Feb 5, 2006 Pours dark brown with a mostly receding tan head. Aroma of plums, figs, sweet yeasty bread, earthy toffee malt, and rye. Taste is vinous malts and oak with dark Belgian fruits. Notes of candied fruits, dusty yeast, and bread. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with lush carbonation. Subdued alcohol note. Very enjoyable!

Feb 1, 2006 Intense and warming with flavors of dried fruits, plums, dates, figs, raisins, molasses, brown sugar, orange rind, and very prominent alcohol fumes that intensifies as it warms. Very sticky, almost cloying mouthfeel. To be sipped slowly and savored, except that slows down the process of ordering and enjoying a second one!

Jan 31, 2006 Pours a deep red-prune colour...says its supposed to be copper? Nice fluffy head above the clouds. Smooth malts, molasses, some rum qualities, sugar and lots of dark fruit. very well balanced and heavily enjoyable. Some smooth sweet chocolate undertones for the aftertaste. This is a well balanced and clean, yet chewy brew. Didn’t even realize I had finished it and was a bit sad I didnt get more. the 8% really bounces in after a while on ya:) wooOOoOO

Jan 26, 2006 (33cl bottle) Pours a huge, frothy, tan head that doesn’t quit. The body is a deep reddish brown. The nose hints of fresh figs, jamaican molasses, barrel-aged bourbon, lemons and plums. Very sweet - maple syrup, refined sugar and caramel. I’d definitely rejoin this beer for another tasting.

Jan 25, 2006 This poured the color of root beer popsicles and looked nice & fancy in the gold rimmed glass with the gold "Gouden Carolus" emblem. It smelled of plums and raisins with maple somewhere in the taste or smell as it warmed. The flavor was smokey wtih citrus on the back of my tongue and smooth alcohol, not bitter or overpowering. It had a honeyish texture and was vaguely Meditteranean in theory (or at least what I think meditteranean would taste like when I read books set there). I had this on tap at the Maple Tree, but would enjoy having it on hand.

Jan 19, 2006 Pours a reddish brown beer with a small but persisting beige, creamy head. Huge banana-toffee aroma, also notes of grapes and a small note of alcohol. Sweet taste, chocolate-dipped grapes, good malts. Low level of carbonation, which I usually quite like, it really brings on the taste better. Medium to wellbodied, slight alcoholburn. Delightful, truly deserves it’s reputation.

Jan 10, 2006 Aroma is sweet fruit with something that’s almost tart. I’d say it’s sour apple way in the background. Hint of alcohol in the pour. The tartness is less prevelant in the flavor. Soft mouthfeel. Very fruity (red fruit...can’t pick it out exactly) and very nice overall.
