Gouden Carolus Whisky Infused Imperial Dark 11.7% – Belgian specialty beer with true whisky character

Gouden Carolus Whisky Infused Imperial Dark 11.7% is a unique Belgian specialty beer where the art of brewing and the craft of distilling merge in perfect harmony. This powerful Imperial Dark is infused with carefully selected Belgian whisky from Het Anker’s own distillery – and the result is a deep, complex and irresistible beer experience for the discerning drinker.

With its dark, intense character and high alcohol content, this beer delivers richness, warmth and elegance. The combination of the classic Cuvée van de Keizer Imperial Dark and the house whisky creates a unique flavor profile where the sweetness and roasted depth of the malt meets the spicy and barrel-aged nuances of the whisky.

The color is deep mahogany with ruby flashes and a beautiful, dense head. The aroma is intense and inviting, with distinct notes of dark malt, cocoa and subtle whisky aromas.
