Cuvée van de Keizer - bry. Het Anker.
Every year on the 24th of February, the birthday of "Charles the fifth", the Brewery brews the Gouden Carolus "Cuvee of the Emperor" in a limited quantity and with an eye on the highest quality and tradition. This unique brewing, with only extra fine Belgian hops and with a higher alcohol level, guarantees a better evolution in the time, than the already known Gouden Carolus. This beer, as all our beers, is 100 % natural, with no preservatives, no adjuncts and no chemicals. We bottle it in bottles of 75 cl and closed with a quality cork. Excellent to store several years. Every year the public is invited to assist to the brewing process. Was 8% abv in 2000, 10% in 2003 and 11% in 2004.
"Pours like burnt caramel, medium fizzly off-white head, strong carbonation, with rather sticky lacing. Figs, dates, raisins, and nutty caramel on the nose. Strong dark pitted fruit flavor up front, malty and sweet, with a slight hints of molasses. Full bodied, good mouthfeel. Warming finish, malty sweet, with a lingering fig/prune like flavor. Great beer, that I bet would only get better with age!"
