St. Bernardus Abt 12

Glory in a glass. Deep brown dark colour with a speckled tan head. Smell of rum, licorice, coffee, toffee, chocolate mousse. Sipping this is like sucking on angel’s wings...a bounty of desireable tastes just dancing on the tongue; flavours abounding on the palate like some sort of wildflower blooming and bursting. Extremely well balanced and the 10.5% alcohol is felt with a slight burn (aaahhhh) but is very well concealed amongst the rum, oak, malted barley, maple, figs, candied apple, raisins, vanilla, the list goes on and on. I like the jolly parson label as well. Buy or die!

Bottle from Pub Italia. Pours a dark brown with a massive and dense off-white head. Aroma mainly of dark fruits (prunes, figs), caramel and some alcohol. The flavour and mouthfeel are creamy with strong notes of brown sugar, dark fruits, caramel, molasses, raisons and chocolate. This is the best beer I have ever had! Try it.

Bottle. Pours with a large head, excellent lacing, and dark brown color. Aromas of molasses, caramel, lime, and plum. Creamy texture with a nearly perfect flavor. Definitely a keeper and will be purchasing this beer again!

a damn great beer....such a great nose of plum and dark fruits.....and super soft mouthfeel.....just an outstanding quad!

Dark brown colour, thick white head that stays for a really long time. Aroma is slightly sweet, with the aroma of plums and raisins. Palate is pleasant, light bubbles form on your tongue as you taste it. The flavour is incredible, dark chocolate, vanilla, plums... it just keeps going. Great lingering taste. Great brew!
