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.

The pour is very slow, and the head head is rocky and stubborn. Cloudy orange/gold body. Smells of light fruit, possibly granny smith apples and yeast. Tastes like a typical belgial tripple but with a hint of weat. The clove is definitely there and some bubblegum, too. The alcohol isn’t a strong in the taste as I had expected. 3 dimentional lacing.

750 ml. Tulip glass. Golden amber. Sure there are hints of other flavors and aromas that show in the typical Begian strongs, triples, and Belgian hoppy ales. But the alcohol overpowers both the aroma and taste.

A little light for a belgian STRONG ale, nice thick to frothy lasting head, faintly flowery hops and sweet yeast, sugary cereal taste with a light after taste. This should catch up with me like a good pirate should.

Bottle. Pours a brilliant golden color with a thick white froth of a head that never fully dissipated. Frothy lacing. Fruity aroma with bubblegum and yeasty notes. Fuller bodied than expected. Elegant maltiness with just a hint of crispness. Brewed with a bit of wheat? Clean but a bit fruity. Warming and very good.

Nice Belgian. Pour was a hazy orange with a 4 finger head that is still there to this day. The taste was typical belgian...lot of spice, yeast and bread. Nice carbonation with a thin and dry mouthfeel. Not a very complex beer and no tastes jump out at you. They stay in their place and that is just fine.

Belgians, Belgians, Belgians, i love Belgians . Very simmalar to the Draak, jsut not as flavorfull. Pours a yellow color with a frothu white head :rolleyes:. The smell and everything are what you would expect, veryvery good. Could have been a litle more flavorfull, but then you have the Draak. Very good brew overall.

On tap @ McNulty’s Bier Market: Golden colored pour with a white head. Aroma, sweet sugary malts, some spicing, yeast. Flavor, caramel, some candy sugar, sweet, and nice spicing to it. There was some warming. Really a very nice beer.
