19/1293) Home:  Pater 6 by St. Bernardus of Belgium:  **;  a 6.7% abbey ale;  bottle fermented, with added sugar;  rich, dried fruit nose;  cidery mouthfeel;  mild cider notes eclipse dried fruit flavours;

20/1294) Home:  Blitzen Belgian Tripel by Steam Works Brewing Co. of British Columbia:  *1/2;  9%,  20 ibu;  this is only available now in Brampton, having been touted for some time;  brewed with candi sugar and pilsner malt, which I found intriguing, as well as fuggles and sterling hops;  pours a perfectly clear golden colour with precious little carbonation;  a sweet Belgian style pale ale;
