Corsendonk Pater (Abbey Brown Ale)

Pours a cloudy brown with a lasting tan head. Sweet malty aromas, spicy belgian yeast and a hint of alcohol. Heavy dose of malt in the flavour, some yeast, chocolate. The palate is a bit thinner than I expected but otherwise a good beer.

Dark ruby, big beige head that quickly subsides, slightly tart rich malt aroma and flavor, chocolate fiqs, tartness subsides into a fine mellow brew, if only summits could get this quality from their lines, a decent sized glass too

dark brown with ruby highlights, frothy off white head, light bitter dark malt aroma, uninspired dry dark malt flavor with a touch of chocolate, finally picks up a hint of fruit but it is offset by some bitterness in the finish, looses all of its character on draft

Pours a dark brown with a off white head. Hints of dark chocolate, malts, sour fruits, and spices. Finishes with a yeasty spice on the tongue.

Pours a beautiful, clear garnet with a huge tan head that laces down the glass; certainly one of the prettiest beers I’ve drunk. Scent is malt, grape, soufdough, and something unusual I can’t recognize..is it yogurt-like, maybe? Flavor is dominated by dark malts, with hints of chocolate and caramel, tart grapes, pear, nuttiness, and light spice. Finish has a clean sweetness to it. Nice, although the non-malt flavors could stand to be a little more intense.

Bottle. Opaque dark brown with big white head that dissipates fast. Aroma of spices, metal, and water. Very sweet. Nutmeg plus lingering date sugar that can become cloying. Quite thin. Does not shine. Good, but not spectacular beer.

12oz bottle. Pours a very deep ruby red with a thick foamy off-white head. Aroma is light raisins, vinous, yeast, some spice. Flavor is very smooth malt, raisin, chocolate, light spice, yeast, some chocolate. Very easy to drink.

nice thick offwhat head. smells fruity/malty/slightly sweet. Perfect combo of malts and hops with a slightly slightly dry finish. Overall i really enjoyed !

This may be my favorite Abbey Dubbel. Poured from a bottle at Shores Inn, SCS, MI. Pours hazy brown with short creamy off-white head. Great flavor, presiding from what I can tell mostly chocolate and malts. Sits well on the palate, with the alcohol cloaked well by the other flavors.
