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.

Bottle, Perth, Australia Amaging rish malty and spicy hop aromas, luxurious malt background with assertive hop bitterness and flavour. A bloody excellent beer.

It took a while to be able to actually get to the beer due to the 3" thick slowly diminishing head that formed in my red wine glass. I enjoyed this out on my deck so I decided to take a walk about my yard while the beer settled. Rich orange-copper color and very bubbly. The aroma is of musty fruits and a mild earthiness, fairly calm. Very harsh on the palate, the 10.5% is felt all the way down. Considering the alcohol burn this beer is still lively with a good body to it. The taste of the alcohol fades to a yeasty fruitiness with thick malts and candied sugar. Lemon, oranges, and a peppery spiciness round out a decent flavor. The aroma and flavor seemed a bit bland for my expectation. Not the best example, still solid though.

A little white head with a nice golden amber color. There is a some haziness and a fruity fabulous smell. It has a smooth mouthfeel and a nice finish. You feel the alcohol and it produces a nice glow over your body rather quickly. Nice beer, will surely have again. 330 ml bottle.

Piraat is in my Top 3 favorites! It has just a great mouthfeel and a fantastic taste that changes as it warms. I continually buy this again and again!

On tap numerous occasions, most recently 6/29/07. Deep golden color with stark white long lasting foam. Big alcohol and phenolic aromas. Warming alcohol flavors, a good bit of sweetness. If the opium growers of the world were to brew a beer, it’s name would be Piraat. Drinking this is like being hit in the face with a shovel coated in diamond coated razor blades, nothing cures a shitty day faster.
