Belgian Strong Ale 10 º 20 IBU

Brouwerij St. Bernardus

This Belgian Winter Seasonal Beer is a masterclass in complexity, built upon a rich Quadrupel foundation. It pours a deep, mahogany brown with a thick, cream-colored head. The aroma is dominated by the legendary St. Bernardus house yeast, delivering spicy phenols and fruity esters. On the palate, a luxurious tapestry of fermented molasses, marzipan, and licorice unfolds, accented by unique notes of mint and aniseed. Hints of fire-roasted chestnuts and dark chocolate provide depth, while dried apricots add a subtle tartness. The high alcohol provides a graceful, integrated warmth, finishing with a lingering sweetness of creamy caramel and dark fruit.

Appearance. Very dark brown to mahogany (30-35 SRM) with deep ruby highlights. Large, dense, persistent cream-colored head with excellent lacing. Clear, though nearly opaque due to depth of color.

Aroma. High intensity. Complex malt profile of caramel, toasted bread, and roasted chestnuts. Pronounced spicy yeast character with deep stone fruit esters like dried apricot and plum. Distinctive notes of molasses, aniseed, and a faint, cool minty herbal quality. Alcohol is noticeable but smooth and supportive.

Taste. Rich, sweet initial impression of dark candi sugar and molasses. Deep malt flavors of caramel, chocolate, and toasted nuts. Fruit character is prominent with dried apricot, raisin, and fig. Mid-palate introduces spicy licorice and marzipan. Hop bitterness is low, providing just enough balance for the brewing sugars. Finishes long and warming with a complex interplay of spicy yeast and dried fruits.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a malty thickness. Moderate to high carbonation provides a creamy, scrubbing sensation. Significant but well-integrated alcohol warmth. Smooth, velvety texture with no astringency.

BREWERY INFO
Brouwerij St.BernardusNot long after the Second World War, Evariste Deconinck was invited by the Trappist monks at Westvleteren to brew and market their Trappist beers under licence, originally covering a 30-year period. Brewmaster Mathieu Szafranski (who was of Polish descent) brought his considerable know-how to the new site, bringing both recipes and the famed St Sixtus yeast as a new brewery was established right next to the cheese workshop. The cheese-making business was sold in 1959 with the equipment and the brand name going to the Poperinge milk dairy, St.Bertinus, which would later itself be acquired by the Elvapo group. In 1986 Belgomilk took over the business. In the early 1960s Guy Claus, the husband of Bernadette Deconinck (the daughter of Evariste) joined the brewery, opening up the opportunity for talks with Westvleteren Abbey to renew the licence agreement. In 1962 a new 30-year deal was signed to keep the beer flowing until 1992.
