Overall similarity
HOPIQ TAKE
10 e lode if you want a leaner, more cerebral quad that won't floor you, St. Bernardus Abt 12 if you want the full richness and complexity that justifies the style's reputation. They're only 0.5% apart in ABV, but it's the difference between "elegant" and "cathedral." The 10 e lode drinks like a quad that respects your palate; the Abt 12 drinks like a quad that wants to take over your evening.
