I suppose I didn't have the full Pauwel Kwak experience.  The is supposed to be consumed out of a tall glass supported in a wooden stand but I wasn't keen on spending a lot of money on e-Bay to buy this.  Some day I might try it at the beerbistro where I think they have the proper gear or Sin and Redemption where I know they do.
