COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In the small village of Meer, north of the city of Antwerp, there used to be an abbey which was famous for its beer named St. Paul. During the French Revolution, the abbey was destroyed and so it was said-one father named Paul, rescued the secret recipes to brew the abbey beer and trust them onto the local Sterkens family, at that time a renowned brewer family. The Sterkens family had been brewing beer since 1654, and their St. Paul abbey beer is still brewed today, respectfully according to the centuries old tradition.

bluevegie (2853) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - JUL 4, 2005
Browny cola-like body with a hard to pour, compact, rocky off-white head. Didn’t think the head would last at all but it managed to hang around for a while and it tried to leave lacing. Burnt caramel malt aroma. Fruit also shows up in the taste, flat, sweet with a light to medium body, alcohol is only slightly noticeable. Easily drinkable but I felt a little let down with this drop.

beerhugger (542) - Oshawa, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 2, 2005
Wow - lots and lots of floaties in this one. Nice dark brown body when not counting the multitude of suspended yeast. Malty and raisin/currant fruits lead to a nice sweet caramel flavour. Smooth finish - decent.

fordest (1954) - Santee/San Diego, California, USA - APR 18, 2005
Deep Brown-Brown-Red color with a few small particles in there. The off-white head was thick and lasted the enitre glass. Malty and carmel aromas. And maybe some Chocolate Milk. Flavor was very sweet and fruity. Thick almost creamy mouthfeel and a very smooth finish. Very Nice.

PeterA (340) - SLOVAK REPUBLIC - APR 14, 2005
Bottled. Cherries in the aroma, with some maltiness. The color is caramel-like with a thick biege head. The flavor has some cherry and perhaps some currant. The mouthfeel is crisp and leaves a little bitterness, and smokiness behind. I enjoyed this quite a bit.

ghawener (1220) - San Salvador, EL SALVADOR - APR 8, 2005
Bottle: Brown colour with a creamy beige heavy head. Aroma of burnt coffee and bitter chocolate. Taste is bitter, smokey, some semblance with a stout. Overall not great, quite flat and simple at the finish with a earthy aftertaste.
