Southampton Abbot 12
From Southampton – A strong, dark ale with notes of raisins, figs, and caramel, and a pronounced “dark rum” character. Deceptively smooth at 10.5% alcohol, this strong ale is ideal as an after-dinner sipping brew.
Southampton Publick House – Southampton Abbot 12 – 750 ml. bottle poured into a goblet. 10.5% abv. From online trade.
Appearance: Pours a reddish dark brown with a white fluffy head that subsides to an 1/8 inch film.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Yogurt covered dark fruit and Belgian yeast.
Taste: Burnt sugar, pecan, spicy hops, dark bread. Finishes semi-sweet.
Mouthfeel: Thick with high carbonation.
Overall: A very well done Belgian-style Quad, not anything like Westy or St. Bernardus Abt 12 or Rochefort 12.
