St. Bernardus Pater 6

Bottled 33cl. It pours a hazy copper beer with a huge creamy, slightly tanned head. The aroma is of pineapple, plums, licorice, nuts and syrup.... You name it! A strong nose. Quite earthy too... Notes of wood, figs, brown sugar, raisins and mango in the taste. Very smooth. A touch of banana just before a dry buttery grassy finish. Some hints of peat showing up? Beautiful lacing.

Bottiglia da 33cl in un bar a Gavi Ligure; accompagnata con piadina prosciutto crudo e pomodoro. Colore marrone chiaro con poca schiuma evanescente; aroma sbruciacchiato, sapore deciso e pieno. Più che soddisfacente.

I first had this been when the LCBO was selling a St. Bernardus assorted gift set at Christmas 2005. This beer was not as impressive as the 12. I recently did a tasting along with the St. Bernardus Prior 8 and Abt12. Definitely a decent beer, but nowhere near as well-balanced as the Abt 12, or as nice as the Prior 8. The beer pours a medium red-brown colour with white head and strong aromas of figs and spice. This beer has some nice raisiny notes, but suffers from the low malt, and has a winey sourness that throws off the balance.

Pours a hazy medium brown color with medium layer of quickly dissapating white head. Aroma light, sweet and brown sugary, with hints of grapes and raisins. Flavor and mouthfeel light and a bit watery, but also very carbonated in the mouth. Slightly tart and bitter with some orange and toffee flavors. Overall, pretty good.

Draft... Dark, hazy, caramel-colored ale with a large, frothy, light brown head. Good retention. The aroma is a candy swirl of toffee, milk chocolate, dark raisins and brandy cordials. Sweet, fruity, malty flavor with good bittering by aged hops. Medium-bodied and astringent with lively carbonation. Lightly sweet finish. I’m a fan!

33cL. Decent bier with a nice appearance but a slightly thin flavor and finish.
