Gouden Carolus Indulgence Symposium
Banana and citrus come first, followed by a full, spicy body with touches of chamomile: this golden Tripel runs to 8.1%. Symposium, from the Greek for 'drinking together', is the twelfth edition of the limited Indulgence series, brewed with a double fermentation of the yeasts of Gouden Carolus and Delirium Tremens as a symbol of two breweries joining.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Gouden Carolus Indulgence Symposium
Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Drink within 2 years. Some complexity develops with age but the yeast character is best relatively fresh.
