Liefmans Goudenband is one of the most distinctive dark beers in the world. Originally called IJzerenband (Iron Band) – a reference to the iron bands around the beer barrels – the bottle gained its champagne cork when it was renamed Liefmans Goudenband (Gold Band). Made in open vats with beer of mixed fermentation, it is left to mature for four to 12 months in the cellar. Mature beer is then fortified with younger beer, so the fermentation process starts up again.

0.33 l bottle from the Kulminator cellar. Murky brown, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity and metallic, brown bread, stale bread. No perceived acidity. Spices, nutmeg, light cinnamon. Flavour is slightly sour, dried fruits, nutty, toasty, cocoa. Lingering dry finish. Quite easy going.
