Van Steenberge strong ale

Such an impressive symbol that has been around for more than six centuries requires an equally impressive beer. Like the dragon at the top of the city, Gulden Draak has been one of the world's best beers for years. It is a dark tripel, which in itself makes it an exceptional beer, but the complex taste with notes of caramel, roasted malt, and coffee makes it unique.

In short, the beer is worthy of its name.

For the secondary fermentation, a wine yeast is used that determines the unparalleled taste and ensures the long-term taste evolution (living beer). The older the beer gets, the more aroma it develops, and the fuller the taste and color become.

So it is certainly worth keeping a few large bottles and allowing them to mature for many years.

Gulden Draak is easy to drink as an aperitif, dessert, or just when you have time to enjoy. This barley wine harmonizes perfectly with stews, particularly with a Ghent stew. It also enhances sauces with red meat, such as bordelaise, and is ideal as a dessert beer, especially with dark chocolate.
