BOSTEELS Kwak - 330ml
Product Details
Pauwel Kwak is a Belgian strong ale with a deep amber color and creamy off-white head. It has a sweet aroma of caramel, banana, and dark fruits, with a touch of spicy yeast. The taste is rich and malty, with notes of toffee, raisins, and bread, balanced by a subtle hop bitterness and a warming alcohol finish. The distinctive glass shape and wooden holder enhance the drinking experience, making it a fun beer to share with friends, or to spill clumsily down yourself. Quite often in bars, you have to leave a shoe as a deposit for the glass. Kwak is a well-crafted beer that showcases the Belgian brewing tradition.UNTAPPD SCORE 3.78

BREWERY INFO
Brewery BosteelsIn the hands of the Bosteels family for over 200 years, the brewery relies today on the craftmanship of seven generations. In 1791, Jean-Baptist Bosteels established the brewery, and has been followed by generations who took over the brewery and never stop brewing, even during the world wars. At that time, the brewery played such an important role in the town, the family Bosteels were such influential people that we are not surprised that 3 of the 7 generations have been Town Mayors. In the year 1930’s Antoine Bosteels, 5th generation, carried on the brewing dynasty and played an important role expanding the sales of the Bosteels Pils into other regions such as Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels. His son Ivo Bosteels honored the iconic beer of Pauwel Kwak by bringing it back to the market in 1980; this is the beginning of the strong beers for Brewery Bosteels. In the year 1990, Ivo’s son, Antoine Bosteels, the 7th generation, understood the potential of strong speciality beers and especially the trend for blond ones. Driven by passion of the art of brewing and guided by his creativity, Antoine is at the roots of the succes of Tripel Karmeliet and DeuS Brut des Flandres.
