Belgian Brown Strong Abbey Quadrupel

Brewed by: St. Bernardus Brewery
Country: Belgium
Style: Quadrupel
Color: Brown

ABV: 10.0%
Cellaring: Yes
Ratebeer.com rating: 100
BeerAdvocate.com rating: 99

St. Bernardus Abt 12 is an award winning quadrupel that pours a hazy brown with a frothy beige head and expressive carbonation.

Top fermented, bottle conditioned and matured for three months, the brew boasts aromas of dried fruits, plums and raisins, coffee, cherry, bread and caramel.

Taste follows the nose and includes candy sugar sweetness balanced by spice, coriander, a big hit of malt, fruit, and the warming power of 10.0% ABV.

The mouthfeel is soft, smooth and medium bodied. The finish is dry, warm and slightly bitter.

Food Pairings

This beer is a perfect ingredient in and accompaniment to classic Belgian stews, such as rabbit and prune casserole or beef carbonnade.

Blue cheeses of the Roquefort type also make for an ideal pairing, and don't overlook chocolate desserts for an unexpected but very successful combination.

Serve at 46 - 57 degrees F.

 

Brewery Information:



The St. Bernardus Brewery was founded in 1946 by Evarist Deconinck. When the Trappist monks of the St. Sixtus Monastery in Westvleteren, Belgium decided that brewing and promotional efforts had become a serious distraction from religious and contemplative activities, they granted Deconinck a license to brew and distribute Trappistine beers based on the monastery's recipe.

That arrangement continued for decades, but in 1992, when it was decreed that only beers brewed within the walls of a monastery under direct control of the monks could be called Trappist beers, St. Bernardus launched its own brand of abbey beers to huge success.

Today, the brewery distributes award winning ales to more than two dozen countries including the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia and Japan.

Need to buy more!

I'm going to have to buy another bottle since I'm using the majority of it to make carbonnade flammande. From what I tried it's a really good beer.

I purchased this as a birthday gift for my brother, a beer connoisseur. He reports it is only slightly less incredible than the finest beer he has ever had. On a scale of one to 10 he gave it a 9.8.
