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.

I don’t have a whole lot of experience with belgians, and perhaps they are not my favorite. But, I was able to appreciate this for what it was. Taste of yeasts, dark fruits. Very carbonated, easy to drink. Sweet.

Bottle. Poured dark brown color in color with thick head. Aroma was earthy, malts, and a bit of fruits. Taste was mostly the same along with a touch of alcohol. My first Abt 12.

Bottle. Poured into a trappist glass. Poured a dark brown color with a huge brown head that persists. Aroma was sweet malt, dark fruits and alcohol. Flavor was mainly dark fruits with a little warming alcohol on the end. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Great beer.

Pours a deep plum color from the bomber with gorgeous lacing and an obscene brown head. Absurdly cavernous in it’s aroma and flavor, not to mention the SEDIMENT, which makes this brew look like a robin’s egg when held to the light. A beer to behold.

Pours opaque chocolate brown with a beige foamy head that persists. Nose is very mild, but I detect malt and faint ethanol. You can taste the hops; it’s the perfect amount of bitter. Finishes with a slight alcohol tingle that is promptly quenched by the next sip. It is easy to see why this beer is highly rated.

Bottle. Pours a nice walnut brown with a thin tan head that has no staying power. Smell is earthy, dates, rasins, sweet malts, and hints of wood. Taste is very mellow, sweet yet not overpowering with all the things that you can smell playing nicely in the taste. Mouthfeel is soft and enjoyable with light carbonation and a slight alcohol burn.
