Smell’s of dark fruit & honey(lightly)and like it’s 5%. 1st sip tast the same. All the other sip’s have a stronger(sweat)dark ruit taste combind with the boosy taste that make’s it seem a little garbage like the taste. It’s not discusting,but it’s not amazing. i found it all ight but one is enough.

Super high alcohol. touch of caramel aftertaste. Almost a sense of musk. Better than some of the other Van Steenberges but not my favorite in style - at touch too much sweetness.

Bottle from LCBO gift pack. Pours clear orange with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is Belgian ale spiciness, with strong clove notes. Sweet malty and spicy taste, with warming alcohol. A little bit syrupy. Overall nice.

Pours golden orange with medium white head. Aroma is sweet, spices, candy, and booze. Taste is sweet, belgian candi sugar, smooth malt, and a boozy finish. You can definitely taste the 10.5% in this one. Pretty good though.

Pours orange with a white head. Smells hoppy, floral, tropical fruits and tropical fruit juices, and a bit yeasty. Tastes spicy, bitter, juicy, hints of sweetness, and slight alcohol burn. Full-bodied with a wet, juicy texture and more than average mouth-carbonation, Piraat finishes with spiciness on the tip of the tongue.

Tap. Clear gold, large white head that laces well. Aroma of strong yeast notes, raisins, spiced bread, and more yeast. Taste is yeast dominated as well, fruit sweetness, some alcohol on the finish. Pretty good, more yeast spice than I was expecting.
