TASTING NOTES

The Westvleteren 12 is a classic Belgian Quad. The taste originates from dark fruits like raisins and plums, also a clear taste of vanilla and honey is recognizable, these ingredients give the beer a sweet aroma. The taste of Westvleteren 12 opens up after a while as the beer warms up, when it settles the bubble continue to set up from the nucleation which makes for a long lasting foam on top of the body. With the carbonation being so lively and the texture so slick, it’s beer with a refreshing but dark body.
