Pauwel Kwak

Brewed by Brouwerij Bosteels
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Buggenhout, Belgium

Dark red-brown, thin off white velvet cover. Aroma is dried fruits, caramel, yeasty must. Taste is more fruit, plums, raisins, alcohol.

Ruddy brown colour. Arouma is of ginger and orange. Taste is of choclate, mint, whisky. Hides the alcohol well, a very nice beer.

Drunk from the Kwak Glass. Looks great, copper colour thich rick head. Aroma is very malty. It kind of reminds me of a vienna lager. Nice hop character. It really hides the alcohol really well. Not quite what I was expecting but it is still a very cool beer. I like it.

Serving date: 2009-03-24. Served in tasting glass. Dark copper color, although translucent. Big beige head with some yellowish hues. The head is dense and looks creamy. Good head retention, some lacings. Plenty of caramel malts and toffee in the nose. Dark bread, wet leaves,mild spices. Yeast. Plenty of sweet malty flavors. Caramel, butterscotch, dark bread. Plenty of Kwak’s characteristic yeast flavor. Some grass and spicy hop flavors in the middle. The finish has a decent bitterness, some white pepper and hot and spicy alcohol. A rather round taste with some richness to it, but nothing special actually. Medium body, gentle carbonation. Somewhat sticky. This is a decent beer, a couple of notches above average. It lacks some character, but at the same time the taste feels heavy. Serving type: bottle (Copy of old Beer Advocate review)

Amber to brown beer with good looking off white head. Aroma is caramel like and smooth malty too. It has a round aroma and some hints of fruit. Taste is also rounded with a good malty and caramely character. In the aftertaste there is a slight alcohol burn.

bottle. hm, there are many better beers that do their "job" "on the dark side" ;) a bit alc taste, but normal for a stronger one. not a special taste, my opinion.

33cl dark brown bottle, as shown - at ’’Le Belge’’ in Offernbach. It was served with an original kwak glass, which looks more like a test-tube from the physics lab and comes with a wooden mount. Pours a clear ruby red with a big, off-white head. No lacing. Heavy-bodied Beglian strong ale with thick, oily mouth feel. Spicy and metallic aroma, a bit like brass - and some malt. Not so nice. Taste is a complex mix of sweetish berries (cranberry), with some banana and molasses. Dry, bitter finish. Nice beer.
