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.

Cornfield (5239) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - MAR 16, 2005
A decent enough dubbel... no reason to retire it! Murky brown with a slender white head, it’s got a brown sugar kind of aroma with soemslight m,altiness as an afterthought. It’s a tad watery, but has some nice spicy, sweet malt flavpors, some plum perhaps. Quick, clean finish.

A reasonably tasty brown Double, although it’s got nothing in particular going for it. Head disappears pretty fast (too fast for my liking), taste could be almost any half-decent brune and said doesn’t linger on for very long. Grab it if you just want a run-of-the-mill brownie, but expect not the world.

Good beer, dark brown with a very frothy white head. taste of burnt sugar is delicious on top of some sweet and smooth malts. A decent abbey double.

dornoy (694) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - DEC 16, 2004
It look prominig, with its ivory head on a deep red-brown body. The aroma is pretty good. Alas, despite all of these promises, the taste, although otherwise well-balance, has a bit too much alcohol, which spoils most of the good initial impressions.

Bottle at Plan B. CPH. DK. Deep red color, weak spicy sweet aroma and taste in a medium body with a sweet finish. A bit boring.

Sammy (5888) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 14, 2004
Decent yeast with fruit, some roatiness and spot of bitterness here. Good session ale. Had at Beer Bistro Winterfest, and hung in together with Westys’ and other fine Belgiums for sampling. Beautiful lace, medium-full mouthfeel. Hops
