Name – St. Bernardus Pater 6

I had this one not too long ago and thought it was great. I thought it had a woody/earthy flavor. Is that a St. Bernardus goblet too?

May 11, 2009 at 3:55 pmI thought so. I almost bought that same four pack a few weeks ago but just picked up a single bottle. I think I’m going to head back and pick it up. It’s a nice looking glass. Goblets like that are my favorite. They really open up the flavor of the beer.
May 11, 2009 at 7:42 pmNate mentioned this one to me so I thought I’d come check it out. It sounds like a great beer. Is this considered an Abbey ale?
