Nov 5, 2007 Updated: Nov 6, 2007Bottle from the LCBO. Golden pour with a frothy white head. Spicy aroma. Taste is grainy and dry, with a strong aftertaste of malts. Alcohol is well-hidden. Reminds me a lot of Christoffel blonde. I wouldn’t return to this one again.

Oct 28, 2007 Updated: Oct 29, 2007The first for me of my Belgian Ale pack from the LCBO. Pours a somewhat murky pale golden colour, with a medium white head. The aromas are very yeasty, a lot of malty sweetness, fruity esters, and a bit of alcohol. The flavour is very strong of course, big on the bready malts and esters, not much hops, alcohol burn on the throat as it goes down, which I guess is pretty much impossible to avoid when your beer is 10+ ABV, so I won’t take off any points because of that. Fruits are a blend of peaches, a little banana, and maybe some pineapple, but it’s rounded off with strong yeastiness in the finish and a nice malty stickiness in the aftertaste. The mouth-feel is very full, as this is a pretty heavy beer. An enjoyable Belgian for sure, something to sip on and appreciate Belgian beer culture with.

Oct 27, 2007 like Duvel, Piraat can become a table beer as it is widely available. Not all beers have to have a bombardment of flavor, which is not often desirable anyway. Pirat is unpretentious, has a nice grainy character but remains dry and strong. A really approachable beer that often hits the spot.

Oct 26, 2007 Pours gold. Aroma has huge banana. Dough, a little yeast and pineapple hit the nose as well. Zero alcohol aroma. Fruity and caramel malts mesh with a hop bitterness. The hops cover the alcohol well. The 10.5%, if it were not for the warm throat, would be inconceivable. The head sits beautifully, almost as cream. Solid.
