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.

Bottle, from Kolding Vinhandel. BBE: 9-8-07. Pours a muddy orange with a thin white head. Loads of yeast particles. Aroma has alcohol, oranges, slight fruity tartness. Flavour is sweet with a definite vinious fruity straetch to it. There are some distant spices as well as oranges en masse. Perhaps a bit too much alcohol compared to the flavour.

Bottle and Tap. Aroma is spicy fruits, very sweet and strong on alcohol. Clear amber color with white head. Flavor is quite powerful with hints of citrus and alcohol, ends quite dry.

Tap @ Publick House Monk’s Cell, Brookline, MA. Pours a golden color with a lacy white head. Aroma is malt, spice, with a hint of hops. Taste is smooth and a nice mix of a malt front and a hop and spice background. Good beer.

Bottle, Perth, Australia Amaging rish malty and spicy hop aromas, luxurious malt background with assertive hop bitterness and flavour. A bloody excellent beer.

It took a while to be able to actually get to the beer due to the 3" thick slowly diminishing head that formed in my red wine glass. I enjoyed this out on my deck so I decided to take a walk about my yard while the beer settled. Rich orange-copper color and very bubbly. The aroma is of musty fruits and a mild earthiness, fairly calm. Very harsh on the palate, the 10.5% is felt all the way down. Considering the alcohol burn this beer is still lively with a good body to it. The taste of the alcohol fades to a yeasty fruitiness with thick malts and candied sugar. Lemon, oranges, and a peppery spiciness round out a decent flavor. The aroma and flavor seemed a bit bland for my expectation. Not the best example, still solid though.
