Westvleteren 12

Bottle, pub Proppen, Denmark , Birkerød. This was a very pleasant drink. I can find nothing to complain about, which is seldom with beers. However, it didn’t stand out as being truly spectacular, mostly because it was sort of totally well balanced, with no dirty tricks or surprises added, just a damn good beer indeed. It was a bit expensive (dkk 129 / usd 25), but i was very happy to be able to taste it at all.

Best beer of the world ? I dont think so, it was nice bud i dont get the hype of this beer.

(2007-version) Dark brown. Very complex aroma og flavour - and extremely well-balanced. Plum, raisin, dry chocolate / figs, diff. berries.

Wow!!!! Rarely does a beer live up to its hype like this one. Poured a dark amber with a small brownish head that lingered. The nose has some malt, yeast and vanilla. The palate was mild, sugary and carbonated. The finish was amazingly complex with a tatse of plums, figs, caramel, raisins and plums with a warming alcohol finish. Best beer in the world? Who knows, but this sure lived up to the hype. I have another 5 I cant wait to enjoy!!!!

I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors, but I remember this beer as the best one I have ever tasted.

I have been holding on to this for awhile and was in a mood to try,this is not my favorite type of beer but with all the hype i finally crack it open at room temp. and it was quite good with a dark rich and malty flavor with hints of plums and vey smooth with a heavy sugar taste and complex CHEERS!

Thanks tytoanderso. The color was dark brown. The head was thin, fizzy, and white. The aroma was complex, spicey, sweet, rum, raisin, and alcohol. The flavor was the same. The palate was well carbonated and thick-bodied. The finish was warm.

Recently retried this blind, courtesy of turdferguson and was underimpressed, lowered rating as a result. Thanks tytoanderso. Pours a thick dark hazy brown with little to no head. The nose is very reminiscent of a nice port, dark sugars, rum, raisins, plums, alcohol, earthy and mellow, slight Belgian tones. Dark sugars abound in the flavor, raisins, dark fruit, plum, rum, Belgian hints, caramel, a mild alcohol warmth, . The palate was full and sharply carbontated, warming and sweet. Long musty fruity finish. Delicious Belgian, best beer in the world...no. But still delicious.
