The DARK is a triple in strength. It is the sweetest of the three Bieres du Boucanier, caramelized and malty. The creamy strong head is striking. A great dessert beer.
Biere du Boucanier Golden
Golden Triple Ale
View Website
Belgium
This golden ale is treasured in the best restaurants and the most exclusive bars.
It probably has one of the meanest labels, but its taste is a sublime combination of bitterness (hops) and sweetness (the rich malt), all complimented by a specific spiciness infused by a combination of three exclusive yeasts. An all natural process. To reach such high alcohol levels, the brewer must start with three times the normal amount of the best barley malt, and give the yeast many weeks to do its fermentation work. More, the beer is also refermented in the bottle (and the keg!). This technique keeps the beer alive and fresh for many years, while producing a natural carbonation.
Food combinations as suggested by our Italian beer-lovers: “Enjoy this beer as an appetizer while entertaining your friends, or as your beer of choice with rich Italian pasta’s (the alcohol seems to help the digestion), or as your end of the day reward.”

Estrella Daura is a 5.4% mainstream pilsner lager with a universal flavour and character.
The high quality of the beer is due to the fine selection of ingredients – ensuring that Daura has all the taste, but none of the gluten of a regular beer.

JOSEPH is a WIT, a real Wheat-beer. It is brewed from SPELT. Spelt is "poor-man's wheat". Spelt is a very old member of the wheat family.
New interests in health-food are reviving the demand for Spelt. The fruity, slightly acid taste of a real WIT-beer is here present, and it is enriched by an exclusive taste and aroma, that you don't find in any other WIT-beer.
The color is yellow, and cloudy, because of the nature of the beer (Wit, unfiltered) and the refermentation in the Champagne bottle. It is a very light and refreshing beer, 100% natural, brewed along the finest artisanal Belgian traditions. Maybe the only spelt-beer in the world.
Roll the bottle before opening!
FOOD-COMBINATIONS: It is a very light and refreshing beer, for 100 % natural, brewed along the finest artisanal Belgian traditions. Seafood and Salads.
Kapittel Abt
Abbey Ale
View Website
Belgium
ABT: Abt is Dutch for Abbot, thus the leader of the Abbey. No surprise this beer is named “Abt”, since it is also the leader of the Kapittel beers, the beer with the highest alcohol content (10% Alc. By Vol.), a Triple.
And a beautiful triple it is--refermented in the bottle, only good to drink after a few months aging, which is done at the brewery, and ready to be aged for up to 30 years.
As with most Belgian triples, the color tends to be paler, in this case amber, with good head retention. Of course you taste the alcohol, but this is well complimented with a very complex aroma and mouth feel. Round, malty, not very bitter (hoppy), slightly sweet (depending on age) balanced with fruity (Lemon ? Orange ?) hints on the tongue. Lasting taste.
A warming beer, a dessert on its own. Such triples were reserved for the Abbots and the Bishops, and on special Holy days the rest of the Abbey could feast as well on this delicious drink of the Gods.
Food Combinations: triples are often consumed to wet the appetite before a meal. More often they are drank sitting with good friendly company, be it in the middle of the afternoon outside in the sun, or in the evening after dinner enjoying company and engaging in discussions of all the subjects people’s minds and hearts bring up. With dinner, we suggest the Kapittel Abt with desserts like ice cream (pour some on your ice-cream), and even with ‘white’ looking dishes like white fish, pastas, etc.
Kapittel Blond
Blond Ale
View Website
Belgium
BLOND: The youngest of the four beers was added to the collection in the 1990’s. Just as abbeys try to strengthen their communities by attracting new young monks, brewery Van Eecke introduced this blond Kapittel to answer the demand for paler beers in its home markets of Belgium, France and Spain. The Blond has a surprising smooth finish, is easy to drink with its 6.5 % Alc. By Vol. Although some may call this beer a “strong Belgian blond”. The classic Van Eecke hoppyness is a nice and pleasant characteristic, after all, the brewery is located in the last remaining hops region of Belgium.
Food combinations: ideal on a sunny terrace, and with all fish, salads and pasta dishes.
Kapittel Prior
Abbey Ale
View Website
Belgium
The Prior was and is the leader of a smaller abbey community. He is the “primo inter pares” (the first among equals). Established abbeys had several off-shoots, smaller communities living on farms or settlements, sometimes far away from the original abbey for example in Northern and Eastern parts of Europe, later in the colonies, today in third world countries. With its 9 % Alc. By Vol. this darker beer is certainly a Triple Ale with a bitter sweet taste. The hoppy characteristics of all the Van Eecke ales is prominently present.
Food Combinations: rather with meat than fish, hearty meals, and any time you have the opportunity to savor a great beer in a relaxed environment.
Kappitel Pater
Abbey Ale
View Website
Belgium
PATER: this red-brown abbey ale can be considered a “single”, meaning a beer that was made for the guests of the abbey and for everyday consumption. This of course is a top-fermenting ale, refermented in the bottle, thus kept alive, which means you can age the beer for a few years. The head is strong and keeps well.
The aroma lets us think of sweet burning wood, and the taste repeats the burning sense and gives us hints of sweet peaches, ending in a light hoppy bitterness (6% Alc. By Vol.).
Food combinations: this is a nice all day drinking beer that goes well with lunch and dinner. Typically you would drink it at lunch with sandwiches, cheeses and meats. Even a spicy salad would be a nice combination. Since the color of the beer is dark, you would normally combine it more with meat dishes instead of fish, but I wouldn’t exclude it. The beer has a soft, slightly sweet taste, which is attractive to set off spicy or outspoken biting tastes in the food.

