Biere des Grottes 6.5° C - 1/3L Ref: BB20136Z Josh's translation of the french description..."Aged in the caves of Kanne, where the exceptional climatic circumstances give it a unique aroma and flavour without equal." In the U.S., the label will read "Grotten Brown Belgian Cave-Aged Ale." Bottle pours a red brown, fairly dark, but fairly clear. The head was average leaving very little lace. The aroma was quite sweet, malty, light dark fruits, and deceptive. I say deceptive due to the flavor seeming much drier than the aroma. The flavor has a heavy malt backbone, but a quick dry finish with some hops that show through. There is a lingering sweetness, but only minor. The palate is nice and cleansing and works well with the dry side of the profile. Related products: 1. St Bernardus Pater 6°-1/3L 2. Malmedy Bruin 7°C - 33Cl

St Bernardus Abt 12°-1/3L Ref: BB20006 This represents the top of the range in the Saint-Bernadus portfolio of beers and it has undoubtedly the highest alcohol content too ( 10.4%). It is also the beer that is closest in taste and distinctive characteristics to its Trappist beers. It has a good deal of character and is well rounded, which at the forefront an impression of smoothness which rapidly creates a rapport between its taste and your palate. Its strong volume of alcohol does not diminish its flavor, which truly remains amongst the best in this category. This beer poured a dark amber color and formed an off white sudsy head that left circular lace. A good deal of carbonation was present. It had an aroma of malt, caramel and fruit. A flavor of malt, caramel and spicy fruit. A very strong flavor element and finish going on with this beer. A very impressive beer. Related products: 1. Abbey St- Bernardus Glass 2.

St Bernardus Pater 6°-1/3L Ref: BB20008 Its name has become a reference. Very often, it is described or ordered by its " first name". Although its volume of alcohol is 7.1%, it is light in taste with a very slight fruity aftertaste, which is just enough to remind drinkers that it is a beer brewed in West Flanders. It should also be pointed out that the Saint-Bernadus brewery uses local hops. Hazy dark brown colour. Huge iridescent head of cumulus cloud consistency. Yeasty aroma with liquorice and burnt rubber. Plums and berries coming through as oxidation occurs. Malt flavours with a slight fruit sweetness and a quite hint of cocoa. Medium body, but getting a little watery toward the finish. No detectable aftertaste, strangely unexpected. Softly astringent with hints of tobacco and a peppery spiciness from the hops. Related products: 1. Abbey St- Bernardus Glass 2. Rochefort 6°-1/3L 3. Pater Lieven Bruin 6,5° - 1/3L

St Bernardus Prior 8°-1/3L Ref: BB20007 Cast in the same mold as the Pater, the Prior 8, which has a higher volume of alcohol ( 8.3%), is a more noble and distinctive beer. Its aromatic flavor brings to mind the Trappist beer of Saint-Sixtus. What makes it stand out are primarily its qualities as an aperitif Pours a color that is both dark ruby, brown and orange. The persistent head is tan/off-white. The aroma is both fruity and yeasty, and is made up of cherries, plums, bread, honey, and currant. The flavors are quite nice, most of the fruit is evident, as is a bit of toffee and chocolate. A nice feel in the mouth and a moderate finish. Related products: 1. Abbey St- Bernardus Glass 2.

St Bernardus Triple 7°-1/3L Ref: BB20005Z Neither pale colored, not too strong in alcoholic content ( 7%), this triple Saint-Bernadus is decidely less aggressive in its taste than other beers in the same category. Nevertheless its aroma is very present, and its mellow flavor is subtly reinforced by a discreet bitterness, which strikes a balance between malt and hops, with a fruity taste. To a certain extent it corresponds to the wish expressed by the brewers of Saint-Bernadus to produce a beer likely to please women. Deep golden-orange in color, huge foamy head that sticks around forever, spicy yeasty aroma of cotton candy. Sweet fruity flavors like banana bread, full body with a soft and creamy mouthfeel, has a sticky candy sweet finish, alcohol very well hidden, a great tripple. Related products: 1.

St Bernardus White 5.5° - 33cl Ref: BB28059Z Cloudy and hazy pale golden color, spicy, earthy citrus aromas, nice white creamy head that sticks to the sides of my glass. Fresh lemons and mild spice flavors, crisp carbonated mouthfeel, finishes clean and dry with a touch of orange, great for the style, a very drinkable and refreshing brew.

Watou Triple 7°C - 33Cl Ref: BB22024C Good orange hazy color with a thin layer of creamy foam on it. Aroma is a wash with strong fruity flavors. The usual citrus notes are there, then some hints of dates and fig. The flavor is just as parallel with the usual flavors that one should expect, but then there is good mix of sweetness that’s the real pay dirt. There is a little bit of purple grapes in the flavor. The palate is quite crisp, and really pleases. Related products: 1. Abbey St- Bernardus Glass 2. Karmeliet Tripel 8°-1/3L 3. Pater Lieven Triple 8° - 1/3L
