Brewed in honor of the original seafarers of the 19th century, Piraat Ale seemed destined to be aged in Rum barrels. The Belgian classic and perennial gold medal winner is aged in barrels for the first time since it’s inception. At 10.5% ABV the beer has a large malt profile which produces flavors of country bread and dried fruits. Due to secondary fermentation in the bottle, Piraat has always been regarded as one of smoothest strong golden ales ever brewed. By aging it in rum barrels the beer picks up vanilla accents, which further rounds out the beer without overpowering the spicy quality which has made Piraat famous.

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

    Pours clear topaz with a thick and fairly persistent ivory head. Aroma offers strong, sweet fruity, rum and malty notes with a woody hint. Flavor yields tropical and pomme fruit, rum, woody and fresh malt, very drinkable and enjoyable - and strong enough to remind one to drink it slowly. Texture provides smooth, fairly firm body and perky fizz. Avast, matey, a real treasure!
