Corsendonk Pater (Abbey Brown Ale)

Draft pours dark brown amber with nice amount of head. Head stays until the end. Nice smooth flavor, with a very pleasant finish.

Super-dark, almost opaque amber color, with small, lasting head. Flavor is a little on the thin side; something like a black lager with Belgian yeast flavors. Much lighter body than I expected.

Amber with an off-white head. Lacks hops like it should with a nice mild and sweet malt flavor. Good dubbel.

Deep orange, brown colored brew. Very nice aroma, a bit fruity and sweet. Flavor is nice, malty and a bit sweet. Well balanced brew, very enjoyable.

This one-up’s the tripel, which was somewhat harsh. This is sweet, yeasty, and mild. Malt profile is well rounded and balanced.

Bottle - Pours deep brown with tan head. Great looking beer. Aromas of malted grain, fruit, raisins, chocolate. Flavors of spice, fruit, malt with a well balanced hop bitterness. Caramel, chocolate, and alcohol complete the taste. Nice mouthfeel.

great appearance upon pouring, slight lace hanging on top 5mm or so of a wide mouth goblet. thick body, flavor reminds me of oak wood, licorice, caramel and dark fruits. great palate, silky finish after the yeast dissipates, with slight alcohol finish. A great beer, but not epic.

Bottle that I sipped on after my anniversary dinner at Margot Cafe in Nashville. Pours a deep mahogany brown with a large beige head. Wonderful aroma of plums, cherry, oak, and dark malts. Mouthfeel is earthy and slightly sticky. Initial flavor is sweet, with notes of caramel, raisens, red wine, and candi sugar. Mid-palate is more yeasty, with some subtle peatiness. Finish has a mild spicy bitterness, with a touch of alcohol. Very nice beer, that hit the spot after dinner.
