Corsendonk Pater (Abbey Brown Ale)

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

Pours clear dark brownish with light tan head. Aromas of dark fruits, caramel, dough and some bananas. Flavor is sweet and malty with a slightly metallic finish. Creamy mouthfeel with lots of carbonation. Medium body. Very nice dubbel.

Rather woody aroma. Not like barrel aged oaky, but like beechwood chips. This carries through to the rather surprisingly dry flavor. A hint of tartness on the midpalate. Not bad.

Pours a clear dark rusty brown with a large light brown fluffy, moussey head that persists for a long time. Nose of dark fruits, nuts and malts. Smokey taste of dark fruits. Noticeable flavor resemblances to a port wine or cognac. Nice sweet smoky finish.

Nice brown look to it with a fluffy off color head. Nice fruity dark flavor with a hint of chocolate and smoke

Strong aroma of yeast with some sweetness mixed in (dark fruits). Highly carbonated, lively on the palate. Yeast flavors w/ dark fruit ending with a nice smoked flavor.

A nice dark brown with an inch of ivory head, the head remains throughout. Smells of earth and hops and toasted malts. The mouth is immediatley met by the taste of toasted malts and port and finally a hint of chocolate. Rich and creamy in the mouth, a bit heavy on the carbonation. Great after taste. Very drinkable. Wish I’d bought more than one. I’ll definately buy this one again. Serving type: bottle
