Aye, another thirsty pilgrim seeking solace? St. Bernardus Pater 6 here, your guide through the world of Belgian Dubbel! I used to have a different name, you see, back when the Trappist Monks of Westvleteren sought refuge crossed the border and brought their legendary Sint-Sixtus Westvleteren brews with them. We learned from the best, mind you, and this recipe's been passed down for generations.
Just look at me - a deep, chestnut brown beauty with a head like fresh snow. Now, take a whiff! That's the magic - roasted notes mingling with sweet melon and a hint of banana. The first sip might surprise you, a touch of bitterness, but don't worry, it smooths right out. Leaves you with a gentle warmth, perfect for savoring a good chat with friends. So, raise a glass, my friend, and here's to tradition, good company, and a darn good brew!

The history of St. Bernardus, a former Trappist brewery, can be traced back to the early 1900s, when the Trappists fled to Watou, Belgium and started making cheese as a source of income. In 1930, the abbey was taken over by Evariste Deconinck, who later reached a 30-year agreement with a neighbouring abbey - the Sint-Sixtus Westvleteren - to brew and market his Trappist beers under licence. It was only in 1992 that the brewery started producing its beers under the St. Bernardus label that we know today, which features the iconic smiling monk holding a glass. Throughout its history, the brewery has been producing authentic and high-quality Belgian beers that are highly-respected by beer lovers and have gone on to win multiple awards over the years!
