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.

Jul 4, 2003 Nasty candy Sugar Daddy flavor. Horrible. Sweet sewage, at best. Never again.

Apr 13, 2009 Poured dark brown with lighter ruby hints. Head was thick and near tan in color. The aroma was malts, yeast, raisin and cherry. Later on a bit of chocolate came out. The flavor was raisin, yeast, malts and some chocolate. Lots of carbonation. Almost medium in body.

Jul 31, 2004 Bottle: Dark brown with a heavy beige head. Aroma of burnt coffee and caramel. Alcohol comes through very strong killing all else and not allowing to appreciate anything else. At 8.5% this should not be an issue, it should not be noticable.

Sep 8, 2007 Pours a very deep and dark amber with a slight bit of cloud on it. Big head of course. Some lacing too. On the nose it is mildly sweet. The flavor is excellent. I would describe it as mature instead of mild. Kind of hearty on the start with a smooth fruit start, and then later you get a bit of the 8% alcohol, and then on the end you get a roasted flavor. Complex, but smooth, and not over-pronounced as a whole. Definitely worth going back to. I’d love to get some more of these and lay them down for a while.

Dec 23, 2008 Bottle. Sweet malty and fruity aroma. Hazy dark reddish brown body, creamy beige head. Flavor is ripe fruit sweet, with plenty of caramel and malt evident, and a bit of intrusive alcohol. Sweet finish. Tasty, but not superlative. Disappointing on the whole.
