Cloudy dark brown hue, Nice beige head. That at this time has lasted about 45 minutes. Malty and light clovy sweet flavour. Light stewed pea, honey aroma. Very flavourfull and delicious. Palate is smooth and oily with nice bites of bitter on the back of the tounge.

Bottle. Pours a ruby colour with a huge, rocky creamy beige head. Aroma of plums, spice and alcohol. Sweet, vinous flavour of plum, alcohol, dried fruit, spices and alcohol. Sticky finish with a strong alcohol presence.

Dark red with a medium head. Aroma: sweet, malty and a bit sour. Taste: Medecine, maybe some chocolate and some port. Like the Pater 6 this comes close to the noble trappists. A very good beer.

Light brown head. Brown body. Had this along side Affligem dubbel - and this was better due to a more full body and some nice spicy notes.

nice beer, not as memorable as the St. Bernardus Prior 12, but still decent. i agree that the gift set is great, i love the glass!

Mr. Bernard pours with a robust mahogany body and a thick quilted tan head. The aroma is light, notes of a yeasty biscuit, a touch of coco, and some fruity plums, apricots and dates.
The flavor is dark and toasty. A loaf of Pumpernickel bread, but with suggestions of Rye. More coco, a little orange zest, loads of black pepper, and cantaloupe. I’ve gotta give it to Mr. Bernard on the palate… light, velvety, drapes the glass with it’s quilt of lacing after every sip! Good Stuff!

bottled: into the glass this one is mahogany brown with lots of sediment floating throughout, an off white tan head. nice bold aroma, mostly malt and fruit. on the palate what you expect you taste, raisin malt...rock candy sweet. changes as the beer warms, maybe some figs...sweet. a solid robust brew cant wait to try the rest.
