Character, taste, aromas
St.Bernardus Prior 8 stands out with its fruity aroma, reminiscent of tree fruits like red apples, but
complemented by exotic touches of figs and dates. The whole is rounded off perfectly by impressions of
caramel and roast malt. The full taste is malty and fruity in equal measure and achieves the perfect balance
between bitter and sweet.
Culinary
This is an easy beer to dine with. It’s strong character easily pairs with tasty, rich dishes, such as stews and meat dishes with creamy sauces. Despite its strength this Prior 8 also serves very well as an aperitif.
