Gouden Carolus Classic

Gouden Carolus Classic is actually a Belgian strong dark ale, not a lager, brewed by Het Anker brewery in Mechelen. Rich, warming, and malt-forward with dried fruit and a hint of spice underneath. At $6.14 it is a genuine steal for a beer this complex. Grab it when you want something serious to drink slowly after dinner, or when you are done with hop-forward beers for the night.
