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.

Pours a dark dark amber, with a nice big froathy sicky head. Aroma is sweet, with notes of berry, and caramel most prominent. Flavour is sweet, with lots of berry goodness, and like the the aroma promises a little bit of caramel. The beer is a touch unbalanced with only a little hop bitterness at the end, but I like the flavour so much I didn’t mind. The beer gets better as it warms up.

This beer pours a dark brown with a medium white head that dissipates very quickly. Very lively carbonation. The aroma is flower and caramel as is the flavor. This beer has a strong pronounced alcohol to it! This was a very good beer. Cheers!

Brown pour with a medium head The flavors were a nice blend of sweet caramel, dark fruits, and a slight coffee tint. There is also an alcohol presence and a dry, lingering aftertaste.

Smells of fresh-baked bread, pours a dark amber, with no head and a lively bit of CO2 is noticable. Sweet and spicy, with alot of drinkability, hides ABV well. Finish is tarty. Very good quad
