asedzie (414), San Francisco, California, USA Mar 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours sparkling dark amber with large rocky off-white head. Aroma is bready, with toasted grain, honey, pepper, chalk, moderate herbs and grassiness, along with hints of citrus lemon. Some doughy - earthy yeastiness. Flavor is moderately sweet, with moderate bitterness. Finish has mild sour-acidic flavor with light bitterness, citric hop flavors stand out. Body is moderately full, with some dryness, slightly syrupy. Alcohol is present.
Skidds (214), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Dec 2, 2008 Pours an orange/gold with a thick, foamy nicely laced white head. Aroma is quite fruity and yeasty with a hint of spices. Flavour about the same with sour and bitter notes. Great. VTHopHead (709), Barre, Vermont, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle - Poured a darkish amber in color with a small white head that faded to a thin rim around the top of the beer. A small amount of lacing on the glass. Aroma is quite malty and heavy with Belgian yeastiness... some citrus noted as well. Flavor is very fruity... apples, pears, cherries, lemon... with a plenty of malts and some spices (coriander, of course). Slight sourness with the citrus. Finishes with a nice hop bitterness. Alcohol, although apparent as you drink the beer, is not distinct in the flavor. Arrr... I like this one... Imperial-John (113), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Nov 29, 2008 Dark golden with a white foamy head. Yeasty aroma. Smooth creamy yeasty bread taste, hides alcohol well. lawbagada (5), , Maryland, USA does not count Nov 29, 2008 Solid beer if you like strong Belgian Ales. Piraat has plenty of spice, body, and alcohol to put you down for the night. I didn’t think that the taste of this beer was as fruity as it was spicy with loads of coriander and and honey. Good sipping beer that grabs the back of your throat as you swallow. If you don’t know what I mean by that...try it. JonnyDr (128), , South Yorkshire, England Nov 27, 2008 Golden beer with frothy yellow head. Malty with metallic and heavily alcoholic. Average for the style.
