St Bernardus Abt 12

St. Bernardus Abt 12 is a Belgian quadrupel, not a lager, brewed by the St. Bernardus abbey brewery in Watou, Belgium. Big, dark, and complex, with dried fruit, dark sugar, and a warmth that comes from the alcohol rather than any heat. This is a slow-sipping beer, best for a quiet evening when you actually have time to pay attention to what is in the glass.
