I really like this beer. For a belgian, it is very easy to drink. Has a rich deep malt flavor with a spicy sweet backbone. Very well balanced.

12oz bottles: Mildly cloudy, moderate brown color with large off white head. Aroma has lots of caramel, touch of cherry, hint of vanilla, faint hint of alcohol. Flavor is malty, slightly grainy, fair amount of caramel, bit of vanilla. Finish is balanced, with a bit of a harsh bitterness in the finish. A nice brew, doesn’t fit into a clear style, but I think I like that.

Pours a murky brown with a sizeable white head. Non-descript fruity aroma. Flavor is dark malt, not quite as sweet as I expected ... mild, dry fruitness with yeast and a touch of wooden cask. Very little hop presence. Not bad overall.

Nice, but not quite as good as the other St. Bernardus brews. Fruity with just a hint of slightly funky yeast.

Poured Pater 6 into St. Bernard glass. Found a variety 4-pack with glass for only $15. Pours a plum colored purple with a two finger head. Excellent lacing. I’m following this up after having the Prior 8. In comparison, I find this to have more fruit notes, like plum and raisin. Has a slightly bitter finish with a chocolate twinge. Everything I have tried from St. Bernard is top-shelf.

Bottle. Cloudy copper with quite a big head. Complex fruity aromas. Yeasty and chocolate flavours, some fruit. Medium carbonation, but quite full-bodied. Nice.

Huge, thick, bubbly tan head. Dark amber-brown color. Sweet, brown sugary, malty, fruity aroma with some hop presence and some light spiciness. Mouth-watering dark candi sugar and sweet malt flavors, with dried dark fruits (cherries, raisins, dates, figs), fresh apples, caramel, a hint of cocoa, and a hint of hops. Smooth, silky, velvety mouthfeel that dries up nicely in the finish. Really great stuff, well balanced and with a huge range of flavors. St. Bernard Brouwerij never disappoints.
