This Trappist, also called the Flemish Burgundy, is dark amber in color and has a stable, strongly adhesive, white foam collar. Westvleteren 12 is masterful in its complexity but delicious in its simplicity. The sublime soft taste of caramel and chocolate goes perfectly with the raisin-sucety and nutty notes in the aroma. Together with the firm alcohol content, this results in a soothing fullness and a nice, long-flated warm aftertaste.
