St. Bernardus Abt 12

Here comes another beer brewed in good ol' Belgium. This one comes from St. Bernardus and is by far considered to be their best one. This Quadrupel pours extremely dark brown/not quite black, with an large off-white head that has good life and lacing. The smells are of dark fruits (plums, grapes, figs), caramel mats, and a hint of chocolate. Although the aroma of fruits is quite strong the alcohol shines through as well, this brew does not hide the fact that is ABV is so high (10.5%). Even so the taste does not disappoint and has the overwhelming flavor of dark fruits and dark malts with a hint of alcohol at the end. Smoother than Tucker Max at a bar.

Appearance - 4.1
Smell - 3.9
Taste - 4.3
Texture - 4.4
Overall - 4.18/5
