I bought this Quadrupel ale, Westvleteren 12 at the Abby St. Sixtus gift shop in the Abby restaurant. I was on a Belgian Beer Me tour in Westvleteren, Belgium. I have previously reviewed the Dubbel and Blonde beer from them as well. This beer is 10.2% ABV. This quad pours a rich dark brown with a two-finger creamy beige head. The head is prolonged to dissipate. The aroma is dark, rich, and sweet. It has a dark candy aroma. The flavor is rich, dark, sweet (licorice), smooth, strong, and light-boozy. This has a cream and medium feeling in the mouth. The smooth finish of this beer is rich and sweet. There is a little cocoa note. The aftertaste is lightly sweet but smooth with a faint bitterness. This is an excellent quadrupel ale, that is an A+. It has everything you’d expect in a quad in a very delicious manner. I would not pass on this beer if you ever come across it or any Westvleteren beers. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
