The Abt 12 of the St. Bernardus Brewery is a very dark, black-brown beer with a long-lasting, creamy head. The Abt 12 has a fruity aroma, but it also smells malty and offers fine wheat notes. The taste is dry, the mouthfeel is full-bodied and oily. The finish is characterized by caramel notes and a long-lasting bitterness.
