Bosteels, Pauwel Kwak (Belgium) 
Bottled in 75cl with a Champagne cork, Kwak also comes in 33cl bottles. This strong Belgian beer pours a ruby / dark amber colour, with a tight, persistent white head. The nose has wheaty aromas with clove and spices, but also a toffeed note and hints of estery banana. In the mouth it is medium-bodied but smooth, with a nice lightness of touch and a racy lemon fruit quality giving and initial impression of crispness, then the subtle toffee and malty notes come through, with a biscuity richness and some cherry fruit. Despite the high alcohol, this does retain a sense of freshness and the dry, quite bitter finish also keeps it clean and dangerously drinkable. 8.0% ABV, 75cl, �4.15, Euro-beer, Onlyfinebeer, Beerritz, Sainsbury's. |  |
