Commercial Description:Westvleteren has the smallest output of the Trappist breweries, with only a small part of their production available outside of Belgium.

The consensus #1 Beer in the world. Very rich and flavorful. Difficult to acquire even for Belgians.
NOTE: Beer came back from the Belgium with John - wonderful surprise it was. Had to make a dinner though...
St. Sixtus Abbey - Westvleteren Extra 8 - at the Belgian Beer Festival in Brussels.
Dark reddish brown with a rich creamy head. Flavors of tart dried fruits with a long well balanced bitter and sweet duration that wraps around the tongue. Nearly impossible to find outside of Belgium and quite hard to get even there.
NOTE: Birthday present. Wonderful birthday present!!!
NOTE: Ready to try one more. We were little bit sceptic about that one. Turned out we were right.
