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 at the Hopdevil, shared with ozujsko (thanks!). Poured a big thick white head that lasted for ages. Darker golden colour. The nose was yeasty and grainy, bit lemon. The taste was domintated by a pleasant strong maltiness, some yeast, graininess, fruitiness and alcohol. A touch herbal. Not extremely complex. Most of these tastes, while somewhat common, complement one another very nicely forming a harmonic taste. Dangerously drinkable.

330 mL bottle. Clear Golden with fizzy white head. Aroma of fruit and yeast. Smooth palate. Malty, fruit taste, a hint of honey, peppery spice, and a slightly bitter finish with a taste of over ripe fruit lingering in the back of the throat.

From a bottle poured very gold with a fat white head and great lacing. Nose ore banana and yeast. Mouthfeel very smooth and rich and smooth in the swallow. Flavor of cloves, flowers, spice, banana, and the alcohol is hidden remarkably well. Very nice to drink

Pours a golden blond color, HUGE head. Flowery nose, with a hint a spice. A full bodied entry with a pleasent hoppy presence throughout. A spicy maltiness is also evident. There is definately a warming quality because of the high abv, but it is well balanced in the overall picture. A nice Belgian ale

One of the best ever...tulip-shaped glass, cloudy-blonde appearance with fluffy-white head. Estery, sweet, champagne-like flavors, with definitive alcohol present. The empty glass emitted the suggestion of tomato sauce.
