Cette Witkap Pater a su trouver sa place parmi les doubles belges en proposant une double bien houblonnée et sur des arômes pas stéréotypés sur le café, chocolat, caramel, réglisse et pain noir. Le visuel est sur une robe brune sans mousse avec une fine effervescence peu poussée. Le nez est subtil sur les arômes déjà cités. Sur l'attaque un léger poivre apparaît en plus avec une pointe anisée sur une amertume que je n'attendais pas à ce niveau mais qui donne de la fraîcheur. La texture est fine sans que cela soit préjudiciable toutefois. L'alcool s'affirme légèrement en seconde bouche qui se veut plus intense et avec plus de présence. L'arrière bouche, un peu plus dynamique amène de surcroît un bon contraste. Le final, est davantage sur un duo café/chocolat est d'une longueur appréciable. Jolie prestation.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a very dark brown colour with a reddish hue and a thick medium sized creamy beige head. Nice lacing around the glass. Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel, chocolate, brown bread and also a hint of bubblegum and candied sugar. Taste is more dry dark fruits, plums, caramel and brown bread with some added peppery spice and more subtle hints of candied sugar in the background. Fruity, a little sweet and also dry finish. Nicely balanced. Thin to medium body, soft sparkly palate and smooth mouthfeel. Above average for the style. Another reviewer described this perfectly as a ‘gentle Dubbel’ . This is a nice beer. Enjoyed
