"St. Bernardus Prior 8 is a traditional abbey ale brewed in the classic 'Dubbel' style of Belgium's best abbey ales. It has a ruby-to-purple color, smooth, creamy richness of texture that is almost oily, and a malt-fruit complexity reminiscent of coconut. It finds the perfect balance between sweet, bitter and malty tastes. One of the original recipes from the days of license-brewing for the Trappist monks of Westvleteren." —brewer
