Gulden Draak

Bottled. Poured dark w/a relatively small head. Sweet raisins, malt and toffee and sugars. Not a ton of hops and kind of a thin finish.

Bottle poured into a tulip. Poured a dark brown with big frothy off-white head. Aroma of big dark fruit, yeasty sweet bread, and booze. Taste threw me off, not what the aroma led me to believe it would be. Taste was a lot of apple, grape, and raisins. Sweet sticky mouthfeel, syrupy and boozy. A good quad, although VERY sweet.

Julio’s Belgian Beer Festival. Sample. This is too much belgian for me to handle. I found the alcohol to be overpowering to the point that it masked all the other flavors that might have been present. I can see that I am in the minority here though.

Got this in a mix-6 pack of Belgian beers and enjoyed it very much at a Halloween party last fall.

Bottle 33 cl. Dark beer with a heavy head. This beer is one of my favorite, good malty and rosted aroma as well as yeast fruit flavour. Nice body quite complex, sweet very pleasant. Some licorice taste at the finish.

Poured a cherry-chocolate brown. a little cloudy with a decent 2 finger foamy head. Not terribly aromatic, but sweet and raisiny. The taste was smoky and sour, with pine-sap, bread, and alcohol. Mouthfeel was chewy and creamy. (THICK) All around decent but Rochefort 10 was head and shoulders better. Maybe I got a slightly bad bottle.

11.2 oz bottle-Pours a hazy brown with a small tan head. Aroma of fruit, alcohol, and sweetness. Taste is the same. A different but still quite tasty full bodied brew.
