For this sweet flavoured and dark brown beer,we use aromatic malt (for the dark colour). For abbey beer, Kapittel Pater has rather low abv (6%). The hop we use is Poperingse hop which has only a light bitter taste.

Bottle. Slight smoked aroma with coffee and roasted hops. Cloudy amber appearance. Thin white head. Sweet caramel flavour, sweet and sickly texture. Not a fan on this one. Promising start, but not enjoying the whole bottle.

Bottle-pour... color is muddy copper-brown. Aroma is similiar to other Abbey-style brews. Flavor is slightly sugary, malty, with some grassiness. Delicious. A great Abbey-style beer for anytime drinking. Does not require a special occasion.

Bottle, bought @ Vinspecialisten, Kolding Storcenter.
Pours a muddy redish brown with a very pretty, creamy off white head. Malty aroma with some caramel and Belgian sugars. There is some degree of dried fruits as well. Okay mouthfeel with a relatively high carbonation for the style. Flavour is initially rather sugar-sweet with some plums, a light metallic off-flavour, and a very nice peppery bitter finish. It even manages to become a little dry in the palate.

scura buona schiuma persistente sentori di caramello lieve tostato leggermente speziato in bocca poco attenuata caramello luppolo poco ma ben bilanciata il dolce non invastidisce troppo la la lieve acidità la rende fresca

Not a huge fan of of the Trappist style. However this one I entirely like. Pours a rather strange colour that Im having trouble finding words for. Someone earlier describes it as cloudy brown and I will go with that. Beautiful. The aroma is very nice present but not powerful. Has a bread tone to it. Flavor is mildly nutty with some sort of sweetness. Coats the mouth nicely. The thickness matches the colour perfectly.

Bottle from Bier Tempel. Dark ale with large rocky head. Nutty, some sourness in the background, growing in the finish. Lots of candy sugar, leaves a syrupy mough feel.

cloudy brown with a small frothy off-white head. aroma of caramel and dark fruit, similar to the abt but with a darker note. flavor is caramel, a touch of chocolate, and an annoying metallic aftertaste. not nearly as good as the abt.
