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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Pours dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of wine, raisins, plums, and caramels. taste comes through wioth candied sugar, dark fruitts, and wine. This has a lot of taste for 8%. Very drinkable with nice complexity. Finish is very smooth. This is an excellent Belgian Strong. Not quite the 12, not not too far off either.

11.2 oz bottle from Total Wine. It pours a deep reddish-brown color with an aroma of bourbon, dark fruit, and hints of caramel. Slightly fizzy on the mouthfeel which seems to add raisiny notes. Pretty good.
