  • Kwak is recognisable by its deep bright amber colour and dense, creamy coloured head. The pale wood of its glass holder creates a pleasant contrast with the beer.
  • Mellow, fruity and malty aroma with a slightly spicy character (coriander, hops). Additional earthy and very subtle aromas of banana.
  • A very mellow, fruity attack, a nougat-like solidity, and a slightly spicy character with hints of liquorice passing into a warm finish redolent of caramelised banana.
  • Remarks
    In Napoleon’s time, coachmen were not allowed to leave their coach and horses to have their thirst quenched along with their passengers. As a result, the inventive brewer Pauwel Kwak had a special Kwak glass blown that could be hung on the coach.
