Piraat 10.5%

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Ertvelde, Belgium

I think this is a great Belgian ale. The aroma is spicy and a bit honeysuckle/fruit like. It has a lovely burnt orange hue with a frothy white head. The flavor is yeast spice with notes of caraway, nutmeg, and maybe some ginger to start followed by mellow honey and apple. Kind of like a bigger, meaner brother to Orval.

33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex brew, cloudy, good head, good brew, but not a topper

Pours a deep golden with a fizzy white head. I got a lot of spice and citrus notes in the flavor. Light coriander and orange. Good brew. Alcohol is present but still good.

Sweet honey and caramel nose, strong hints of citrus and dough. Orange with a hint of red, soapy head with good lacing. Liquoricey sweet, with huge bitterness and a alcohol bite. Effervescent, full body, long slow burning finish. Very interesting and enjoyable beer, almost like a Belgian-style Double IPA

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy dark gold with one finger off-white head and minimal lacing. Nose is yeast, spice and bubble gum. Taste is yeast, banana, bubble gum, and citrus with a dry alcohol finish. Light-to-medium mouth feel. Easy drinker but dangerous at 10.5%. Not great, but serviceable.

Bottle at ÅBF08. Clear golden colour. Small creamy white head. Good vinous flavour, some Belgian yeast. Gets grainy in the finish. The alcohol warms, but is not rough.

i liked it not too hoppy for me nice alchohal content but it looked kindA horrible in the glass. nice head at first but it disolved quick. i didnt get the sweet tase my friend did i thought it was decent but ive had better.

330ml, weak aroma, pours the color of a dehydrated man’s urine, with a large but quick to disapate head. Begins to make up for these lackings with a very drinkable, mildly fruity beer. Alchohol presences is hard to notice. Rather smooth on the palate. Very drinkable beer for my fellow Americans that are still stuck drinking the piss-beer that is sold in mass.
