WESTVLETEREN XII
(Gift Pack includes 6 bottles and 2 chalices)
This beer has been consistently rated "the best beer in the world" by most beer critics and experts around the world.
Visual: A very dark brown, with cherry hues. Pours like coffee liqueur.
Nose: Slightly vinous, possibly red wine. Cream, raisins. Mint leaves and toffee. Malt loaf mixes with candy floss and banana. Brown sugar granules and malt room turnings. A refreshing feel to the air overall.
Body: Brown sugar. Plums. Very smooth and creamy. Figs, or in fact an overwhelming range of dark fruits. Banana yogurt. Toffee. Milk chocolate and raisins.
Finish: Lots of plum pudding, with a sugar dusting. Caramel and milk chocolate. Figs again, which lead into bitter chocolaty undertones.
This is the only time that Westvleteren XII will be available in Canada. The Trappist monks have released a small quantity of this beer to Canada to finance the building of their new abbey.
Suggested Retail Value - $80 per gift pack
We are pre-selling with a $40 deposit and the balance due when the beer arrives (Mid July, 2012).
