This is a beautiful see-through reddish beer with an off-white head. Teh aroma is strong on the malt with very little hoppy tones, if any. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, maybe a little high in carbonation. The flavour is a bit boring. More malrt than anything else with a hint of spice.

This is Big Rock's version of Newcastle Brown Ale, only it's a superior brew in my opinion. The beer is brown with a tan coloured head. The aroma is malty and nutty with a slight hoppy hint. The mouthfeel is creamy with just mild carbonation and a dry bite. The flavour is nutty with a nice hoppish bite.

This beer is a reddish copper colour with a thin white head. The aroma is very malty with some caramel and hoppish tones. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and mild carbonation. The flavour was a combination of toffee and malt with a finishing kick of bitterness.

This is a golden-yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is weakly malty with just a hint of wheat. The mouthfeel is thin, with champagne-like carbonation. The flavour is complex, malty, hoppy, and wheaty tones all come through resulting in a very drinkable beer.

This is a dark brown beer that has a light brown head. The aroma is dominated by burnt wood, with a little malty hint. The mouthfeel was thin and watery. The flavour was watery as well, nothing dominated the taste buds at all.

This is an orange coloured beer which has a very hoppy aroma. The head was white, thin, and stayed with th beer all the way down. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, carbonation is mild, and there is a bitterness on the tongue. The flavour is hoppy, malty, and a grapefruit twist.

This beer appears copper coloured in the glass, off-white head, very attractive. The aroma is hops and caramel with some hints of malt. The mouthfeel is full-bodied, mildly carbonated, and dry. The flavour is hoppy with a white grapefruit finish.

The so-called Holy Grail of brews. I'm not sure it's as good as their cousin's abbey quadrupel down the street at Brouwerij St. Bernard, nonetheless, it's a mighty fine brew worthy of the acclaim it's been accorded. An excellent sampling of the finest trappist ales one can buy (even if you have to jump on a plane and go to a conference in Belgium to get some).

Another true great beer produced from within the brewery walls of St. Bernard. It's a known fact that St. Bernards carry this brew in their casks and not brandy (or at least that is what I want to believe). The beer pours a murky golden brown with the same generous head of the Abt 12. The flavour is more malty than the Abt 12, and a tad less creamy
