COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Gulden Draak is a high fermentation beer with secondary fermentation. For the secondary fermentation, wine yeast is used. The white bottle, the black banner, the golden dragon and the red letters, constitute a stylish result that has no equal among the many Belgian special beers. Gulden Draak can be drunk as an aperitif or dessert, or whenever you have the time to sit back and relax. But this barley wine is also perfect with and in stews, especially the Ghent variety. It is also a plus in sauces for red meat, such as a bordelaise. It is particularly suited as a dessert beer, especially in combination with dark chocolate.

JesusPooped (40) - Bay View, Wisconsin, USA - MAR 5, 2010
On tap at Nessun Dorma. Beautiful creamy head relaxing in a tulip glass. Very dark appearance. Aroma was sweet fruits and intense belgian malts. I was very pleased with the taste at first noticing it wasn’t overly loaded with sugar like many triples I’ve had lately. The sugar actually tastes like it is coming from the fruits. Not overly hoppy. The abv is well hidden.

erickok (802) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - MAR 3, 2010
Very sweet aroma, with caramel and ripe pear. deepbrown body with brownish top, which looks heavy. Very sweet yet fitting taste. Long finish makes this beer complex and interesting. Still it never blows me away; rather my curiousity isn’t fully satisfied.

ogreface (826) - Budapest, HUNGARY - FEB 23, 2010
Érdekes homályos rubinvörös,kissé barnás színe van ennek a sörnek.A tetején keletkező hab enyhén bézs színű és szinte önálló életet él ahogy kavarog és az óriási buborékok fel-le rohangálnak benne.Miután kitombolta magát szépen eltűnik,minimális nyomot hagyva maga után.Édeskés,alkoholos és rumos cseresznyebefőttes illata van.Íze likőrösen,édesen kezdődik amiben van egy kis aszalt meggy,koriander és szegfűszeg.Ez átmegy egy keserédes komlós,fügés és borsos ízbe amiben felfedezni egy kis mandulát is.Elég testes és szénsavas az alkohol kellemesen melegít bennünket.Utóíze keserédes,kissé melaszos és gyógyfüves a végén kiszárítja a szájat és hosszan tart.Nagyon finom kis főzet és ahhoz képest hogy milyen erős,veszélyesen itatja magát.Klasszikus!
