Jun 25, 2008 Rating #1000 . Pours a nice caramel cola pour but this cant hold a torch to the ass to the 12. Th e flavor is weakened & watered. This is still a very good beer but not as good as ratings tend to assume. try this blinded & im sure your rating will be lower. Flavor is there but muted. Just tried Westy 8, Westy 12 & St. Bern Apt 12 next to each other. Westy 12 is far superor. On its own platform. Westy 8 is nice but the 12 is on a whole different level

Jun 23, 2008 Purchased in Brussels 2008. Bottle shared with Marcus. Nice malty aroma. Brown color with a tan head. There is a lot in this one for taste. Malt. Not all that sweet. Something herbal. Very pleasant indeed. Finish is smooth and tasty. Quite mysterious. Wish I could say more.

Jun 21, 2008 Had two different samples one labeled as 20 years old and one 1-2 years old.
Both fantastic in their own right. I’m very impressed with how the 20 year bottle held up. Some oxidation, but it added to the flavor profile. Whomever I got if from took care of it...thank you.
Dark reddish brown ale, with a head on the newer one. Nose brought out a lot of fruits and nuttiness. Feels fantastic in your mouth, nice thick coating feel.
Great beers!

Jun 19, 2008 1 yr old. Dark auburn/burgundy color; medium tan head. Restrained malty aroma. Not overly sweet, like lightly toasted walnuts / burnt fruit; toffeeish/caramel flavors? Some spice. Even some cola / Dr. Pepper notes (but thankfully not too much). Smooth and very soft; 8% alcohol is hardly noticeable. Very well-balanced.
