Gouden Carolus Classic

Brown red colour. Medium carbonation. A lot of fruits like raisins, plums, prunes & cherry. Almost overpowering or harsh. It has a good body and long finish, but personally this is the least good Het Anker brew that I’ve tasted! Still worth checking out!

Robe rubis très claire surmontée d’une mousse beige mince. Arômes de cersies, d’épices, d’alcool, de malt et de bonbon. Saveurs de bonbon, de cerise, de levure et d’épices.

Bottled. Cloudy ruby colour with offwhite mediumsized head. Plum, sweet caramel in aroma. Flavour is plummy, fruity and a bit wheaty. Also raisins in the flavour. Sweet sugary aftertaste.

2002 bottle from Bottleworks. Nice dark red color with medium head. Incredible malty aroma, lots of caramel & banana. Very tasty beer....deep, deep malt taste. Tastes of maple syrup and some slight hops coming through. Very carbonated with a thick texture. Leaves an impression on your tongue for a while.

Tried this the other night. It reminds of a rodenbach or a duchuos duborgois. A belgian red ale with a nice malty charecter. Sweeter then it is tart, yet subtle and very nice to drink.

A light beige head tops off a reddish brown body. The nose is malty, some berries, dried fruit, hops. Soft carbonation, medium body, slightly watery. Flavor was a bit coarse and unpleasant.

Pours honey brown with sweet french toast on the nose. Full nectar with minimal froth yet ample residual effers. Tastes like grandma’s french toast smothered in maple syrup and fresh berries. Well ballanced. Alcohol is well hidden. Long semi sweet finish. Tastey.

Good oak colored body with a medium volume light tan head. Coffee, malts, and tea accents are most present in the aroma. Great taste, caramel, toffee, light malts.... this is somewhat similar to the Westy 12. Light alcohol burn in the ending, though it’s mostly sweet.
