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.

Hair6a11 (929) - Illinois, USA - NOV 8, 2010
Bottle: Pours a Dark clear golden with nice white frothy head. Above average carbonation on this brew - aromas are sweet breads and tropical fruits on this one. Body is medium for the abv level - With that said, flavors seem fairly simplistic to me - Sweet breadiness, very light spices, and a tropical fruit element comes through. A bit of bitterness at the end - Nice Belgian strong here -

Bottle. Poured a orange color with little to no head at all. Aroma was sweet malts, bread, and caramel. Flavor was malts, malts, and more malts. Alcohol in the finish. Sticky mouth feel. Average. Not my cup of tea.

Svesse (4215) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - OCT 30, 2010
(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 9 Oct 2010) Hazy golden colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with peaches, citrus and dried fruit. Malty, fruity taste with notes of dried fruit, citrus, apricots, dried pineapple, mango and a slightly spicy bitterness in the finish. Sweet full bodied malt character. Warming with some alcohol shining through. Quite nice.

Pours a murky gold into the glass with a small white head. For a Belgian beer I was expecting a nice fluffy white head with some staying power. This one leaves decent lacing but is rather thin. Aroma is fruity with a nice peach-like quality and some spicy yeast scents. Flavor is similar with a good bitterness. Alcohol is very well hidden. Body is slightly thin. Overall a good beer. Would buy again.

Orange colour and faint hazy. Has a white head, mostly lasting. Aroma of sweet malt and yeast. Fruity notes. Flavor is heavy sweet, some alcohol too. Syrupy texture. Warming alcohol.

750 ml. bottle. Pours a medium off white head, with some lacing, over a slightly hazy, golden (SRM 5) body.....nose is light sweet malts, with floral honey tones, light allspice....taste lightly sweet to start, then light pear, apple, finishing with light pepper, and alcohol heat.....mouth feel is light, carbonation high adding spritz. This is a typical Belgian Golden Strong Ale with all of the right characteristics for the style. BJCP 7/3/15/5/8
