Gouden Carolus Indulgence [Indulgence, noun, \in-'dәl-jәn(t)s\ something that is done or enjoyed as a special pleasure] is a limited series of beers brewed every year with varying content. These ‘Indulgence’ brews are exclusive delights to be savoured at special moments or shared with special people.
Cuvée Sauvage is the 2nd taste to be produced under this label. Gouden Carolus Cuvée van de Keizer Rood was blended with 2- and 3-year-old Lambic (20%) from the Boon Brewery (Lembeek). This union combines the best of two brewing traditions: full-bodied and subtly flavoured, fruity and refreshingly sour.

0.75 bottle. Fantastic fine head, long lasting. Golden color. Great sweet-sour aroma. Very dry & balanced especially for 9.8% beer, probably great with fish.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Looks good in the glass, zippy, small head. Starts malty with sourish fruity notes, not too intense. Notes of apple. Finish well balanced, spicy-malty still with fruity hints. Nice!

Flaska från SB. Tack Daniel. Blommig, fruktig och örtig doft med koriander, physalis, fruktkaka, aromatiska äpplen typ aroma. Alkoholvärme med kryddig touch, fruktig godisarna möter lätt syrlighet. Spännande och komplex smakbits. Mycket gott.

Tasting @ Koelschtrinker. Thanks to Jan for sharing! Smooth and deep fruity beginning. Lots of spices there, hints of wood. Sticky fruity, herbal, deep. Very interesting and hard to describe. Dry christmas-candy, peaches, nice smooth sourness. Lots of herbs and spices in the aftertaste - anise, sugarcane, malts. Fascinating deep and easy tod rink. Great stuff!

Sampled from 0.75 l bottle from 'Bierhuys', 2016 vintage. Clear, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly sourish, quite fruity, slightly spicy and a bit funky aroma of caramel, coriander, vanilla, some lemon skin and a touch of citrus. Moderately sweet, a bit sourish, quite spicy, slightly fruity and and a little funky taste of caramel, coriander, lemon skin, vanilla and some barnyard, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly tart, rather spicy and a bit dry finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite nice, the lambic adds a refreshing touch to an otherwise quite saturating beer.

Bodney Towers bottle share. Thanks.to Kwtse. Light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, creamy sweet. A little spicy bitter floralness. Dessert wine fruits, tangy orange and lemon. A sweeter floral vibe. Smooth dessert wine finish. My kinda sour.
