Good reminder. I have the same St Bernarbus 12 to try alongside my Belgian Strong, which has been in bottle for 15 months! I and others were happy with the beer, just never got around to trying alongside a commercial example.
Interesting video, I don’t get a cholate taste in Westvleteren 12 it’s more Carmel and so is the color. Also, in my opinion there is a good difference in the taste between westvleteren 12 and St Bernarbus 12 and again “in my opinion” Westvleteren is much better. That said I do like St Bernarbus 12 so I’m not knocking it. Did you ever do an update video on tasting you medieval beer one year later?
I come from Belgium and it hurt to hear you saying st bernardus abt12 is a classic Belgian quad you fond in convenience store 😢, at the very beginning, it was the exact same receip as the weslvleteren. So yes obviously it is a great beer 😅
Great beer! Genus brewing made a really point about "copy beers" in one of their live streams and it was essentially that even with the exact same ingredients and equipment, two brewers will always make slightly different beers. As an aside, it's so weird for me to see your daughter grow up at exactly the same pace as my son. (He makes those silly noises too and has the same amount of teeth). Must say, I'm very impressed you've kept this much brewing up with a small child.
Great video. What does adding the candi syrup after fermentation has started do for it? I add it with ten minutes left in the boil. And the beers tastes great and they finish 1.015 or below. But I am open to different ideas if there is a benefit to waiting for that addition. Also, I started re-fermenting in the bottles all of my Belgian ales and its made a big difference. Tasted more “authentic” to me.
You should try reading the BJCP style guidelines when you sample beers. I have started doing this when comparing beers and it is really interesting to see what I have and what I am missing.
Bring back the tasting videos!

I mainly did it during fermentation because I messed up my boil calculations, but I think in the boil would be enough normally.

I've done it before...I should bring it back!
