This Trappist, also referred to as the Flemish Burgundy, has a dark amber color, a stable, strong lacing and a white head. Westvleteren 12 is a masterpiece in its complexity but wonderful in its simplicity. The exquisite smooth taste of caramel and chocolate goes perfectly well with the sweet raisin and nutty notes in the aroma. Together with the firm alcohol percentage, it results in a pleasant full-bodied, long-lasting and warm aftertaste.
The monks of Westvleteren apply the traditional infusion brew method, only using natural ingredients. First of all warm water and scraped barley malt are mixed together. The mash is heated until the present starch is converted to sugars. The sediment forms a layer of filter. The bright filtrate that is obtained is called wort. Next the wort is heated and hops are added after which the boiled wort is cooled down.
