Comments:
A thing of beauty. Orange / amber color, tremendous off white head, little lacing.   Fruit, spice,malt & vanilla aroma.  Very sweet - banana, vanilla, malt, bread & yeast taste.  Not a typical Belgium Ale.  Taste improved as the beer warmed - EXCELLENT.  Pauwel Kwak translates to Fat Paul - the guy featured on the label.  Look at the kick-ass glass!  The glass has a rounded bottom - so a stage coach driver could but the glass in his stirrup - late the wooden shoe was designed  so the rest of us cowboys could use the glass
