A cloudy mahogony colour with a foamy beige head with good lacing.
The smell is very sweet, caramelly and toffee, a very unique combination of aromas. The flavour is syrupy malt, walnuts and dark Belgian chocolate combined with an alcohol kick of wine in the finish. Smokiness and spices give this beauty a complex bouquet.

Het Anker still brews Keizersbier -Dutch for- The Emperor's Beer, which is quaranteed top fermentation and bottle conditioning, following traditional methods.
Gouden Carolus Classic can be kept for years and even improves with age ! Highly recommended.
