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.

The Dan Journal #87. Tasted 5/29/2007. 500ml bottle. Very lively pour. Large creamy head. Hazy ruby amber hue. Aromas of raisins and alcohol. Nutty bready cocoa and caramel. Great nose! Immediate buttery blah. Smells better than it tastes. Total butterball! Lingering off-putting bitter finish. Nice notes of cactus and cinnamon. No Thank You!

yngwie (8717) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JUL 8, 2007
Bottle at Københavnske Øldage. Copper to ruby color, with a minimal off-white head. Sweetish caramel nose, a bit oxidized, with some spices and hops. Flavor is initially sweet and caramel-ish, but some spicyness and hoppiness comes after a while. Medium body. A quite ordinary dubbel, but easy to drink. (070512)

davidpl (435) - Santiago, CHILE - JUL 5, 2007
Appearance: dark amber color with reddish tones. Big head, beige color, rocky, consistent and very persistent. Beautiful foam. Aroma: sweet, high presence of candy, toffee, vanilla and sweet chocolate. Reminiscence of vintage wine. Citric-fruity of plums and peaches. Toast malts, yeasty and cinnamon in the end. Low hoppyness. Flavor: with the toast intensity, this beer remembers me a porter. Complex and exquisite. Toasty, candy, grain coffee and sweet chocolate. citric-fruity of peaches, berries and plums. Liquory touches of vintage wine and cabernet sauvignon. The flavor remembers me to a handcrafted truffle. In the finish a persistent toasty; slight smoked; and low but lasting hops-dryness. Palate: Low carbonation. Medium body, with semi-oily texture. Nice and advisable beer.

MiP (11256) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - JUL 2, 2007
Bottle at KØ07. Beautiful, very dark brown colour, small head. Green apple aroma. There is also green apple in the flavour, along with a little spicy liquorice type notes. Seems slightly oxidized. Semi-sweet, well-balanced, but not so exciting.
