus my highest rating yet and this doesnt come close - really didnt have flavor - will have to re-rate.

Oct 30, 2007 Bottle, 11% at De Pintelier, Groningen. The aroma is yeasty when the beer is cold and gets more spicy as it warms. Dark brown colour, getting cloudy at the bottom. Small stable tan head. The flavour is quite malty and a little sweet. Not overly so, but good. High carbonation, but OK mouthfeel. The flavour is spicy with anis and cinnamon, not as complex as I had expected. Hint of bread in the finish. Good balance.

Oct 28, 2007 pours a purple/brown with a large tan head that grows in the glass. lots of lacing. aroma is mainly dark fruits, spices, licorice. flavor has notes of dark roasted malt, licorice, plastic, brown sugar, plum with hints of chocolate and caramel. it’s been too long since i had the regular abt 12 so i can’t really compare them but it’s a solid brew indeed. flavors really come out more as it warms.
