St. Bernardus Pater 6

Bottle sampled with Beerded one. Pours deep copper\amber with a decent sized off white head. Aroma of citrus, belgian style spices, slight fruit, and yeast. The flavor is smooth, sweet, fruit, yeast, citrus, toasted malts. Good body, good brew, perhaps my favorite of this style.

Pours a nice brown with creamy off-white head. Aroma is mainly sweet fruits & yeast. The flavor is malty & fruity. Definitly has a touch of raisins, prunes, bananas and a little belgian yeast. Slighty toffeeish in the finish. It’s a bit thin, and, in my opinion doesn’t has enough bitterness. Good though.

08.16.08 33cl Bottle dated 08.08.08 This stuff is ruby brown with sturdy tan head. Aroma is warm and rich with vinous notes, touches of sherry, cider, old cherry kijafa, and a muddled fruitbread yeastiness. The beer is sweeter than expected, and thinner, but it’s a nicely done beer and it certainly seems to have some direction. The fruits are raisin with strong highlights of pear and the vinous qualities persist throughout. It’s a beer that grows on me as I plow through the glass. The ending is on the medium dry side, mildly carbonated-tingly, and with very mild lingering sweetness. It’s more refreshing and less satisfying than I expected.

Muddy, maroonish tulip with a portish waft of booze. Raisins, soap and plums allude at a much stronger beer. Smooth fruit and teasing fumes. Sweet but not excessively sticky.

330ml bottle.
Pours a deep clear mahogany with a fluffy off-white head that settles down but never really goes away. Nice sheets of lace on the sides of the glass. Wonderful nutty yeast aroma with earthy leafy, slightly tobacco-like hops, rich bready malt and a touch of toasted grain. The rich malt hinted at in the aroma is surprisingly subdued in the flavor; instead it is in intriguing symphony of grassy hops, dry grain, and a bit of dried fruit (cherries/cranberries) with a medium hop bitterness lingering in the background. Medium-bodied with an average, fairly bubbly palate. Pretty nice stuff.

Thanks to Jason. The beer pours to a darker brown body with an off-white head. The aroma is strange syrupy dark fruits. The flavor is sweet yeasty maple syrup, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. Perhaps I’m on crack... The palate is medium bodied, very easy drinking, fits the beer well.

Bottle shared by Jason. Hazy brown body, small white head. Dry chocolate, rasin, fig, and a suprisingly bright orange oil. Muddled, sweet flavor. Chocolate/munich base with dry wood and water chestnuts on top. The finish exhibits some spicy leaf hops. A good beer but no one part of the flavor (or combination thereof) really make it interesting.

090508 on bottle (thanks jason) Pours a mahogony color w/ a thick off white well laced head. Very yeasty aroma bread dough some light syruppy toffee pieces and maybe a touch of fig. Palate is well coated and lightly creamy smooth to the finish lightly carbonated, just feels good in my mouth. Flavor is sweeter some nice carmels or syrups fig/plum notes touches of bread dough. Very smooth and quite good.
