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.

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"? :)).

Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - OCT 26, 2009
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.

DKthe13 (54) - NETHERLANDS - OCT 6, 2009
Tasted on tap and on bottle. Too much sugar and too much alcohol for one beer. A golden view but a very sticky flavour. I couldnt detect hops or malt in a significant way. If you want to drink this pick the lower alcohol version.

Draft at redlight redlight. This very golden strong ale has a pungent yeasty aroma and a very sweet doughy flavor. Not my thing.

Nicko (191) - Ashfield, AUSTRALIA - OCT 2, 2009
Bottle. Golden with small white head. Aromas floral and bubblegum, which isn’t very piratey; probly get stuck in the beard. Quite sweet, spicy too. Strong alc. taste, i guess you get that at 10.5%
