A 10.5% ABV Belgian strong ale brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge and bottled in a 750ml format. It won a Gold Medal at the 2012 World Beer Cup and is unfiltered and bottle-refermented. The brewery has brewed in Ertvelde, near Ghent, since 1784. Piraat is brewed with barley malt, hops, sugar and wine yeast, which gives it a vinous complexity uncommon in Belgian strong ales. Sweet caramel and bready malt lead the aroma, with herbal and citrusy esters, orange zest and Belgian yeast spice. The palate brings caramel malt, ripe dried fruit, peppery phenolics, lemongrass and clove spice, finishing with dry hop bite, black pepper and bready malt.
