Gouden Carolus Indulgence [Indulgence, 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.

Botanik is the 3rd taste expression released under this label. A special blond beer was brewed using barley and wheat for this purpose. A selection of 4 natural botanicals was added during the ageing process: elderflower, angelica root, cloves and rosemary. A pleasantly surprising bouquet!

It is what I expected to be, so I can't say I'm disappointed, but I don't like it. It's what they were aiming for, so not a bad beer, just not for me. Pretty sweet, some honey flavours, and a lot of herbs. Rosemary, cloves, other weeds.. soapy.
