The 2004 is an especially good year- this beer ages well, poors well, has great aroma, ok color- and great lasting flavor. I was picking up some sweet raisins- and molasses- great if you can find it.

Dec 29, 2009 2007 version. Full malt richness, with caramel and dark fruits--a step richer than the Classic. Lots of cherry. Silky smooth--perfect body. Rich and well-balanced. Superb.

Dec 29, 2009 2008 Bottle, dark, almost black, normal beige head. Malts, yeast and candy in the nose. Taste is malty, dark, herbal, a bit sweet, hoppy and and a nice, average finish.
The second glass reveals a thick, almost syrupy creamy taste, but also a smell of pee. Nevertheless a good beer, but not above the classic Gouden Carolus imo.

Dec 17, 2009 This beer pours a dark brown almost black with a thin tan head that dissipates quickly. The aromas are light citrus and dough. The flavor is sweet and yeasty and not too dry. This was a pleasure to drink. Cheers!

Dec 16, 2009 2008 bottle. Crap, I thought this was a quad. Dark reddish brown pour with off white, whispy head. Brown sugar, raisin, belgian yeast, candi sugar. Flavor is pruney, grapey, caramel, some dates. A bit of Belgian yeast and maybe a touch of spice. A bit vinous. Syrupy mouthfeel with some nice carbonation. Finishes sweet. Pretty decent belgian,
