Nov 9, 2009 Probably the best dark beer with balanced sweetness I’ve tasted so far. Anyway, as dark beers are not my cup of tea I can’t give it high rating.

Nov 9, 2009 Red-brown color with thin head. The aroma of normal level is mainly sweet, where caramel excels.The body is consistent, alcoholic and sweetish. The end is more bitterness.Looking at the other votes, I am very disappointed by this beer.

Nov 8, 2009 Poured a deep copper/ruby color with a thin head. The aroma was very enticing with obvious yeasty and thick malty notes, along with very interesting sweet prune and almost apple-ish hints. Taste dominated by caramel and Belgian yeast. Very smooth despite the higher alcohol content.

does not count  Nov 5, 2009 Bottle, 330 ml. Nice dark amber in color with beige head... that stays . Smells of caramel, fruits, spice and booze. To me this is like a Trappist... from start to finish has that kind of body and complexity. I would buy again without a second thought.

Nov 5, 2009 Bottle, 750ml. Pours dark mahogany, with head that diminishes without disappearing completely. Lacing too. Fruity aroma, with notes of sweet malts and alcohol. Round on the palate, more reminiscent of a Trappist quadrupel than a triple. Dried fruits suffused with caramel on the tongue, with a very pleasing mouthfeel. Very decent ale.

Nov 1, 2009 Bottle in a trappist glass. For something "Gulden," it’s pretty dark - a very clear brown-amber. Nice head, too. Aroma of spice, nut, bread, and sweet fruit. Caramel toffee sweetness builds atop a strong malt background, accompanied by a bit of yeastiness. Finishes to alcohol and spice. This beer knows what it’s trying to do and does it well. Powerful, warming, and pleasantly sweet. I’m surprised I’ve never tried this one before.
