St. Bernardus Pater 6

been sruprised for a while that I hadn’t rated this then I realized I couldn’t find it anywhere in SD. Picked this up yesterday while on a beer run with my brother at Chevy Chase. bottle gusher at roomish temp. Pours deep orange with a tan head. Nose is sweet and fruity and richly malty. Taste is sweet and fruity with a dubbel like quality. Tasty.

Bottle-Twas my Easter dinner beer. A cloudy, ruby color brew with a small head and not much lacing. The beer was plenty carbonated. The aroma was mostly sour fruit with some wheat aroma. The taste was fruity and hoppy with a touch of wheat. Old rating.

Quite nice. Not a st. bernardus 8 or abt. 12, mind you, but very good. Dark brown with a bubble gum aroma and a sharp yeastiness to it.

Dark copper, auburn brown ish color with a playfully large head. Aroma is highly wheats and breads. It’s enjoyable but does more to highlight how good the 12 is than stand on its own.

It has a nice dark color with a pretty nice nose to it, when poured into the right glass. The taste is not too bad, almost a suble feature of nuts. Overall not that bad.

pours a dark hazy amber with an beige head. bread, spices, light, drinkable, medium bodied.

Pours a murky brown color with a large creamy head. Nice lacing too. Aroma is nice - crisp and spicy with bread, yeast, and sugar. Taste is the same with a dull earthy finish. I’m generally not a fan of Belgian ales like this, but this one is quite good. Drinkable and enjoyable.

11.2oz bottle (Best before 16 05 11) and served in a tulip. This beer poured a cloudy, dark amber with a two-finger thick head of tan foam that lasted. Very nice lacing. The aroma included caramel, dark fruits (plums, apple), and some spicy yeast esters. The flavor had thin caramel notes, caramel apples, fruit skins, and also some breadiness. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had crisp, aggressive carbonation. While lacking the complexities of it’s bigger brothers, this is still a decent brew.
