The absolute top quality in the hierarchy of the St. Bernardus beers. It is also the beer with the highest alcohol content. A dark ivory coloured beer with a high fermentation. The show piece of the brewery. Thanks to its soft and unconditionally genuine aroma, the beer can be smoothly tasted. The Abt has a very fruity flavour.

"10% ABV- Another solid Belgian in the books! This is one of my favorite styles for sure. Appearance is brown and murky/muddy. Love the balance here with the distinguished hop finish. Lots of carbonation when first opened, but settles down towards the end. This actually took me 3 nights to drink.....glass here, glass there, etc. I start late and crash hard! Almost did it in 2 sittings, but left about 6 oz. to finish now. Definitely a good bottle to share with a friend or two. Sort of what Brooklyn Local #1 was shooting for."

"Yet another quality brew from Belgium. Not sure how they do it but I guess they are the ones to get this style of brew right. Pours a nice dark brown, color some what hazy, full of malt, with toasted hints with, nut and biscuit. A little expensive for everyday, but a nice treat. "

"I've had this a couple of times now, and it's very enjoyable. Slightly sweet, with a very pleasant aroma. I would almost prefer this over the Trappistes Rochefort 10. Almost. "

"Aroma of biscuits and slight fruit notes (figs?). Huge two-finger head that sticks around, with nice lacing. Medium-bodied mouthfeel, with a hoppy flavor and slight sweet malt aftertaste. Wishlist Chekov from 9/13/2009."

[5] Review by jkbpill from Birmingham, AL, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/18/2009 7:02:16 PM)
"This beer lived up to its name and the hype. It poured dark with a hint of red and it had an huge head on it that lingered through most of the beer. The ABV caused the beer to have a nice warming effect but not over powering. The aroma was malty with a hint of caramel but the taste had a slight fruitiness to it. Good Beer."
