Garnet pour with large off-white head. Fair amount of yeast chucks floating around. Aroma is full of dark caramel malts, candi sugar and hints of spices. Rather sweet. As it warms up cloves and chocolate note become apparent. Flavours are mostly dark malts (sweet, toasty), sweet candi sugar and a hint of noble hops. Sharp alcohol presence is quite strong. Slick mouthfeel, good high carbonation but it does feel slightly watery.

Lovely brown beer. Little bit Fruity taste. Not a really extended taste but still very good.

Pours a cloudy, chunky brown with a thick creamy head; Pretty much looks just like the 12 and Tripel. aroma is very malty, with honey, toffee, caramel. Smells very nice, promising great flavor to come. Ooh, very nice: Sweet brown sugar, huge malts, slightly bitter with a pretty distinct floral flavor at the end. Alcohol is just barely present. Mouthfeel is creamy. Very smooth flavor and palate. Soft, velvety I might call it. Just very classy and very "Bernardus". Overall, excellent to world-class.

Murky grayish brown body with a small cap and chunks floating everywhere, a good swirl replenishes the head. I got to say beer looks unpleasant. Aroma is sour, with wood, alcohol, pepper berry, and gum that’s been chewed way to long. Aroma is nothing special but complex. Taste is surprisingly light. Roasted malts, some alcohol, spicy but not too much. Mouth feel is kind of watery but still full. Just hit some vanilla and toffee. Brew comes across very dry. Ok beer I guess but there are other far superior in the style.

Pours deep mahogany brown with a finger’s width of light brown head. Nutty aroma. Sweet, malty raisin flavour - very good beer.

Colore rubino scuro.Densa e cremosa la schiuma, di buona persistenza. Aroma alcolico e profumo dolciastro, leggere note floreali. Gusto non particolarmente pungente. Modesto l’amaro con note di caramello.
