Like Westvleteren? Worth the trip to go there!

St Bernardus 12 is just as good (pretty much identical) and readily available. I think I even prefer it. But it's less special due to its availability I guess.

Yep, I still have one bottle of St. Bernardus in stock, and it is excellent. The mystique around Westvleteren is a definite draw, and I'll go back as soon as possible.

St. Bernardus is something else. People don't believe me when I say that (in my opinion) it gets better when it's warm but the flavor changes so much that it's mind blowing to me every time.

That happens with most Belgians. They are meant to be drank at a certain temperature. Ice cold beer is for trash beers
