Jun 3, 2003 The aroma is slightly sweet, malty, fruity, and with notes of berries. The color is a beutiful deep red with a beutiful though fast disappearing head. The flavor is a little sweet from a good malt blend - a pretty complex flavor. An OK beer without being fantastic.

Nov 23, 2003 Bottled. Clear nut brown, rich head. Mild coffee up front. Dry with fine elastic, firm maltiness. Notes of chocolate. Salty, woody finish. Simply beautiful.

May 12, 2005 Updated: Jan 8, 2006(Bottle 33 cl) Deep reddish brown colour, light brown head. Very refinened malty charamel flavours well balanced with the hops. Extremely high gravity and hence a very full body. A very refined Belgian Ale with lots of sweetness, but never cloying. When I first had this in 1993 it was just called "Gouden Carolus" at 7% ABV and came in a bottle with no label. In 1997 it was changed to "Gouden Carolus - Carolus D’Or" at 7,5% ABV and now it’s called "Gouden Carolus Classic" at 8,5% ABV. So it has changed quite a bit but is still a truly Belgian classic. 240793

Dec 27, 2000 Rich, dark Belgian ale. Strong dark fruit notes, and probably too much yeast for my tastes.

May 28, 2007 33 cL bottle. Pours deep brown with an amber border. Creamy light brown head. Aroma is dark, dried fruit and wineous. Flavour is dark cane sugar, caramel burned malt, wineous, sweet dried fruit (prunes and raisins). Not overly sweet but just perfectly present. Distinct alcohol presence. Soft malty finish.
