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.

A little white head with a nice golden amber color. There is a some haziness and a fruity fabulous smell. It has a smooth mouthfeel and a nice finish. You feel the alcohol and it produces a nice glow over your body rather quickly. Nice beer, will surely have again. 330 ml bottle.

Piraat is in my Top 3 favorites! It has just a great mouthfeel and a fantastic taste that changes as it warms. I continually buy this again and again!

On tap numerous occasions, most recently 6/29/07. Deep golden color with stark white long lasting foam. Big alcohol and phenolic aromas. Warming alcohol flavors, a good bit of sweetness. If the opium growers of the world were to brew a beer, it’s name would be Piraat. Drinking this is like being hit in the face with a shovel coated in diamond coated razor blades, nothing cures a shitty day faster.

Bottle at Københavnske Øldage. Golden, almost clear body with a minimal white head. Expected the head to be much bigger. Quite heavy aroma, with a good dash of alcohol, along with fruits, hops and pale malt. The flavor is the same, but lighter on the alcohol, at least until the finish. Full body. Long, sweet and spiced finish with wheat-like flavors and alcohol. A quite lovely beer, better suited for the winter time. (070512)

750ml bottle poured into a tulip. Piraat pours a hazy yellow with a large fluffy head supported on a rocky base. It smells like lemon meringue pie, bananas, alcohol and aluminum. It has a pretty solid alcohol base along with a dry citrus body. The bottle may be a little old as there’s a slight old glass or even metallic taste to it. The metallic taste brings this beer down a full notch. I won’t compensate for it because maybe it isn’t from a bad bottle. Piraat sweetens up at the end like a blended passion fruit and peach juice.

Bottle. Cloudy golden coloration, with a very nice white head, dense and consistent. Average carbonation. Perceivable alcohol. Citric. Notes of damson plum. Bitter final.
