Style and Glass: Belgian Ale, Trappist ABV, Volume & Calories: 6% in 11.2 fl oz. estimated at 150 C Purchased at: Joe Canal’s Lawrenceville, NJ as part of a $17.00 gift pack with glass. Aroma: beautiful scent, flowery, cherries, peach, cloves, spicy, fruity, oak. Visuals: simple, beautiful packaging, cloudy iced tea, deep reddish brown, nearly opaque, staying white head, intricate fresh lace. Taste: deep and balanced, hearty fruity malt, some fleeting hops, lighter body than expected. Palate: crisp, clean, but obviously unfiltered, longer fruit based finish. Overall: A wonderful brew. A bit expensive for what it is, understandably so, but a very nice experience. http://beercritic.wordpress.com/2009/01/04/st-bernardus-pater-6/

St. Bernardus certainly knows how to make a good beer. This one’s not as good as the Abt 12 but it’s still pretty darn good. LOTS of different flavors in this one. It blends nicely and goes down easy.

Bottle. Pours cloudy, medium-brown, with a puffy 2.5 finger beige head, good and lasting lacing. Smells of figs, caramel, pears, and hay. Medium, velvety, crisp body. Fruit flavor, much like the aroma, with some lemon. Very mild bitterness that balances all of the sweet malt about midway through, even less bitterness in the aftertaste. Well balanced.

Clovey date nose. Brown color with hints of amber, big head, nice lacing. Flavor was sweet pepper raisins, slight bitterness of orange pith. Medium bodied, big carbonation, finishes smooth. A solid beer, almost seems like a "light" version of Prior 8.

Pours a dark red brown with a thin tan head with decent lacing left on the glass. Aroma of malt, ripe plum, sugar and malt, very sweet smelling. Very candylike at first, powdered sugar with banana, yeast, malt and a slight sourness as it finishes. Light feel but carbonated, a bit fizzy. Good abbey but would rather have the 8 or 12 any day.

Pours murky orange with a foamy white head. Heavily carbonated. Aroma is of bananas, spice, malt, and yeast. Taste is very sweet fruit, mostly lemon and bananas with malt, spice, and yeast. Very earthy taste. Light, creamy mouthfeel.

Great looking beer. Pours a cloudy brown, with a nice frothy off-white head. Very little lacing, but all is foregiven. Light aroma of pit fruit and a bit of alcohol. Flavor is a light malt, roasted nuts, bread, with a touch of hop bittering. Palate is a bit fizzy and carbonated for my tastes. Overall a good basic Belgian ale
