#Repost @colvinology St Bernardus Abt 12, an absolutely world class 10% Belgian Quadrupel from Brouwerij St. Bernardus (@stbernardus), and the Master Grade 0RX-013 Gundam Mk-V . Hey. This is one of my favorite beers of all time. I've been drinking it pretty much since I got into beer, and it's been a while since I reviewed it, so let's do an update. The nose is dark and malty, with aromas of dark rye bread, molasses, caramel, roasted malts, dried fruit, and Belgian yeast. The sip has a malty smoothness that I've seen a lot of beers emulate, but very few successfully replicate. The sip starts off with a malty, almost sweet brown sugar and molasses flavor, along with just a bit of burnt sugar bitterness. Flavors of raisins and dates pour in afterwards and a nice, hefty hit of rum-soaked rye bread shows up right towards the end. Those bitter flavors stay mild, but linger between sips, where they meet the last of those leftover bread and fruit flavors and melt into a boozy, warming finish. One of the first styles of beer I knew I really loved was Belgian Trappist ales. Bernardus then, has the benefit of not just being one of the best quadrupels I've ever had, but also being freely available literally anywhere with a decent beer selection. I honestly can't think of a bottle shop I've been to in the last 10 years that didn't have some Bernardus on the shelf. What I'm saying is, if you haven't had this one, I'm reasonably certain just about everyone in several countries can go out and basically trip over some. There's not much else to say here; some beers don't age well, but no matter how much my palate grows or changes, A chilly bottle of this always hits the spot. Truly and completely a world class beer. . Oh, and while I have you...kinda bullshit that the Gundam Mk-V was a P-Bandai release, right? It honestly a kickass kit and nobody can't find one anymore.
