0.75 l bottle from 'belgiuminabox.com' as 'Gouden Carolus Indulgence Whisky infused', 2015 vintage, cellared for over four years. Almost clear, dark ruby with a thin, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity aroma of caramel, raisins, vanilla, prunes and a touch of whisky. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity taste of caramel, raisins, prunes, whisky, chocolate and vanilla, followed by a medium long, slightly bitter, gently yeasty-spicy and a little boozy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Pleasant beer, the whisky is nicely subtle, a good variation of the famous base beer.

Bottle. Lovely. Aroma is rich, malty, bit fruity, only touch of whisky. Toffee, light chocolate, creamy sweetness. Tiny hint of whisky, no hint of the strength. Great stuff.

28/07/2019 - 33cl bottle @friend's place. Dark brown, tanned head. Nose is dark malts, nutty, fruits. Taste is dark malts, bit alcohol, fruits, caramel. Nice but would've expected way more complec since the normal Cuvée is already brilliant as such.
