Pours a darker copper color with a tan head. Aroma is sweet with dark fruits, caramel malts, a hint of some roasted malts, and a little alcohol. Flavor is malty with a decent dark fruit flavors as well. Slight bitter finish with a little bit of alcohol warming.

Bottle poured a light brown massive head that trickled down to a nice malt palate with hint of prune. Well balanced beer.

St. Bernardus non mi delude mai, perlomeno non quando fa le birre che deve fare (se affida un prodotto a Pierre Celis in nome della sua autorità birraria allora il flop è clamoroso); questa Prior 8 che ero convinto di avere già assaggiato (confusione mia) è strepitosa, di ottima complessità ma con un bell’impatto anche senza pipe, un po’ come certi sarcofagi romani del tardo II sec. d.C., un po’ come lo stile antonino sotto commodo e lo stile severiano, tutti quei chiaroscuri lavorati a trapano.... sono uno spettacolo.

Poured deep brown/mahogany with a big frothy head. Semi-sweet malt flavor with varous spices such as corriander. Really well crafted beer.
