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.

Pours a golden color with plenty of lacing. Has a taste of corn syrup that you cannot get over. Almost thick and rich in taste.

Pours a cloudy golden color with thin head and lots of lacing. Aroma is spice, malt, and light floral hops. Taste is slight spice, yeast, sweet malt, and a sweet corn taste. Alcohol is warming and not well hidden. Has a syrupy consistency and just doesn’t do itself justice. Meh.

Looks good and drinkable. Aroma has strong fruity overtones, making it smell almost like a cider rather than an ale. Taste is strongly fruity, as well as malty with quite a bite of bitter. A nice jazzy ale that is a pleasure to drink.

Very strong fruity aroma. Some tartness and a wiff of apricot. Orangy copper pour. Clingy head. Disapointingly wattery for a belgian strong. The scent is much stronger then the taste. Boozy aftertaste which I love. Seems like it’s trying to be a trapists or a St. Bernardus. Still amazing vs locals and macros but overall disapointing compaired to other belgian strongs I have had. Somewhat too sweet and definately over carbonated.

On tap at Sharp Edge Beer Emporium. Very clear golden color. Aroma and flavors of citrus and spices. Flavor also has some yeast and a little grassiness.

Bottle, 33 cl. Tasted yesterday evening it was years ago that ill tasted this beer. Dark golden color with a nice creamy white head. Aroma hop aroma, with spice, Taste: yeast, to much of alcohol, and fruitiness. Palate medium/full, dryer than expected, alcoholic. Some of the alcohol comes off a bit too strong.
