Commercial Description:
Gulden Draak is a dark brown Triple Ale, which makes it an exception among the Belgian Triples. The second fermentation offers the nice creamy head, the full body and all the vitamins of the centuries old brewers yeast. It is a "thick" beer, that you can actually "eat" to adventure the complex taste. Gulden Draak balances a natural malt toffee-like sweetness with a mellow happiness and some hoppy accents. The aroma is round, sweet and reveals the 10.5 alcohol by volume.

Brilliant clear copper color with a frothy khaki head. Nice candi sugar sweet aroma with some earthy barnyard. Medium bodied with a frothy mouthfeel. Earthy sweet musty melon flavors at first turns to spicy yeast in the middle, with a drying bitterness in the finish. Another most tasty Belgianbrew.

Smells of fresh-baked bread, pours a dark amber, with no head and a lively bit of CO2 is noticable. Sweet and spicy, with alot of drinkability, hides ABV well. Finish is tarty. Very good quad

Decent brew.Pours a dark reddish brown color with a foamy tan head. Aroma of bread, dark fruit and malt. Taste is sweet, with a medium mouthfeel and very lively carbonation. Finishes with a decent amount of spicy sweetness. Would drink again.
