St. Bernardus Abt 12
27 Jan
Name - St. Bernardus Abt 12
Country - Belgium
Type - Quadrupel
Appearance - A brownish color with some red highlights here and there. Very thin white head on it.
Smell - Lots of sweet fruit smells going on with hints of grape, apples and pears.
Taste - Very full body to it with lots of sweet malt flavors. Those fruit flavors are present in the taste as well. Very slight taste of alcohol.
I have long been told of St. Bernardus Abt 12 and finally took the time to give it a try. Had this at the Yardhouse in Palm Beach Gardens after the failed Jupiter Festival. I was extremely caught off guard by this as I was not expecting such a presence of fruit flavors and smells in it. It was good definitely but the fruit was a little too overpowering for my taste. I would definitely have it again when I visit there and maybe pick up a bottle on the occasion.
Overall Grade – B-
Nice write up. I’ve been on a bit of a Belgian beer streak and I’ve been meaning to try this one too. Those Belgians really make some good stuff, don’t they?
