Dec 20, 2005 Updated: Jan 5, 2006Aroma is very malty (makes me want to have a malted milkshake) with hints of hazlenut. Color is light brown with a magnificent three finger tan head that looks like you could walk across it; if you were 2 inches tall. Very malty in the fore..somewhat syrupy with hazlenut and cocoa notes. Slight fruitiness in the finish.

Dec 17, 2005 Great appearance, aroma is quite subdued. Very noticeable yeast character (not a bad thing at all) but othewise a well done beer, if not especially notable.

Dec 17, 2005 After having enjoyed so many bottles of St. Bernie Prior and Abbot over the past several years, I was terribly happy finally to have found a few bottles of this. The Pater is clearly in the same tradition as the other two: as soon as you pour it you will instantly recall the familiar and wonderful St. Bernardus aroma of hazelnutty chocolate. The flavor is the same as the big brothers, just scaled down here. It’s fun to have another take on the classic St. Bernardus flavor, but it’s tough to feel other than that ther is something missing in this: it doesn’t have that same remarkable balance of the Prior. Nor does it really make the most of its smaller frame. IT’s like looking at a guy whose suit is a bit too big. Or "everything you want in a beer, and less".

Dec 17, 2005 Dark cloudy auburn colour with a foamy tan head. The nose is yeasty and spicey with hints of fruit, pepper, alcohol - nice and fresh smelling. The body is malty with a fair amount of yeast. Fruity with a defenite alcohol presence.

Rich and hazy brown sugar color. Good white head that diminish to a thin film, leaving some laces. Aroma is dominated by the brown sugar but traces of pale malt + fruits. Taste is very sweet, nice but simple. I should leave my other bottles age more.
