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.

The alcohol is accentuated along with a grainy bitter hoppy kick that seems decently balanced by malts. The fruit tones remind me more of grapes and apricots. The body has some dryness in the aftertaste but is a bit watery. It could use some more spices.

Pours really nice, but taste is almost non exsistent. Very strong kick, that is attemped to be hidden. Strong taste of nutmeg.

Pours a golden color with plenty of lacing. Has a taste of corn syrup that you cannot get over. Almost thick and rich in taste.

Pours a cloudy golden color with thin head and lots of lacing. Aroma is spice, malt, and light floral hops. Taste is slight spice, yeast, sweet malt, and a sweet corn taste. Alcohol is warming and not well hidden. Has a syrupy consistency and just doesn’t do itself justice. Meh.

Looks good and drinkable. Aroma has strong fruity overtones, making it smell almost like a cider rather than an ale. Taste is strongly fruity, as well as malty with quite a bite of bitter. A nice jazzy ale that is a pleasure to drink.

330ml - Creamy tan head, nose like a merlot, palate of banana not unlike a weizen.

Very strong fruity aroma. Some tartness and a wiff of apricot. Orangy copper pour. Clingy head. Disapointingly wattery for a belgian strong. The scent is much stronger then the taste. Boozy aftertaste which I love. Seems like it’s trying to be a trapists or a St. Bernardus. Still amazing vs locals and macros but overall disapointing compaired to other belgian strongs I have had. Somewhat too sweet and definately over carbonated.
