I havent made a post for ages so here….

St Bernardus Prior 8
This is from Brouwerij St. Bernardus, its an 8% Belgian Dubbel.
The St Bernardus stuff is just like best in class. Its a really good beer to drink, its one of the best, a definer of the style. You want a Belgian Dubbel, this is the standard.
This one has a best by 2023. Id say its not been kept well, But its still very good. A light mouthfeel with big character, its all richness and dark dried fruit, not much alcohol feel if any, which is a standard for this stuff, sneeking it in. Its big on the nose, too, all that dark fruit and stuff, which is lovely. This is a great beer, a classic and a marker for its style.
