Message ruttroshaggy places 17 º 10:15 Wed 8/21/2013 I saw Kraddel’s glowing review of this stuff and really want to grab a few bottles. I saw it at one of the tourist trap shops in Brussels at an astronomical price. I didn’t understand what it was at the time. I thought it was just a regular Carolus beer in a retro bottle with a huge mark up. Is it available anywhere else for less than an arm and leg?
Message BelgBeerGeek beers 1307 º places 38 º 13:59 Wed 8/21/2013 If you want to the Original Gouden Carolus d’Or then go to Kulminator, they still have the original bottle from the ’80s orso ... bottle looks like this : http://www.flickr.com/photos/73344896@N00/421521150 They also have that newer bottle that looks alost excatly the same as this bottle, but slightly different and offcourse younger beer as i think it’s from around 2008 orso ... Also pretty cheap, only 5 or 6€ or maybe less i think ... That older one is more expensive but not sure how much, but not above 10€ anyway ... Btw where did you see this rating cause i can’t seem to find it here on RB ?
Message 77ships P beers 14200 º places 917 º 14:03 Wed 8/21/2013 I assume that he is referring to the below beer which Dylan and me had a whole while back: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/gouden-carolus-classic-anno-58/143668/ The picture shows the name Carolu d’Or. I cannot rememeber what the bottled looked liked but the description says: “Sold in recycled vintage Carolus d’Or bottles.”

But like i said, can’t think that it’s super expensive at Kulminator ... Also now i remember what the difference was ! the new version has written on the cap : Expo 58, while the older version just has a clear cap, and i think even gold foil around it ...

Message ruttroshaggy places 17 º 22:44 Wed 8/21/2013 Thanks for the insight, gents. I was referring to the one that 77ships linked, but the old version will be on my list when I finally make it to Kulminator.

I’m a big fan of the Carolus beers. It’s nice to hear that this one is worth seeking out. I have not yet been to Antwerp, but will post on here when it looks like I’ll make a visit. It would be nice to have a beer with some of the Antwerp crew!

Message sebletitje beers 11868 º places 491 º 11:53 Thu 8/22/2013 I am surprised it’s not available at Rampkrot. The owner has been slacking as of late.
