kiefdog (1567), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 15, 2008 33cl bottle from Total Wine Tampa. Appears dark brown with a frothy white head. Head retention is not good, but enough remains to lace the glass. Aroma is of bread, sweet malt, touch of honey, and candy sugar. Flavor is much of the same with a slight bitterness in the middle of the swallow that gives way to a chocolatey, coffee-like finish. BeerGestapo (725), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 11, 2008 (BELGIUM) Pours a very dark brown color with a nice med-foamy tan head. The aroma is of molasses, dark fruit, and a hint of bourbon !! Flavor is smooth and creamy with dark fruit, and brown sugar taste. The 8% is well hidden, Another delicious brew from St.Bernardus....... :) daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Jun 7, 2008 St Bernardus...another great beer. Nice brown puor with a tan haed. Aroma is dried fruit, malt and syrup. Flavor is smooth and rich and just plain delicious. Brewer101 (162), New Jersey, USA Jun 6, 2008 Another solid St. Bernardus but I am one of the few I guess that likes Pater 6 more. This is still a great one though. Its pour was a dark brown with moderate off white head. The aroma was full of fig. The flavor was fig and other dark fruits. It was heavy of the nose. Good beer. Pwn3d (1040), Manhattan, New York, USA Jun 5, 2008 Bottle @ Stateline. Pour is very dark brown, hued, no apparent sediment. Aroma is fig, molasses, brown sugar. Flavors are delicious maple, bourbon, molasses and dark fruits - yeast softens what could be a sharp beer. Nice carbonation, smooth, even tart. Reminds me of Unibroue 2005. A great representation of a style I favor. 4.35 jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Jun 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with off-white lacing. Aroma is dark fruit. Flavor is great, dark fruit again. masonjer (560), Holt, Michigan, USA Jun 4, 2008 Pours dark brown with a medium white head. Nose is some dark fruit, light caramel and mustiness. Taste is much the same, with a good beginning flavor that is round and complex, raisin and candied sugar, finishes nice, not too sweet. Very drinkable and solid all around. Just overshadowed by the 12. Sparky27 (1559), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jun 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy dark brown with floaters and a one finger light tan head. Nose is a sour wine-like aroma upfront with a yeasty sugary background. Palate is dark fruits, brown sugar, a berry-like sour flavor and yeast. Interesting stuff. Medium mouth feel with nice lacing.
