COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Unfiltered The St. Bernardus Abt 12 is the pride of our stable, the nec plus ultra of our brewery. Abbey ale brewed in the classic ’Quadrupel’ style of Belgium’s best Abbey Ales. Dark with a full, ivory-coloured head. It has a fruity aroma, full of complex flavours and excels because of its long bittersweet finish with a hoppy bite. Worldwide seen as one of the best beers in the world. It’s a very balanced beer, with a full-bodied taste and a perfect equilibrium between malty, bitter, and sweet. One of the original recipes from the days of license-brewing for the Trappist monks of Westvleteren.

Garrold (10781) - Sheffield, South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - JUL 6, 2024
UPDATED: JUL 6, 2024 Bottle. Tesco. One of those you thought you’d ticked already. Clear deep ruby red. Noisy dirty tan foam. Nose has leathery sweaty yeast. Vine fruit. Taste has a baked apple sweetness. Pretty dry and vinous. Lively carbonation doesn’t sit right. Dry vinous finish. Incredible in its nondescript-ness.

Michcio (2484) - Gdansk, POLAND - JUN 26, 2024
UPDATED: JUN 26, 2024 Barwa ciemno miedziana, klarowne, piana beżowa, średnio obfita, średnio trwała. W aromacie ciemne owoce, karmel, szlachetny alkohol. W smaku półsłodkie, sporo nut karmelu, ciemnego pieczywa z rodzynkami, figi, daktyle, nieco przypraw i goździka. Goryczka niska, wysycenie średniowysokie, ciało w normie, umiarkowana pijalność, alkohol niespecjalnie ułożony. W porządku, ale są lepsze quady.

Taste starts with dark caramel malts, some molasses, prunes, raisins, banana and light herbs. Sweet with a medicinal bitterness running through.
