The last St. Bernardus labeled beer. I have one more that came in the six pack that isn't labeled St. Bernardus.
This beer has sweet caramel aroma with some spice notes. The color is a dark brown with some red highlights. The foam starts thick but again fizzes away.
The beer has a bunch of dark malts flavors, starting with some dark malt sweetness. There is some earthy taste to this beer and some alcohol flavors that are not blending well with the other tastes. The traditional Belgium spice flavors are missing from this beer. The finish is very bitter.
This is not a very good beer. I can finish drinking it but this is by no means a good beer. Lots of conflicting flavors, making the beer not enjoyably. I sure hope other Belgium beers turn out better than these St. Bernardus and I don't have a skewed view of Belgian beers.

If you don't like that, you probably don't like Belgian beers (yet).
I would have to agree with you to some point. I really liked the Chimay beers, but these St. Bernardus just haven't been what I want. I have a few more Belgians in the fridge to drink.
Oh man, Abt 12 is one of my favoirte beers of all time.
Seriously if you don't like this, you just don't like Trappist ale period.
