| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 7, 2008 Bottle. At best a watered down version of the Prior 8. Taste is too sweet for me, lots of brown sugar and mouldy St-B-yeast. Won’t drink this too often. There are better St.Bernardus beers. alexsdad06 (1079), Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 4, 2008 Bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a hazy brown color with a medium sized beige head and decent lacing. The aroma was moderately sweet fruits, bananas, yeast, and slightly oxidized. The flavor was yeasty, fruity, spices, brown sugar. This was medium bodied with moderate sweetness. scotch4281 (39), Hollywood, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 30, 2008 A very good beer. Almost tastes like a juice, but deeper. The brown color is a bit foggy, but it still tastes pretty good. I drank it out of an official St. Bernardus Glass. I am a true fan of Belgian Ales. oteyj (726), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Pours hazy brown with two finger head. Nose of plum, figs, molasses, some spicy yeast, and caramel. Flavors are quite sweet- lots of plum and raisin with some spice and brown sugar sweetness. Palate is medium bodied with a semi-dry finish. Came up a little short in my book, but tasty just the same. BoBoChamp (1346), Gent, Belgium
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 22, 2008 33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, easy to drink, balanced, cloudy, good head, good brew twitcher (293), framingham, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 20, 2008 bottle. Pours a dark, opaque brown, big chunky off white head that sticks around throughout. Aromas of raisins, black currants, and a cloyingly sweet maltiness. Flavors blend very well... starts with a light touch of floral bitterness, heavy raisin and fig flavors, and some yeast notes. Very even on the palate, a decent amount of active carbonation, and a nice, smooth clean finish. Very good brew.
