St. Bernardus Abt 12

Drank from a bottle in Brussels. Great, taste, aroma, and color, what else can I say?

Very good beer, little bit strong taste. Alcoholpercent is a little bit to high but the taste is real good.

330ml bottle. Taiwan. The beer has an orange color with brown hues. The aroma is full of spicy, like herbal or clove. The honey or some kind of sweetness palate lives long time in my mouth. The toasted or burnt-sugar malty flavor is just compatible with shallow bitterness in the finish.

An opaque brown beer. Extremely smooth and an aftertaste so complex it would take many bottles to decipher. However, after only one bottle it was quite clear, I was dealing with a world-class beer.

750 ml bottle into a wide, shallow, crystal champagne glass. Aromas of booze, yeast, malt, with a tinge of fruit-citrus. Poured cloudy from suspended yeast into the glass a dark reddish-brown with off-white head fading to dots of foam on the surface then into a thick ring; easily roused back to life. Heavy sweetness, medium sour, and lightly bitter flavor. Thick feel, thin bodied, softly carbonated with a malty sweet, med-long, dry-booze finish. Tastes of sweet, nutty, roasted malts, fruit, and spicy cloves. I really like this beer. Left me wanting more!

Dark brown with an off-white head. Deep, well balanced flavor, but nothing special. The aroma is what makes this beer; it is full, complex, and ever-changing with temperature and time since poured.
