As any repeat reader of my notes posted on this site about Belgian barreled or liquor infused beers will know, I have a pretty low opinion of beers that have been bastardized. Additionally, if you know about me and my taste in beer you'd also know...
Undated bottle from a recent mercy trip to Michigan to release some ancient bottles into the wild. This could be anywhere from the early 00s to approx. 2012. Purchased in early 2024, this could be 20 years old. Expecting nothing, purely...
It's hard to get my head around a Gouden Carolus beer like this one. This is true even for a person like me who LOVES lower ABV beers. So far removed from their (normal) lane. A light yellow pour with good head, lace, and some haze greets the eye....
Pictured 03/09/2014: Original notes 11/05/2010: 750 mL corked & caged bottle. MASSIVE thanks go out to Steve for the opportunity to finally get my hands on this beer. I've been trying to get hold of it since I came to the US, and until very,...
Corked and caged 750 mL bottle from Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. $8.99 I *think*. I took the cage off this bottle, got distracted with the kids, and about 10 minutes later the cork shot into the air with a huge explosion! Foam everywhere. A...
Pictured 07/08/23 Original notes 09/28/08 Here we go with a "new" (2008) version of the Keizer. The older, dark version is one of my favorite brews of all time so the expectations are very high - we'll see. 750 mL corked and caged bottle from...
I've been wanting to try this for some time, so I was delighted to find it at Green's on Ponce it Atlanta, GA, USA. $6.99 (I think). Corked and caged 750 mL bottle. The pour is interesting in as much as the color is very much that of a Belgian Dark...
750 mL corked and caged. Delicious and absolutely typical with one major exception - the appearance, especially the color. It was disappointing to me. It resembled one of the nasty, murky dirty water Dubbels that haunt me. Delicious head with an...
Additional notes 06/23/24 (pictured) Still the classic, Strong Belgian Dark notes upfront of sherry, raisins and plums, but because this is NOT the Emperor, it drinks more lightly and with a touch more subtlety. It's fruitier, in a lighter, more...
Additional notes 01/28/23 (pictured) 18 years later the head on this beer is now magnificent, with huge ice-cream foam, great retention and lace (contrast with the notes below). The head is frankly, perfection in 2023. The color still disappoints...
Notes 11/28/21 2021 Vintage. Now labeled as “Imperial Dark”, and pictured here. This bottle came from Belgian Happiness, directly from Belgium. Nothing to report here, other than the beer maintains its place in my top ten of all time. The waves of...
