Barb on Beer reviews one of the most highly rated beers in the world - St. Bernardus Abt 12. For more information on big beers, go to Barb on Beer at http://www.BarbOnBeer.com
A agree with ChadzBeerReviews, she must be confusing this with Westvleteren. St. Bernardus used to brew for Westvleteren but they split years ago with the monks at Westvleteren brewing their own. Although St Bernardus 12 is a great beer and highly rated, it is Westvleteren that is generally rated as the world's best beer by most beer rating services. I have had both, in Belgium, and both are great beers. However, clearly Westvleteren was, in my opinion, the better of the two.

I think you're thinking of Westvleteran 12 - that's a Trappist beer and is only sold at their brewpub in Belgium.
St. Bernardus is an abbey ale, not a Trappist. Although I've heard that Abt 12 is close to Westy 12.
