UPDATED: DEC 21, 2021 Clear amber color with little to no head from my bottle. Banana and biscuit aroma and flavor. Nice spice and malt balanced by nice hop profile. Seems like a combination of a dubbel and dunkel weissbier. Low carbonation with slight sweet finish.

UPDATED: DEC 17, 2021 The legend that is Kwak, albeit not served in the famous rack & bulbous glass combination! Hazy/cloudy pale amber with a frothy white head and a sweet and yeasty aroma. It's a sweet, fruity and syrupy concoction, with a slighty musty character to it, it's also a warming, comfortable beer that goes down very smoothly (considering its ABV)

UPDATED: DEC 12, 2021 330ml bottle brewed in Belgium at 8.4%. Clear dark copper-amber with a Belgian 50/50 head, so-so duration. Leafy hedgerow and light toffee-raisin aroma, very lightly toasted bread malt. Could be taken for an English strong ale if it didn't have very faint suggestions of banana and clove. Modest carbonation, rounded chunky body. Initial toffee chewiness. Milk chocolate and leafy juicy raisin finish, very low bitterness. Mellow bready malt throughout. Whispers of banana and raisin juice in the aftertaste. This is evidently mass-produced to high heavens, but is certainly tasty - the smoothness gives it an air of luxury, but connoisseurs of Belgian beer can see the rounded edges as the loss of granularity that they are. Still, this would be a fine introduction to the style - and there's nothing wrong with easy-drinking comfort beer, perhaps even more so at this ABV. Just be careful not to get carried away with how readily this slips down!

UPDATED: DEC 7, 2021 Dark amber/cider color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of malt, yeast, toffee, & dark fruit; Flavor of slight sweet bready malt, yeast, caramel, dark fruit, and some spice; Nicely balanced; Solid Belgium ale.

UPDATED: NOV 27, 2021 Piwo w kolorze ciemnej herbaty klarowne z niezłą pianą. Aromat owoców, głównie suszonych, trochę wanilii i karmelu. W smaku lekko słodkie, estrowe jak typowe mocne belgijskie piwa

UPDATED: NOV 13, 2021 It has been years since I have had Kwak, found a 33 cl bottle recently at the newest craft beer shop locally. I lift the cap before pouring into a snifter from an Austin brewery visited long ago. For a dark ale, it is pretty light, I see a clear, understated amber body finished by a smattering of eggshell brown foam. Nice scent I get, yellow plums, yeast and grain. I take a drink, better than I recall, apricots, raisins, white bread, malt, a creamy yeastiness and plums. Decent, sort of middle of the road for a style I enjoy considerably.

UPDATED: NOV 14, 2021 Amber (despite what my boyfriend Michael says) mildly bubbly, moderately complex flavour palate. It’s like a lager made love to an ale, and they birthed a much loved and adored child of joy. I’m a few beers in, but trust me on the flavour.

UPDATED: NOV 6, 2021 Bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pours a clear brown-amber, brief beige fizzy head, minimal retention. Aroma of pear, light berries, sweet malts, flora, biscuit. Flavour highlights a good malt depth with moreish caramel and biscuit notes alongside some fruitiness, spice, yeast and a strong old bitter and alcohol kick in the finish. Nice medium to full body, slick. Not one of the most refined Belgium ales but it certainly is tasty.

UPDATED: OCT 17, 2021 330ml bottle from Beerhawk. Big off white head, good lacing. Clear dark amber body. Nose is stone fruit, malt, yeast. Flavour is malty biscuit, banana, caramel, yeast. Medium carbonation, good mouthfeel. Good Belgian ale.

UPDATED: SEP 19, 2021 W aromacie jakieś takie estry owocowe. Barwa ciemnozłota, klarowne, piana ładna. W smaku półsłodkie, pełne, słodowe. Pamiętam jak piłem to piwo jakieś 5 lat temu, mega mi smakowało, a teraz jest przeciętne.
