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.

Poured a dark brown with a uge brown head that just doesn’t go down. Taste is very yeasty, with raisins, dark chocolate, caramel, and a slightly bitter finish, So interesting, I haven’t had many Quadrupels but I really like the taste. It’s so different from what I’m used to but I really like it.

Pours a very nice brown with a cream-like colored head, with wonderful staying power. Large smell of malts, and a few other things I can’t put my finger on. First taste on this was so good, I started wondering why I have not been drinking more quad. Just simply amazing. Soft on the mouth feel, and goes down nice and smooth. A touch of sweetness at the end makes this brew just that much better. Outstanding brew. Simply outstanding.

Nice pop! Cloudy brown/anber pour with a thick cream head. Aroma is citrus. metal, bananna. Great mouth feel: pungent and warming - foam on the stash is always a plus. Yeast is there along with bread, banana, caramel and tannins.

Dark brown pour into a THICK foamy off white head that slowly dissipates into sticky lacing on the glass. Lightly carbonated bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass through murky floating spicy bits. Aroma of malty fruity citrus that fades into sweet malty hoppiness. Almost wine-like initial flavor with floating spicy bits providing the hoppy bite that fades into a balanced malty sweetness.

Bottle poured dark brown and red with a great head. Rich aroma of bread, fruits, cedar and malt. Smooth, thick, rich and creamy, mildly bitter but mostly masked. Complex flavor that I couldn’t start to describe. Moves through flavors perfectly and rapidly throughout the drink. Amazing beer.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a beautiful, lasting head. Pungent, banana clove esters dominate the aroma. IN YOUR FACE yeast character, though nothing offensive, just very dominant. Malt profile is impeccable, sweet but not cloying, body is soft and delicate. There are earthy notes in the body that I’d prefer a softer yeast to be able to detect, but this is at least on par with Roquefort. One of the best I’ve had.
