Bière du Corsaire

Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Melle, Belgium

Bottle Rocky, white head, fully lasting. Yellow, flat body. Alcoholic and lightly yeasty aroma. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter initial flavour. Lightly bitter finish. Alcoholic feel.

This beer poured a garnet color with a thin white head. The taste was that of dried fruits and actually I picked up a hint of chocolate. This was an pretty good beer and one worth trying.

Really cool red bottle with foil top. Cloudy brown color with big chunks of black floaties. Aroma was an acidic yeasty thing with hints of light malt. Taste was flavorful and obviously aged a bit. A bit of nuts as well as the dried fruits. Drinkable, but not worth a second chance unless fresher.

A hazy orange beer with a dense head. The aroma is sweet spicy with coriander standing out. The flavor is a little sour and very spicy with notes of coriander and oranges before a dry end sets in.

Bottled, at the Dovetail, London.
Orange with a streaming white head barely being controlled by the glass. Dramatic stuff. Looked like an upside down waterfall. Smelt like cheep car plastic on a hot summers day. A sharp bitterness greets you, then there’s a sweet orange and mango middle to it, followed by really, really late kicking of bitterness again. Wonderfully complex, mysteriously enjoyable, sort of like S&M for your palate.

Amber in color, huge bubbly white head, had a truckload of sediment that floated around like fish in a tank, I’ve never seen that much out of one bottle, it almost made the beer unappealing, had a very fruity nose, well balanced flavors, lots of yeast & spice in the flavors, not a bad beer, it was just all that sediment floating around and gathering at the top of the glass that was a little tough to get past

Golden coloured. Very yeasty aroma. Yeasty and slightly alcoholic flavour. Quite boring and one-dimensional.

This is a good Belgian Stronge Ale. Tons of yeast. Yeasty, fruity, and sweet flavors. Finishes crisp and yeasty.
