St. Bernardus Pater 6 is a classic abbey-style dubbel beer that has a chestnut brown colour. This beer has a fruity aroma with hints of melon and fresh banana, and it finishes off with a slight bitterness.
It is brewed with a recipe that dates back to 1946, following the traditional dubbel style. This beer is commonly referred to as ‘een Paterke’ and has become a reference for its style.
The creamy head of this chestnut brown beer is exceptional. The deep flavour of speciality malt combines with the lively fruitiness of ripe tree fruits. Hazelnut and mocha notes form the basis of the mouthfeel, which leads to a great play between the mild taste of dark candy sugar and a slightly toasted but dry grain character.
The beer is rich in apple and pear aromas, which give way to a slightly bitter aftertaste. St. Bernardus Pater 6 is an excellent choice for complementing pork recipes or contrasting against zesty cheeses.
