From the 1st sip I fell in love with this beer, the aroma reminded me of banana’s as well as the flavor, very aromatic and nice bubbles, though some might not like this, I found it to be pleasant and relaxing.

This has a very rich flavor and aroma, I don’t know much about belgium beers or beers in general but this is one of the best beers I have ever tasted

Pours a dark purplish brown with a foamy beige head. Wonderful aroma of chocolate, raisin, plum, grape, toffee, fig, and spice. Extremely smooth drinking because of the excellent balance of sweetness, spice and chocolate maltiness. One of my favorite beers.

Fles. Topbier. Mooi schuim, mooie kleur. Een van de weinige waar ik met een gerust hart een krat van koop.

330 ml/11.2 oz bottle. The write-up on the side of the bottle said that Gouden Carolus would charm me, and it did. This is one of those commercially produced Belgian strong ales that is better than most of the beer produced by the Trappists. I’ll be getting a bomber next time.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2007 A full bodied great beer. A lot of taste and although sweet. Still a perfect beer for tasting. A beer you can save for years. Tasted this year a new one a beer from 1992, a beer from 87 and last but not least a beer from 1976. And still those beers are still wonderfull. A must have taste for everyone.

#420... My new favorite beer, ordered on the spur of the moment after the waitress told me they were out of Nocturnum. On tap, deep brownish with a grape colored hue. Light head with lacing. Most amazing flavors i have had in a Belgian, with perfectly sweet grapes, plums, and banana at first, changing abruptly to tones of chocolate and cherry before ending in a sweet , yet lightly drying finish. The taste lingered long after i took a sip. As of now this stands as my new #1 until I can get my hands on my old favorite World Wide stout.

Aroma stays with you for entire beer, wonderful complex roasty toasty flavors. Color very appealing with nice tan/brown head. Overall great beer that is highly recommended.

Not overpowering, smells of malts, caramel and bread. This is very smooth and reminds me of the Aventis Weizen bock.
