Up until now in my beer drinking career, I haven't much cared for the Belgian beers - they always seem too light to me, a bit of floral/fruity tasting, and just not really my style of beer.

And then a trusted beer friend I know suggested a St. Bernardus ABT 12.

Figuring I'd give this a valiant effort, I even went out and bought one of the beer glasses it shows a picture of on the bottle, rather than using a traditional pint glass, in hopes of heightening this experience.

While the first few sips (this isn't a beer you would chug) still had that light, floral, borderline bitter taste to it, I eventually warmed up to it. Absolutely fantastic beer!

Any other suggestions in terms of Belgians? I've tried the Chimays and Duvels.