Petrus Oud Bruin
Brown Ale
View Website
Belgium
Dark ruby red, as red wine. The style is also called the Burgundy of Flanders, and is a very typical and common beer in West Flanders. A sour-sweet balance is discovered, set off by the underlying bitterness of the hops. Light in alcohol, the alcohol doesn’t hide or overpower the exciting flavors and tastes in this unique beer. Although cold serving is recommended, taking your time to drink it will release more aromas and exciting wooden flavors towards the end of your glass.
Wooden flavors? Indeed, Old Brown beer is aged for over two years in huge oak casks. During this aging process, just like in wine, lactic acids develop. These acids are responsible for the sour part in the taste. Only tasting on a regular basis can tell the brewer when the beer is ready to come out of the oak barrels and to be blended with fresh brewed beer. This blend of beer is then bottled. The dark red color comes from the type of barley malts that are used, in combination with the aging in oak. Fine beer tasters recognize the "oak" and the "old", which are defining the complexity of this beer. PETRUS Old Brown may remind you of Port Wine.
Serve cool, between 45˚ and 54˚F.
FOOD COMBINATIONS: PETRUS Old Brown is an excellent thirst quencher thanks to its light sourness. It is an excellent beer to marinate fish or meat in it, or to steam shrimp. Richer meat dishes, or heavy pasta dishes where the light sourness of PETRUS is looked for to offset the sweetness of the sauce. Look at the PETRUS as an aoky better red wine, and you have an excellent food companion.

Voted overall Best Amber Beer (Gold medal) in the California Microbrew Beer Festival 1995.
In the 17th and 18th century, strong ale like the Piraat was highly prized by the seafaring captains for its keeping qualities and its high and healthy food value. The daily distribution of a pint of this ale kept the pirates in good health and gave them the spirit to survive the hard life on the sea. One had no water on a ship, but wine or strong beer that could be kept for months on the sea. Piraat is a wickedly rich and rounded brew that packs a mighty punch. The powerful glow builds up from inside. Deep golden with a subtle haze. Lots of hops and malt. Mild sweetness. Reminiscent of bread dough, spices and tropical fruits.
FOOD COMBINATIONS: goes with fish and meat. Is often appreciated as an after dinner beer and cigar lovers claim there is no better beer to enjoy with a cigar. Excellent to prepare for a good night sleep. Relaxing.

Dishes where the bitterness of the beer can offset the sweetness of the food. Depending on the sauces, white fish dishes, chicken pastas, and game may be a good match. This beer is very refreshing, and cleanses the pallet perfectly with every sip, which makes it the beer to taste food.

Sara Buckwheat, the “black” grain, called “Sarrasin” in French, and “Grikki” in Russian is a very common grain in Southern Europe and in Russia. These names let us believe that the grain originally came from the Middle East, and was introduced in Europe by the Greek. Buckwheat is a grain that grows fast (ripe in less than three months) and grows on poor land. Buckwheat offers extremely good food value, and has been known for thousands of years to restore unbalanced digestive systems, and help lower blood pressure.

An old friend of Bavaria, Munich Dunkels are smooth, rich and complex, but without being heady or heavy. They boast brilliant ruby hues from the large amounts of Munich malts used, and these malts also lend a fuller-bodied beer. The decoction brewing process also lends much depth and richness. Bitterness is often moderate, with just enough to balance out any sweetness.

Troubadour
Blond Ale
View Website
Belgium
The clear, golden, attractive color is what strikes you first. A firm white head is the crown of this golden ale. Your first experience, while sipping the BLOND, will be a refreshing, sparkling effect on your tongue, followed by a mild bitterness enhanced by a spiciness, that finishes with a sweeter sensation. A good nose recognizes the hops, in combination with fruity esters.
With its 6.5 % alcohol by volume it is somewhat stronger in alcohol content than regular beers, but it’s not overpowering, and it allows one to easily drink more than one glass--especially with dinner, where we recommend it certainly with fish dishes. Although it is a typical beer to sharpen the appetite, while drinking it with your friends, family or business partners before actually having dinner. And of course we will not refrain you from drinking a few more after dinner while having more fun with your company.
Troubadour Obscura
Mild Stout Ale
View Website
Belgium
Pretty dark color, as you would expect from a stout. Slightly more red-brown, though, when compared with Irish stouts. A dense rich creamy beige head crowns your glass. Thanks to the refermentation in the bottle, we have the natural carbonation. The flavors are deeper, richer, more pronounced: malty, clearly roasted (is it hints of coffee, is it hints of chocolate?) Deceptive, because the relatively high alcohol content is not immediately felt, except maybe a slight glowing sensation. A complex aftertaste, with some licorice undertones, and a pleasant bitterness survives last. Absolutely a beer to savor and enjoy—let you taste buds experience every ounce of flavor. A lot of lace is left on the empty glass.
Food recommendations: more a beer to have with your main course. The pronounced taste makes it an ideal match for dishes with strong tasting sauces. Let it fight, let it compensate. Some will enjoy this beer as their last beer of the day, or as dessert. Another ideal occasion would be the middle of the afternoon sitting on a patio with friends, or watching people go by. This beer clearly reminds you of the Good Life.
