Westvleteren 12

Brewed by Westvleteren Abdij St. Sixtus
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Westvleteren, Belgium

Bottle at home wiyh a friend. Brown with light tan head. Complex alcoholic aroma. Multilayered flavours tat keep developing as the glass empties. A bit sweet for me but I would love to try more.

My second favorite beer of all. Very much like the Extra 8 but a little sharper. Tastes of figs and toffee. Dark brown color with decent light tan head. Very smooth for a high alcohol beer. Well worth trying to get hold of a few bottles. I traded for mine as I understand it is not sold only at or near the brewery.

Bottle 330ml, in Westvleteren goblet. Having looked forward to sampling the Westvs with no little anticipation, and wondering whether I had been duped at all by the superlative and overwhelming hype, with the Westvleteren12, the answer is a most definite no, and it slightly outshines the Westvleteren8. Pours a dark russet, and luscious on both the nose and the palate, with an orchestra of the most melodious notes on the nose. Relatively spicy on the palate, bursting with flavours of all manner of wonderful things. A joy.

Dark brown with a long lasting taste of caramel and alcohol. Very fine off white head. One of the best beer I have ever tasted.

CaryTheDude hooked me up huge on this one. This is unlike any quad I’ve ever had, and considering how highly lauded this beer is, obviously the others aren’t listening. Pours a murky, bubbling brown. Aroma has all sorts of fruits, caramels, sugars, chocolates. I’m not sure how to describe the flavor except that is lives up to the hype, and has everything you could want in a beer. An awesome experience, and a privilege to try. Thanks Dude, this was awesome.

Crushed with Jakebra. Then crushed with Honkeybra. Soon to be crushed with Dadbra. Every opinion counts. This brew is something huge. Fruity nose, and by fruity I mean every fruit you might have ever come in contact with. Body is as full as Angelina Jolie from the nape of her neck to her lipstick lips. Finishes dry and satisfying as a orgasm. In all ways a huge beer, and makes me appreciate beer at a whole new level. Want to try back-to-back with Roch 10 blindfolded and figure it out for myself.

[Bottle] that was a bonus in a trade with ygtbsm94, thanks a lot for this legendary beer. The date code on the cap is 19/03/11. Pours a foamy, bubbly, cloudy brown, with a medium sized beige head. Powerful and sweet aroma loaded with licorice, raisins, caramel, some alcohol, dates, and some vinous notes. Flavor matches the aroma. Extremely full mouthfeel with a long, sweetish finish and a touch of bitterness and tartness on the sides of the tongue. The alcohol is definitely in the flavor, but blends well with the sweetness from the yeast. This beer is extremely good and deserves every bit of its status as the #1 beer in the world. Thanks again, Brad for this awesome bonus beer!
