🌍 Belgium · Belgian Dubbel · One of 12 Belgian Dubbels in hopIQ

The Pater 6 is the entry-level beer of the St. Bernardus range — at 6.7% ABV, it was originally conceived as an everyday table beer, the kind monasteries brewed for the monks' daily meals. Despite its modest strength, it is a genuine Belgian abbey dubbel with real character: dark amber in colour, malty and approachable, with touches of caramel, brown sugar, light dark fruit, and gentle clove spice from the Saint Sixtus yeast. Medium body, soft carbonation, and a clean, gently drying finish make it the most accessible beer in the range. An excellent gateway to Belgian abbey ales for those new to the style, and a reliable daily-drinker for those who know it well.
