Description
Gouden Carolus Classic, AKA the Emperor, AKA the Imperial Beer, is a rich, fruity Belgian Dark Ale by the Het Anchor brewery. First brewed in 1939, this particular brew was recognised as the World’s Best Dark Beer in 2012.
Top-fermented, and finely-balanced, its chestnut body flashed ruby in the light, and releases fruity, banana, strawberry, and chocolate scents from under its thick tan head.
The astonishing complexity of the bouquet is reproduced on the palate, with more malty, fruity notes, offset by a delicious caramel character.
The powerful full body and slick texture conspire with the moderate carbonation to give a fruity, caramel finish.
