St. Bernardus Abt 12

i know i am probably supposed to like this belgium ale more than i do, but i simply can’t. i am not a fan of this style, and this bottle proves it. nose is heavy hops and carmel along with boozy fruit. heavy, monstrous white head leaves you waiting to get a good whif. taste is carmely, boozy and a bit of fruit. overall, okay. just not my cup of tea, er, beer.

Bottle, dark brown black pour into belgian tulip glass. Nice toffee flavor mixed with hints of rum-like fruit, layered with flavor. This beer is not too heavy and opened up nicely.

pours ind of dar with nice white frothy head tastes of sweet fruits fades into alcohol taste

The first (and the only, despite myself... ^^’) time I’ve tasted St. Bernardus 12, it shocked me. This is an awesome one: flavor is so sweet, tastes like honey (but it don’t nauseate) and fruit (probably cherry), and every gulp makes the tongue fizzy!

Bottle at some nameless gastropub in North Philadelphia; I feel the same about the beer, nameless. As far as belgian beers go, it’s centre of the pack. Alcohol content isn’t readily obvious, neither are any other flavors. Fe h.

Pours a foamy off-white lingering head. Very attractive ruby color with lots of floating sediment. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel and a touch of alcohol. Taste, dark fruit, toffee, sweet malt and a fair amount of bitterness at the end; a tad astringent. Overall a great Abt.

Good Belgian, not great. Does hide alcohol pretty well. Its a solid quad that doesn’t touch the other Belgian quads.Need to re try.

Pours hazy brown with white head. Nice malty aroma with some honey. Taste is more of the same with caramel, dates/dark fruit, and some rose. Finish is dry with nice moderate hops lingering.
