Jan 7, 2007 Pours a murky brown with a sizeable white head. Non-descript fruity aroma. Flavor is dark malt, not quite as sweet as I expected ... mild, dry fruitness with yeast and a touch of wooden cask. Very little hop presence. Not bad overall.

Jan 6, 2007 Nice, but not quite as good as the other St. Bernardus brews. Fruity with just a hint of slightly funky yeast.

Jan 5, 2007 Poured Pater 6 into St. Bernard glass. Found a variety 4-pack with glass for only $15. Pours a plum colored purple with a two finger head. Excellent lacing. I’m following this up after having the Prior 8. In comparison, I find this to have more fruit notes, like plum and raisin. Has a slightly bitter finish with a chocolate twinge. Everything I have tried from St. Bernard is top-shelf.

Jan 5, 2007 Bottle. Cloudy copper with quite a big head. Complex fruity aromas. Yeasty and chocolate flavours, some fruit. Medium carbonation, but quite full-bodied. Nice.

Jan 5, 2007 Huge, thick, bubbly tan head. Dark amber-brown color. Sweet, brown sugary, malty, fruity aroma with some hop presence and some light spiciness. Mouth-watering dark candi sugar and sweet malt flavors, with dried dark fruits (cherries, raisins, dates, figs), fresh apples, caramel, a hint of cocoa, and a hint of hops. Smooth, silky, velvety mouthfeel that dries up nicely in the finish. Really great stuff, well balanced and with a huge range of flavors. St. Bernard Brouwerij never disappoints.

Jan 4, 2007 11.2oz bottle Enjoyed in my St. Bernardus, Watou glass. reddish brown color, white head. Smells like a Belgian Ale. Aroma of dried fruits. Tastes is very light and easy to drink. Flavors of crisp fresh tree fruits like apples or pears. Very odd due to the color. I expected more caramels or chocolate. Very balanced.

Jan 1, 2007 Poured from 11.2 oz bottle. Used Trappist glass. Very large head that lasted quite a while. Lots of bubbles, reminded me of a hard cider in appearance. Dark, reddish brown in color, but still could see through it. Very yeasty smelling. LOVED the smell. Tasted hints of fruit right away, apples, maybe? Caramel and chocolate detected. The finish has quite a kick to it, almost a spiciness, hot flavor left in mouth...Very good. Very fun to drink.

Dec 30, 2006 11.2 oz bottle. Poured a medium reddish brown color w/a moderate white head. Not as heavy as some of their other brews, lighter w/a floral aroma. Had some sweetness, spice, with a yeasty, doughy flavor. Maybe some traces of figs/raisins/dates. Had some effervesence to it, a little kick. Long. light, fruity finish.
