St. Bernardus “Abt 12 Special Edition”
Year 2006 marks the 60th Anniversary of the brewery St. Bernard. The brewery was established in 1946 with a sole purpose to commercially brew St. Sixtus Trappist Abbey ales until 1992, when their agreement ended.
St. Bernardus Abt 12 is still made according to the same original recipe from 1946 and is recognized as one of the best ales in the world. This Special Edition of Abt 12 (11% abv) will be available in an attractive metal container and was brewed for that occasion by brew master Bert Van Hecke. Bert is paying tribute not only to the brewery, but also to the hop growers from Poperinge region of West Flanders by using their Challenger and Golding hops together with black, amber, Munich and pale ale malts. A perfect gift for anyone who loves beer.
Jerome “Cerveza Negra”
This Argentinean beauty is an excellent Schwarz bier style. Light in body, black malt roastiness, and a light silky caramel. It is also brewed with Patagonian Cascade hops.
Jerome “Cerveza Roja”
This imported amber goes down smooth with a light crystal malt flavor and a touch of bitterness at the finish.
Jerome “Cerveza Rubia”
Golden in color this beer has a nice floral hop character and is light on the malt without being sweet.
Jerome “Cerveza Diablo”
A little stronger than its brothers. This amber has more malt than the Roja, bigger body and a smother finish.
Avery “Samael’s Oak-aged Ale”
Holly Crap!!!!! This is one powerful, flavorful, sneak up behind you and hit you in the back of the head kind of beer. Big, big malt like an English Old ale and fruity esters like a Belgian. At 14.5% it is a behemoth that should be server well chilled and enjoyed slowly...with a friend....while sitting down. Not even “The Beast” could take on “Samael”. A+++ IMHO.
