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!

Jul 4, 2005 33 cl Bottle. Storage 2 year. Beautiful in dark brown colour, and a dense brown head. Wonderful aroma of choclate and dried fruit. Complex in taste and hints of toffe and choclate and a warm aftertaste. Really a great beer.

Jul 21, 2005 Updated: Aug 18, 2005My new favorite beer. Beautiful brown caramel color. Toffee chocolate smell which mirrors the taste. It is a little thin in body. If the body was thicker it would be perfect. Malty Butterscotch toffee taste. Gets sweeter as the taste flows. Excellent!!!! Tasted at Bieres & Compagnie 4350 St. Denis, Montreal.

Apr 5, 2006 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.

Mar 9, 2007 Updated: Sep 19, 2008Sem palavras... Coloração marrom escura avermelhada. Exceleeeeeeeente creme, denso, macio, de coloração bege. Aroma e paladar queimados, com notas de café, torrefação, chocolate, baunilha, sei lá... Sinto licor em algum lugar. Putz, até o aroma é cremoso, se é que isso é possível. Ela desce densa, aveludada, cremosa, lembrando demais a Westvleteren. Carbonatação média, maravilhosa... O álcool está tão bem inserido que, embora presente, você quase não nota. Conjunto soberbo!!! No final, fica um paladar levemente amargo, predominando o café. Da próxima vez comprarei uma dúzia. Clap! Clap! Clap!

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.

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.
