St. Bernardus Pater 6

Brewed by St. Bernard Brouwerij
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Watou, Belgium

Brown. Modest tan head. Dark fruits, dark candi sugar, burnt caramel/toffee, and dough in the aroma. Same flavors. Medium/full body, too much carbonation, doesn’t allow the beer to settle on the palate. Decent.

Brown/copper in color this poured a fine thick head that slowly dissipated. The nose was filled with dark caramel, dates, raisen, cherry and a mineral edge. In the mouth it was lighter than it looked with an elegance to it. The midpalate was soft and well-balanced but lacked punch. When drank the bubbles attack the tounge which keeps this light and elegant.

A dark brown pour with hints of red. The head was certainly brown tint. Sweet but carbonation tastes forced, and body looks weak. Taste as well feels watered down. Not as bad as i wrote it out be, but better belgians out there.

Rich dark brown body with large frothy mocha coloured head. Lots of yeast and raisin, very vinous smell. Slightly candy sugar sweet but very malty and rich with a somewhat creamy comfortable mounthfeel. Finshes with a nice bittering effect that begs me back for more.

pours a thin head, color of alabama sweet tea

smells of raisin, cake batter

tastes like butter, sugar, mild caramel

Pours a dark caramel amber with a medium, yet well retained light frothy brown head. Smells of big Belgian yeast, candy sugar, sweet dark fruits including plums and figs. Very Belgian smelling, quite standard. The flavor is much the same, good amount of sweet fruits to it, in fact that was mostly what I got. Decent amount of Belgian candy sugar and yeast. Very standard Belgian ale, but good flavor, nice palate, solid.

Red/brown with a nice, creamy head that leaves a nice lace. The aroma has notes of yeast, caramel and hops. The mouthfeel is thin and the carbonation is high. The initial flavours are roasted malt, plum, caramel, citrus and bitterness. The two latter lasts during the long finish, where I also find a brief notes of caramel.

Bottle from a St. Bernardus variety pack. A dark reddish brown color with tan head. Nice lacing on the glass. Caramel and sugary tastes dominate with an alcohol aftertaste. Definitely the lesser, slightly water-downed version of the St Bernardus belgians, but it was decent overall.
