bellissimo il colore ambrato-scuro,con una bellissima schiuma bianca e persistente. all’olfatto presenta un profumo pieno e avvolgente,mentre al palato risulta per nulla amara ma bensì abbastanza dolce e molto equilibrata.delicatissimo l’odore di frutta! è una birra da bere!

Lighter than I would have thought by looking at it. These Belgians continue to surprise with their balance and elegance. The Prior 8 is no exception. Good malt character. Long and easy. Wonderful mouthfeel and a great finish.

St. Bernardus Prior 8 is a dim, cloudy, leathery brown ale with a big, fluffy, light beige head that leaves tenacious lacing. It has a grainy, bready aroma with notes of raisin and prune. It smells just a touch sweet. It’s medium, maybe medium-light, bodied, smooth and fluffy and quite bubbly with a clean finish. There are dark and dried fruit flavors; notes of apple, plum, cherry and raisin bread. It’s not very sweet-- almost savory, with no noticeable bitterness. It’s warming at the finish and has a clean aftertaste. Very tasty.

On tap at Redbones. Into St. Bernardus trappist glass. Serious alcohol aroma and dark, ripe raisins, so GOOD. Flavor is about the same with some cloves but doesn’t overwhelm the other flavors. Really nice lacing coating the glass all the way down. Best dubbel I’ve had in awhile.

bottle, nice but unstable white head, dark orange/brown colour. Smell: dried plums, raisins, fruity and alcohol. Taste: easy to drink and very well balanced, raisins, dried plums, alcohol, yeasty, a bit bitter, sweet, warm feeling. A very good strong ale!

Bottle. Very good Belgian. Dark brown pour with decent carbonation. Flavor isn’t over powering, aromas match flavors.
