FishManLA (164), Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA Feb 23, 2008 Little head that dissapated quickly. Deep amber color. Rich nutty and fruity taste, almost like fruitcake! Not bad, but exhibited an alcohol "heavyness" that brought down the overall score.
Gary__ (87), London, Greater London, England Aug 29, 2008 I useta own the infamous Kwak yard glass and stand device. So ive chugged Kwak @ least 17 times. I broke said glass so I’m drinking this from a Duvel glass. I know you’re meant to try act all sophisticated and "savour" these beers or some shit but I can’t help but drink these things quickly and as if prohibition is a soon reality . This is a very enjoyable , solid strong Belgian . My bottle is stronger than listed on this site . Mines 8.4 %- not that misely 8 % ABV. Kwak’s flavours are nice with a smooth vibe ,the booze is masked like a conspiracy. Its got lots of body. First sips I get caramelly textures and a dry gumb like wheatiness . There’s fruit esters like banana .Kinda a dry phenolic feel . This is flavoursome & Sinkable. Pompey (20), Longmont, Colorado, USA Aug 26, 2008 Nice light brown to rust pour. Hard to characterize this ale. Nice laced head with a sweet malty aroma. I think I like their Karmeliet so much I was expecting something different. It’s a fine ale with sweet malt and dark fruit tones. Nice mouth feel. Enjoyable, but not extraordinary. Balanced but a bit thinner than other Belgian strong ales. xmarcnolanx (644), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA Aug 23, 2008 ’Aroma is clean, sweet, some hops, but don’t play a huge role.
Taste is bready, yeasty, sweet brown. Lots of malt sweetness that is well-balanced with the slight hoppiness and estery, earthy dryness.
Finishes wet and doughy, ironically.
Nice.
apshah99 (80), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 23, 2008 hazy amber pour with thick white head; sweet malty aroma with spices. Bready taste with caramel malt, spices, and dark fruit. Well balanced finish and smooth and creamy on the palate. charlotte (1177), Vanløse, Denmark Aug 20, 2008 Deep orange colour with medium fluffy white head.Aroma is sweet of dry fruits and caramel,smooth mouth feels and well balanced.
