St. Bernardus Pater 6

Lt brown in color. Thin head that dissipates rather quickly. A little thin in overall mouthfeel. Some yeast and malty flavors.

Pours a beautiful, mostly-clear reddish-mahogany with a holding & creamy almost-tan head. Complexity abounds in the aroma with light funk and prominent basement mustiness forming the yeast profile behind fruity banana & apple... with additional cereal notes and moldy, waterlogged driftwood. Flavor is not as thrilling as the aroma, finding sour fruitiness alongside full malts in a taste that is appealing but uninspired. Fluffy mouthfeel with light astringence to finish. MIld alcohol rears late and lingers with anise (a flavor I couldn’t place until I read the previous ratings... good call by nick76).

Brown mahogany pour with a decent sized tan head. Watery palate, mildly malty fruity flavor. Pretty basic.

The aroma has caramel, (a basement like) yeast, bread, and cola. The appearance is red brown with a medium head. The flavor has bread, caramel, anise, and a little licorice. The palate is typical for the style. Overall it’s good.

Dark chestnut brown body, nice creamy medium head. Strong malty aroma, toffee, spices, dark fruit, alcohol. Full bodied malty caramel, wood flavour, coffee in the finish.

Bottle. Pours a wonderful mahogany color with a thin light brown head. Sourdough bread aroma with some nice candy like sweetness. Dark fruits and spices as well. Malt dominates the taste and finishes with a slightly bad apple cider taste. Mouthfeel is a little creamy and carbonated.

Malt, alcohol, flowers dominate the aroma of this hazy brown beer. The head is rather lose and dissipates quickly. Very heavy with a sour flavor that dominates the malt. Finishes clean.

Great looking murky brown. Yeasty. Enjoyable, yet a bit disappointing. Malts.
