St. Bernardus  
Watou, Belgium    
     

Abt 12

10.0% ABV 33cl
     
St Bernardus is an Abbey brewery. Similar to the Belgium tradition of Trappist brewing the main difference is 'Abbey' breweries are true commercial ventures were Trappist breweries are there to provide funds for the Monastic order alone.

This rich dark beer has a tight off white head. This is another strong 'sipping' beer with notes of dried fruit. An excellent example of the style.
