Commercial Description:
The absolute top quality in the hierarchy of the St. Bernardus beers. It is also the beer with the highest alcohol content (10.50 %). A dark ivory coloured beer with a high fermentation. The show piece of the brewery. Thanks to its soft and unconditionally genuine aroma, the beer can be smoothly tasted. The Abt has a very fruity flavour.

This is a nice beer. A little fancy for my taste. Definitely a sipping beer. Pours a nice brown with a off white head. You can definitely taste the alcohol in this one.

Dark Brown color with a nice head. Fruity aroma, starts with an apple flavor and as the bottle is emptied turns more to a raisin flavor. It’s good, but not my favorite.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 10 Oct 2008) Dark brown colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty nose with toasted grain, lots of dark fruit, prunes, raisins and hints of herbs. Malty taste with notes of dried fruit, dark rye bread, raisins, prunes and brown sugar. Full bodied, sweet, with medium bitterness. Emphasis is on the malt and it succeeds quite well in not being cloying despite the loads of sweet malt. Very nice beer.

Great label...pours dark copper color with big off white head, great head retention, aroma is mostly yeast and alcohol, medium mouthful with flavors of dark fruits, oak, chocolate mousse, good aftertaste that isn’t overpowering...a masterful balance and really satisfying drink

Deep amber beer with medium lasting white head. Spices, malt and bread lead to smooth finish. Rather thin-bodied. Beaten easily by Rocheforte Trappiste 10. Disappointing.
