Sep 9, 2008 Dark reddish brown, bubbly, with a thick creamy tan head. Very Belgian aroma, sweet raisin, grape candy, fruitcake. The great thing about this beer is the aroma tells you exactly what to expect from the taste. Sweet grape, raisin, fruitcake witth enough carbonation to remind you are having a beer. Alcohol blends so well you can be fooled into having a few. Have this one instead of desert.

Sep 7, 2008 Porco boia che buona la Gouden Carolus; se vi dico che mi aspettavo tutt’altra birra mi credete?? Versa di un colore scuro bellissimo con schiuma beige chiara, molta e compatta; l’aroma è complesso e dolce, un poco vinoso, caramelloso ma con sentori di legna bruciata e di sera d’inverno. Il sapore è fantastico e intrigante, una complessità di cacao, ribes nero e crema di latte si ammoscia leggermente nel mezzo in un calore alcolico pronunciato per poi rispuntare nel finale e nel retrogusto. Una birra stratosferica.

does not count  Sep 3, 2008 750ml bottle bought from Brewery Creek and poured into a Chimay chalice. Deep garnet in colour with a full, tight, cream head. Malty aroma with cherry, prune, and raisin. Moderately malty and sweet taste; smooth with slightly bitter finish. Moderate carbonation and medium body. Dark, smooth, complex, warming.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle (in NZ), pours a dark brown with a reddish hue, and a large frothy head that didn’t hold on for long. On the nose we have some medicinal malt, wood, grapes and cherries. There is a tempting subtleness to the aroma. The palate is equally complex - very smooth, with a crispness through the swallow. The malt is chocolately and leathery, with a glazed fruit flavour. This is delicious!
