Gustav1996 (3), Birmingham, Alabama, USA 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. SeanMacGC (233), Dublin, Ireland 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. angrypirate06 (678), Texas, USA Nov 4, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown with a beige tan head. Aroma is nutty, booze, vinous, caramel, raisins, plums. Flavor is raisins, caramel, plum, yeast, and bready. Dry mouth. stobbe74 (655), Denmark Nov 4, 2009 Bottle, 33cl. Pours a brown muddy beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is raisin and prunes. The flavor is alcohol and prunes. The palate is alcoholwarmth. Overall a good beer. jumpjet2k (135), Austin, Texas, USA 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. XtraStout (46), Alberta, Canada Oct 29, 2009 Bottle Beer Bistro.
Nice dark pour with a strong malty spicy aroma.
Definatly a heavy beer. I can really taste the alcohol in it. That is normally a minus for me but this time I think its a real throat warmer.
I’d drink it again. Braudog (3732), Dayton, Ohio, USA Oct 25, 2009 Bottle at Miami Valley Beer Festival. Deep, dark brown hue on this one. Quite the sugary beer, crystal or candy sugar? Big alcohol kick to this, too. Quite good. (#3706, 10/24/2009) Adenila (931), Denmark Oct 24, 2009 Clear medium brown with a fine brown head. The aroma has notes of sweet fruits and berries, alchohol and dust. Flavor is medium sweet with bitter berry notes, a little too much alchohol but overall very enjoying.
