About the beer

Like the dragon atop the city, Gulden Draak has been one of the best beers in the world for years. It is a dark tripel, which in itself makes it an exceptional beer, but the complex flavour 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 which is decisive for its unique flavour and ensures long-term taste evolution (= living beer). The more it ages, the more aromas it gains and the fuller the flavour and colour become. Therefore, it is worth keeping a few (or many!) bottles for many years!

Gulden Draak is easy to drink as an aperitif, for dessert, or whenever you have time to enjoy it. This "barley wine" pairs perfectly with stews, the typical Ghent-style in particular. It is used in red meat sauces such as bordelaise and is ideal for desserts, especially those with dark chocolate.
