3/5. De Struise turns out a Swedish strawberry blonde, but it didn’t have me captivated.

Sint Bernardus Christmas Ale

4/5. Stronger and less smooth than the 12 Abt but with many of the same flavours – definitely a winter warmer.

Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.

I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.

I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.
