Beer Porridge

Beer Porridge

The best, a kick in the nuts, beer porridge… whatever you want to call it. I was first introduced to The Draak by Eddie, my fast talking beer slinging tender at my favourite watering hole in Toronto and I’ve been hooked ever since. At 10.5%, this sauce will have you giving the hairy eyeball to everyone in the bar after only three or four bottles. Ideally served in a Tulip or Chalice style glass this Belgium treat is meant for your tasting pleasure and not for pounding (I speak from experience). A strong alcohol aroma is emitted once poured but all forgotten once you take a backhand to the chops from the powerful fruit and coffee explosion. Intake should be monitored as this Dark Triple is definitely one to be reckoned with – if you intend in drinking three or more of these lovely ladies, be prepared for a foggy memory the next day.
