Gulden Draak Classic Dark Red Tripel 330ml

An emblem as venerable as a six-century-old symbol demands a beer of equivalent distinction. Gulden Draak, much like the revered dragon perched atop the city, has consistently ranked among the world's finest beers. This dark tripel stands out not only for its category but also for its intricate flavor profile, characterized by notes of caramel, roasted malt, and coffee.

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

The secondary fermentation process employs a wine yeast, contributing to its unique taste and facilitating a dynamic flavor evolution over time, rendering it a 'living beer.' As the beer matures, it develops richer aromas and a more robust taste and color profile.

Therefore, it is highly recommended to cellar a few large bottles and allow them to age gracefully over the years.

Gulden Draak proves versatile, suitable as an aperitif, a dessert, or simply for leisurely enjoyment. This "barley wine" pairs exceptionally well with stews, particularly Ghent stew, and enhances sauces accompanying red meats such as bordelaise. It also shines as a dessert beer, particularly when paired with dark chocolate.
