Br.Van Steenberge
Belgium
Appearance: rich caramel with a slight reddish tint. Big bubbly tan head.
Flavors:after the fizz explosion that hits the mouth, there is a rich malt sweetness of caramel, toasted grain, and a hoppy spice and bitter note.
Mouthfeel: tons of carbonation, Champagne effervescent like, cola like feel, semi-dry texture that lingers on the palate.
It is not like the regular Gulden Draak. See my posting on Nov. 22, 2010. It does have a few of the tasting notes but, missing some of the others. It also looks different. The 2009 vintage is not as rich tasting and lacks that creamy feel of the regular.
My Strength Rating: 6
