Cuvée Van De Keizer Imperial Dark 11° - 3/4L

Every year on the 24th of February, the birthday of "Charles the fifth", the Brewery brews the Gouden Carolus "Cuvee of the Emperor" in a limited quantity and with an eye on the highest quality and tradition. This unique brewing, with only extra fine Belgian hops and with a higher alcohol level, guarantees a better evolution in the time, than the already known Gouden Carolus. This beer, as all our beers, is 100 % natural, with no preservatives, no adjuncts and no chemicals. We bottle it in bottles of 75 cl and closed with a quality cork. Excellent to store several years. Every year the public is invited to assist to the brewing process. Was 8% abv in 2000-2002, 10% in 2003 and 11% in 2004.

This is a dark beer and the label has a blue diagonal line.

Pours a deep brown with a frothy and lacey light brown head. Aroma includes notes of liquorice, plum, dates, and rich esters. Tasting notes include robust plum, liquorice, and rich dark fruits. The palate is warming, and hides the alcohol exceptionally well. This is an excellent Belgian!
