Commercial Description:
Gulden Draak is a dark brown Triple Ale, which makes it an exception among the Belgian Triples. The second fermentation offers the nice creamy head, the full body and all the vitamins of the centuries old brewers yeast. It is a "thick" beer, that you can actually "eat" to adventure the complex taste. Gulden Draak balances a natural malt toffee-like sweetness with a mellow happiness and some hoppy accents. The aroma is round, sweet and reveals the 10.5 alcohol by volume.

[Draft] A dark red beer with a beutiful head where the bubbles in the lower part goes up and in the top part goes down. The aroma is very sweet with note of berries especially cowberries, yeast, and alcohol. The flavor is very sweet, with loads of cowberries, notes of hops and a dry hoppy end. It has a nice round mouthfeel.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very dark with a huge off-white head. Extremely full-bodied and sugary. The hops don’t really level out the sweetness. Lovely as a desert beer or a night cap, but one is plenty. A beer to chew. 310593

Bottled at Pressklubben, Stockholm. Lightly hazy amber, minimal head. Syrupy caramel that simmers in a pudding of pineaple jam. Extremely sweet. Medium bodied with thick syrupy mouthfeel. Some burnt sugar. Nuances just drown in a sea of sweetness. Not good at all.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy to murky brown with a lacing tan head. Light earthy aroma with a minor note of caramel. Flavour is extremely sweet and with solid flavour of caramel malt. Dried fruit notes appear just before and into the finish.

Bottled. Brownish orange colour with nice white foamy head. Sweet malts, fruit and some yeast in aroma. Also a sting of alcohol. Flavour is much sweeter than I thought and consists of sweet malts, alcohol, yeast and fruits. Warming finish.
