Ah.

I have seen this particular variant of the St Bernardus Abt 12; if memory serves, it is a seasonal - and somewhat stronger, or more robust, - version of the traditional 'quadrupel' style of the St Bernardus Abt 12.

Let us know how you find it, and I hope you enjoy it.
Always in stock act my local liquor store Total Wine and More as well as a bar not far from my home.

In a coffee shop.

As I mentioned earlier, this is a terrific beer.

However, - as your attached image suggests - if it can be served in the appropriate goblet, or chalice, - as depicted in the picture - it looks - and - more importantly - tastes - even better.

Enjoy; they both look delicious.

In all my years of drinking/computering (?) ive never spilled on my precious!!!

No, neither have I, but the proximity of your beer to your computer caused a raised eyebrow, or a pursed lip.

My precious is at least a nice, full, foot away from my beer, the latter, standing to attention in its beer glass, a proper Belgian chalice, on a solid leather coaster.

And my wife wanted to get one of her drinks up here too, even though she drinks cider. This Grand Mimosa from Ciderboys is actually quite good.

Never mind it being in the St. Bernardus glass, this Gouden Carolus Easter is very nice! Sweet, but not overpowering. I first tried the Noel in December, so decided to give this a try also.

Last night I enjoyed a bottle of Goose Island Lolita - what a perfectly enjoyable sour! Rasberry smell, and the sour bite on the end of that first sip grabs you and just wont let go

Love the St Bernardus Abt 12 - a great beer.

Must admit that I know next to nothing about the Grand Mimosa, but I don't drink cocktails, instead, resting quite content with beer and wine.

Ah, yes, agreed: The Gulden Carolus is an excellent beer, and, as for serving it in a St Bernardus glass, why, I do that all the time.
