Jul 31, 2009 My Carolus Classic was very old (t.h.t. 28-11-10) when I killed it. Too old actually. Should have killed it earlier. Thin head, flat smell, dry and off-sour taste. No significant and present bitterness. Hard to say what is there, easier to sum up what is not there. Flat and ’laf’. Drank fast, got it over with.

Jul 29, 2009 Bottle at Poechenellekelder in Brussels. Deep brown color with a nice tan head. Rich aroma of sweet dark malt, dark fruit, spice, and alcohol. Flavor is malty and sweet with caramel, cherry, plum, chocolate, and spice. Medium-full and smooth on the palate with soft carbonation. Great beer.

Jul 22, 2009 This one poured a mahogany brown color with an off white head. Aroma was rich sweet malts and not much else. Flavor was much the same, very sweet, but nothing sticks out to me at all.

Jul 21, 2009 Bottle, thanks to hobbersr for sharing! Pours deep brown, more a toffee color than cola, thin head, ropey lacing. Smells immediately like Nibs red licorice, loads of fleshy red fruit, sweet cherry, a bit medicinal, a touch of hops, bread, Christmas pudding. Soft, rich palate, more Christmas cake, licorice, mildly boozy. Great!

Jul 20, 2009 350 ml corked bottle. Cork shot up and hit my kitchen ceiling as soon as I got the metal wire seal off. Feisty. Gigantic monterous rocky head. Dark brown clear color. Very effervecent. Aroma of sweet dark fruits, malt, oak, and tartness. Taste is very well balanced with dark sweet cherries, dark malts, yeasty and a little bready. Maybe a little brown sugar and molassas in there too. Complex stuff. This is a great beer!

Jul 19, 2009 Sugary molasses, bread, and dark fruity aroma. A good dose of earthy yeast to compliment the scent. Medium brown color, good amount of lacing and a creamy, lasting off white head. Easy sipping, velvety with a medium to thin feel. Flavor compliments the aroma, only not as impressive. Still plenty of depth with a fair amount of dark, fermented fruits, brown sugar, fresh breads, and musty yeast.

Jul 14, 2009 I shared a bottle of this with BeerBaron617. I like Belgians a lot, and this one does not dissapoint. I have actually have had this on tap at Ashley’s in AA, and think I prefer it in bottle form. It’s a dark straw yellow with a thick white head. Its aroma is sweet and fruity, apples and white grapes. It’s incredibly bubbly, it’s almost like champagne in mouthfeel and taste. It’s light, and refreshing, perfect for a summer evening. I’ll definitely be having this again!
