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.

This is the finest Belg. I have ever tasted, bar none. Light, complex, a thing of beauty. I can’t drink as many as my palate desires. The label is so incredibly cheezy, but what is inside is sooo special.

when the description says it packs a mighty punch they are not lying. the aroma is that of lemon and fruit the flavor is very strong with the hit of alcohol with first sip then when the beer starts to warm the alcohol is not as strong this ale keeps me on my feet i really enjoy the punch it gives that is why i gave it a 10+ on my list of fav beers

Had this last night for the first time, best brew I’ve ever had. Previous reviewer gives it a 5/20??? But then again he calls Crown Royal a ’stellar’ whiskey. The only thing Crown Royal has going for it is the packaging and that’s it, it tastes like crap. CC 12yo is 10 times better than Crown Royal and about the same price. Have an acquaintance whose son thinks Crown Royal is the greatest, when he comes over she buys cheap whiskey, puts it into an old Crown Royal bottle, and he doesn’t know the frigging difference.

I caught a glimpse of it’s viscosity as I poured the first few ounces. Full nectar indeed as I smile. I see the tiny bubbles form this thick froth, as it rises the aroma spills from the goblet into the air creating a symphonic prelude of the olfactory sense. Dough, spices, florals, tropicals, malts, as I watch the goblet fill with golden honey nectar I anticipate it’s crescendo. Just as I suspected, a full bodied ale with flavors perfectly ballanced to confirm this fine ensamble. A touch of sweetness lends just the right amount of distraction to soften the high alcoholic disposition. Banana fruit, vanilla, bubblegum, spice, honey, w/ an asprin tingle on the finish. As with most fine Belgian’s let this one warm a bit, the flavors will intensify. Highly recommended. This is a utility brew.

My favorite beer. THICK head, sweet nose, high alcohol but not noticable. Sweet on palate with nice citrus notes

This is the top of the beer food chain for my liking. Did not score it perfect because it would mean that I no longer need to search for the perfect beer. Overall great color, flavor, aroma, and aftertaste. Plus, a bottle of this at 10% will start or end your night with a little WOW.
