COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Piraat is a wickedly rich and rounded brew that packs a mighty punch. The powerful glow builds up from inside. Deep golden with a subtle haze. Lots of hops and malt. Mild sweetness. Reminiscent of bread dough, spices and tropical fruits.

Yellow/orange, not much head. Aroma of citrus and pine. Taste is strong malt with a crazy yeast twang. Finish is bitter and leaves a little alcohol feel.

Bottle. Weak aroma of a rotten fruit. Taste rather fruity, a bit sweet, quite alcoholic. Good beer, but I’ve had better.

whitecap (161) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 4, 2012
Bottle. Pours clear amber with an average white head. aroma of yeast, spice, orange, fruit, and almost undetectable hops. taste is sweet and malty with the alcohol content of 10.5% being well hidden. mildly bitter finish. Was expecting more hops but was quite pleased with this beer.

Sample from bottle at 2012 Columbia World Beer Festival. Hazy gold. Interesting combination from this beer, hoppy up from before trailing into a doughy, bready, finish. Unusual but quite delicious.

Chipalsa (467) - Florida, USA - JAN 28, 2012
Into a snifter pours a nice golden body, full of bubbles and haze with a nice billowy head. Aromas are quite yeasty and sweet, with lots of clove and fruit in the background. The alcohol presence is strong, and only compliments the mouthful of complex fruity flavors and malty undertones. The finish is bready and sweet, leaving the mouth with a smooth twang that reminds me of dehydrated banana slices.

Thick and rich with a nice bubble, this has a lot of hops and malt (but nicely balanced). Mild sweetness with a bold alcoholic taste, and a bitter-sweet aftertaste. Reminiscent of bread dough, spices and tropical fruits. Very similar to the Stoudts Triple. Would buy again.

bobaidan (433) - Southington, Connecticut, USA - JAN 21, 2012
Pour is clear gold with a hint of orange and a tiny head. Aroma is strong alcohol with candy and some fruit. A bit sticky in body with enough carbonation to offset the stickiness. Flavor is sweet, and yummy. A lot of fruit flavors like apricot and apple with a nice alcohol bite. Finish is sweet.
