Bottle. Dark brown color. Caramel, soft smoke, dust in the aroma. Malty sweet, dusty, soft roast, smoke, dried fruit. Thinnish, alcoholic. Perhaps a bit of cheap whisky. Lacks balance and had some odd flavors.

2nd Feb 2019, Brugge Bier Festival. Misty brown/deep amber, the head a fast fading off-white affair. Malty aroma with a hint of Whisky and wood. taste also malty sweet again with a touch of Whisky and wood within the flavours. Boozy and a little too sweet, my sweet tooth loved it though!

24 November 2018. 5de Winters Bierfestival Waregem. Deputy Taster: Anke. Hazy brown/amber with a lasting, thin, foamy, off-white head; little lacing. Aroma of walnut, oak, whisky, cookie dough, cinnamon, calvados, plum, caramel, earth. Taste is medium malty sweet, very caramelly, subtler hints of dough & plum; light to medium herbal bitter, spicy too with cinnamon & clove but balanced by a woody touch & some smoky whisky popping up, perhaps even a hint of toast. Dryish, herbal & peppery hoppy finish, lingering caramel & those omnipresent spices, warming whisky alcohol. Medium body, slick, almost syrupy texture, soft carbonation. More drinkable than its little brother Roedolph, still somewhat out of balance.

Thanks to Kraddel! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ “Belgian Ticks Tasting Ghent”. Quite hazy darker amber, near murky, disappearing mocha bubbles,… Nose is very sweet malt syrup, caramel syrup, cuberdons, sugar, sweet malt goop,… Taste is caramel basic malt goop sweet syrup, very sweet, lots of sugar, soft carbonation, thick cloying syrup, lacks complexity but not all bad. Very simple, sticky sweet syrup brew.

Pours clear, dark amber. Small white head. Smell is gentle, sweet, wood, mild fruity notes as well as a touch of booze. Taste is full, sharp, bit bitter, earthy, some chocolate (burnt) malts. Ok. Bit thin and boozy.

Collaboration of De Vierkante Meter (a semi-professional hobby brewery in Schoten near Antwerp) and Bryggja in Western Flanders, apparently ’whisky-infused’ - which quite simply means that a bit of whisky was added at some stage in the production process, very clearly inspired by the first version of Gouden Carolus Indulgence. Creamy, pale beige-ish white, dense head, showing large gaps in the middle seconds after pouring but retaining very well around the edge, over an initially clear, deep and very purely copper coloured beer, in all looking quite attractive. Aroma of butterscotch candy, stewed pear, coriander seed, almonds, candied banana and dito fig, bubblegum, lightly toasted bread, very old rocky brown sugar, white port wine and indeed a very clear whiff of whisky (even vaporizing alcohol), dry earth, apple brandy, hazelnuts, red beetroot, honey, marmelade, nectarine, the frosting on a cupcake, ginger. Sweetish onset, candied fig, banana and some ripe peach perhaps, balanced by an underlying sourish hint of redcurrant, softish carbo, filling body though still feeling thinner than expected for a 9+% beer; very resinous too. This resinous aspect from caramelized malts dominates the middle phase, as in hard butterscotch candy, with hints of hazelnuts and something vaguely toasty; the restrained ’dried fruit’ sweetishness continues well over this but bumps into a whole lot of soapy, spicy coriander towards the end, way too much so for my personal liking, but contributing to the overall resinous, hard candy-ish profile of this beer. Some earthy hop bitterness in the finish along with the flow of caramelly malt sweetness and then, at a point where I was not already expecting it, the whisky, establishing not just a large amount of alcoholic heat which I can physically feel going down in my esophagus, but also this unpleasant, wry feeling on the root of the tongue; this is probably a combination of the beer’s own alcohol (made more apparent by the somewhat thinnish body in relation to its strength) and the whisky having been too generously applied. An actual whisky flavour does linger on top of the butterscotch-like maltiness and the coriander spiciness after swallowing. Not that bad from a mere technical viewpoint: no off-flavours here, well-presented with a label depicting a dressed walrus but looking attractive in the glass as well and clearly aiming at the resiny, candy-ish but well-established (modern) Gouden Carolus style, particularly the 2015 edition of Indulgence. A kind of copycat in that sense, but well executed, though in this case both the coriander spiciness and - especially - the whisky alcohol are applied too intensely for my personal taste. Still, considering other beers I had from both Vierkante Meter and Bryggja, I must admit I did not expect a beer of this level.
