Bottled. Clear deep golden. Sweet with clean mouthfeel and rich maltiness. Notes of paper before a grassy bitter finish sets in. Solid, not stunning.

Bottled. Dark ruby, no head. Aroma of black currant. Sweet and malty with a hint of balsamic acidity as well as black cherries and raspberries. Roasty with notes of licorice. Salty finish. Complex and very good!

(Bottle 25 cl) 5,7% ABV in my version. Dark brown, but far from black. Small tan head. Roasted almost burned malty notes and distinctively dry with a very light body. Actually rather refreshing. Never really considered this a Stout though. 260598

(Bottle 33 cl) Rather unusual "Blond" as the extreme yeast makes this more grey than anything else - nice, rocky head. A bit flat too. Soft, yet spicy but still fresh and pleasant. 300398

Hazy golden, small off-white head, floating yeast particles. Sweetish-banana & pear aroma with light alcohol and yeast. Sweet fruity flavor, which hides alcohol very well. Liquerish palate. Quite one-dimensional and sugary.

(Bottled 25 cl) Originally Van den Bossche only made one "Pater Lieven" called just that - and this is it. 5,7% ABV. Darkisk with a rather atypical light body with some slightly tart notes. Dry and not very bitter - reminds me more of a dark, Danish lager. But very refreshing indeed. 070594 New 6,5% ABV version at 240498

(Bottle 33 cl) Orangey golden beer with a huge and rather stable head. First impression is sweetness quickly balanced by a dry hoppiness. Very pleasant and with less alcoholl-burn than in most tripels. 050394

(Bottle 25 cl) Vintage 2003 at 9% ABV: very dark brown, almost opaque. Pronounced impurities from the bottle fermentation. Weak, light brown head. Extremely delicious malt aromas, slightly smoked and rather dry but not sharp at all with a rather subdued bitterness. The alcohol is scaringly well hidden. 040505 As "Kerstpater" 6,5% ABV, probably vintage 1997. 7/4/7/3/14=3,5
