Mar 14, 2009 A lovely gurgling sound emanates from the bottle as it pours a dark, clear liquid. The smell is divinity touched with caramel and malt. A delicate taste rapidly gives was to malts which are then quickly pushed aside by beautiful caramel vixens, spreading their sweetness all over the room.

Mar 11, 2009 Thick, creamy head. Spices in the aroma. Liquorice taste. Great beer, but overclassed by its Christmas version.

Mar 4, 2009 Thanks to HogTownHarry. Pretty dark brown/black. Large off white head. Aroma: peppery, malt, slight chocolate. Nail varnish remover, alcohol. Flavour: chewy toffee, malt, chocolate, alcohol and shoe polish LOL. However it has a lovely long smooth chocolate malt finish. Lovely.

Mar 3, 2009 Roasted malt and perhaps a little vinegar in this pour. Opaque appearance with a creamy head that stuck around for the duration. Flavor has some apricot, grapes, burnt sugar, toast, apple vinegar and was a bit grassy at times. Palate was full bodied and lively but also bubbly at the finish. Good stuff.

Feb 5, 2009 330 ml/11.2 oz bottle. The write-up on the side of the bottle said that Gouden Carolus would charm me, and it did. This is one of those commercially produced Belgian strong ales that is better than most of the beer produced by the Trappists. I’ll be getting a bomber next time.

Feb 3, 2009 Bottle. Moderate malt aroma of roasted, caramel and milk chocolate, light herbs for the hops, and moderate barnyard and musty of the yeast, with hints of date, toffee and brown sugar. Head is large, frothy, very light brown with good lacing and is fully lasting. Color is murky dark brown. Flavor starts moderately to heavily sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is medium to full, creamy and has a fizzy carbonation. It finishes sticky. This was a very good Belgian Strong Ale, just a bit too much carbonation.
