Gulden Draak Classic Dark Red Tripel 330ml

An enduring symbol of excellence for over six centuries demands an equally remarkable beer. Gulden Draak, akin to the majestic dragon overlooking the city, has been celebrated as one of the world's finest beers for years. This dark tripel stands out not only for its exceptional classification but also for its intricate flavor profile, featuring notes of caramel, roasted malt, and coffee, which render it truly unique.

In essence, the beer lives up to its storied name.

The secondary fermentation employs a wine yeast, imparting an unparalleled taste and facilitating long-term flavor evolution, characteristic of a living beer. As the beer ages, its aroma intensifies, and its taste and color become more robust and full-bodied.

Storing several large bottles for extended maturation is highly recommended to fully appreciate its evolving complexity.

Gulden Draak's versatility makes it an excellent choice as an aperitif, a delightful complement to dessert, or a leisurely indulgence. This "barley wine" pairs harmoniously with various dishes, particularly enhancing stews, notably a traditional Ghent stew. It also enriches red meat sauces, such as bordelaise, and serves as an ideal dessert beer, especially when paired with dark chocolate.
