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.

Superb...what else can I say? This is one of the best tasting Belgians I’ve had, and I’ve sampled a good number of them.

Bottle (a nice one). Brown colour with a tan head. Sweet fruity aroma with yeast & caramel. Sweet malty flavour with fruits & brown sugar. A bit alcoholic.

11.2 fl oz bottle obtained at Florian’s in Auburn as part of a variety 6-pack. Murky brown body with light tan head that’s a couple fingers thick. Smells yeasty, fruity (dates? plums?) and roasty. Tastes roasty, fruity, somewhat chocolatey maybe? Complex and unique certainly. The only dark tripel I know of, so I’m not sure what to compare it to. Rather pleasant and tasty. Good for anyone who like dubbels or maybe stouts.

Bottle from a variety pack. Pours a hazy amber color with a big frothy head. Aroma of yeast, caramel, citrus and spices. Taste of malt, over ripe fruits and spices. Has a earthy semi sweet finish. Nice brew.

Deep amber color with nice creamy head. Aroma is mellow with malts and citrus. Flavor is a bit sweet and fruity, medium complexity. A little bubbly for its color. Good.

0.33l bottle at home. Nice ruby-brown color with beige head. There is also some lacing down the glass. Fruity and spicy aroma. Thick mouthful with malty sweet and spicy taste, also some yeast. Very nice balanced ale.
