Its smooth, medium-heavy body encompasses elaborate flavors of raisin, fig, moderate sweet caramel and dark stone fruits all expertly complimented by classic, time-honored Belgian yeast character. Northy 12's striking deep mahogany complexion and creamy, frothy foam cap are truly a beauty to behold. Be sure to exercise patience with this beer - months of aging will help achieve true beer enlightenment.

If you enjoyed Midwesty 12 Belgian Quad, you'll love this kit!
After taking the time to make this beer, it lived up to its reputation. I have not tasted the actual Westy 12, but this is a thick, malty, boozy, dark red delight. The time is really the only tough part. Once it got into my 3-tap system, it became very popular. We are considering giving it a permanent spot next to an ever-present NEIPA. I am currently waiting on another batch to ferment out before drinking that last pull out of the first keg.
