Corsendonk Pater (Abbey Brown Ale)

Brewed by Du Bocq
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Purnode-Yvoir, Belgium

A beer with a fanstastic aroma and a very beutiful head. It has a very beutiful amber color. And has a great filling taste with hints of fruit.

(Bottle 25 cl) Hazy brown, almost muddy appearance. Lots of aroma from the malts, extremely aromatic and pleasant. A bit on the dry side for a "Dubbel" making this easier to drink than some of it’s brothers. Has been marketed extensively in recent years, but seems to have maintained all it’s qualities. 020893

Bottled. Mid-brown with rich head. Mild and honeyish with soft, livley mouthfeel. Fairly dry with a bit of caramel. Gentle, complex and well balanced.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown, almost black, and with lacing tan head. Aroma is yeasty, caramel malt and a light fruity note. Flavour is dark malty, caramel and with a light spiced note. A solid fruity flavour takes over before the finish. Fruity and yeasty spiced finish. Light bitterness and a lingering fruity note. Reminds a lot about Wetvleteren 8/12, lovely.

Bottle. Rusty/dark brown with white head. Dark fruits. Smooth feel in the mouth.´Medium carbonated. The sweetness and bitterness in the finish goes along well.

Bottle at KØ07. Very nice appearance, very dark brown, mahogany colour. Very small light brown head. Weak, roasted aroma. The flavour has an estery fruitiness, moderate but noticable. OK malt flavour, but quite common. Weak, thin finish.

Bottled. Dark amberish ruby colour with huge beige head. Lacing. Aroma is caramel, citrusfruit malts and sugar. Slight alcoholic hints also. Flavour is yeast, hops, grass and some caramel. Felt kind of "watery" and empty while being cold, but once it got warmer it got very smooth and pleasant.

Bottled. Red brown coloured with a huge solid beige head. Aroma of spices, yeast and herbs. Very carbonated. Flavour of spices, fruit and yeast. Typical belgian dubbel.
