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.

Medium golden color. Aroma is of yeast. Has a yeast and pine flavor. Leaves a yeasty aftertaste.

A bad ass beer. Draft at so many places but the most recent was South Park Tavern in Dayton, OH. The pour is clear, very light amber with a nose of fruit and yeast. The flavor is strong, hot, fruity with some yeast. The classic Belgian beer with a lot of power. Sweet, fruity, and big, this Belgian is a damn good beer.

[2520-20091009] Bottle. Lemon rind zest yeast aroma hints at straw. Hazy, medium orange brown body with a medium-lasting foamy white head. Initial multigrain bread yeast flavour followed by an alcoholic licorice jolt. Medium body is boooozy. Initially quite good then BAM the alcohol hits like a licorice train; overall good to try.

Love the head; the color a light maple hue. Nose is racy and herbaceous but not off-putting. Apples and and a hint of warm Indonesian spices are prevalent. Mothfeel and weight are well balanced. Fruity esters are counterbalanced expertly by pleasant, profound (but not overwhelming) hops. Honey tones and spicy after"bite" are well received!

330ml bottle. Slightly hazy golden. Small long lasting foamy head, nice lacings. Lingering carbonation. A bit of metallic. Nice and balanced malt and hops. Fruity. Too many alchools and bad acidity (too much "sucker"? :)).

Serving: 330 ml. bottle. Appearance: Very deep gold color with a foamy, white head. Decent head retention. Aroma: Light nose with notes of fruit, yeast, and dust. A slight hint of peach and banana. Flavor: Sweet and fruity on the tongue. Peach, lemon, banana, a touch of bubble gum, and candy sugar. Palate: Medium, smooth carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel and a medium-short, sweet finish. Overall: It does a good job of hiding it’s alcohol but at the expense of a lot of fruitiness. It certainly isn’t the worst Belgian, but it is a bit on the simple side.

Pour from a 9L, didn’t know they made 9 liter bottles til then. Orange golden pour with some white head. Spicy hold and malt aroma with some floral and sweet notes. Flavor matches, but alcohol is noticeable but not overpowering, yeasts and sweet malts dominate.
