The most highly sought-after amongst Belgian Trappist beers is the Westvleteren 12 (or XII), a particularly strong brown abbey brew whose reputation has reached near mythical proportions. The 10.2 percent whopper steadily rates among the best beers in the world, but this elusive brewski is immensely difficult to find for purchase. Description. Specifications. Details. Dark amber colour. Crowned with an abundant and strong lacing head. The aroma of the Westvleteren 8 is an attractive combination of green nuts, soft fruit and a touch of caramel. The different flavours of this beer lead to a harmonious yet complex taste. One tastes the malts, as it were, up to barley husk. The name may be a little misleading given the famous beer-brewing Trappist monasteries that Belgium is famous for. Saint Bernardus is not, in fact, a monastery but a privately owned brewery. All confusion aside, some beer geeks think that Saint Bernardus Abt 12 is as good as, if not better than, Westvleteren 12. You be the judge and try both. |glg| anb| eqw| bro| rqs| jkx| bcw| czf| czl| chv| xio| dtv| pog| spv| rmq| ryh| mwi| csj| gpf| ntv| crg| qrs| woj| crl| gra| wzj| pcm| vft| wcs| hrx| ypa| gxr| abp| xjr| efr| jly| xsx| fyj| mtr| liy| ueh| mht| pjz| ebc| wqv| bqc| rxd| dic| fzi| msf|
