It may not have been as startling of an experience if I knew what was in there before hand.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I've also reviewed this beer:<BR/><A HREF="http://beer47.com/2009/01/gouden-carolus-noel-2008-review/" REL="nofollow">Gouden Carolus Noël 2008 Review @ Beer 47</A>David D Jensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509008438623076700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5992713959178021950.post-44185085380632144012008-12-13T16:14:00.000-06:002008-12-13T16:14:00.000-06:00I absolutely love the Gouden Carolus line because they include anise seed in the brewing, which gives a licorice hint in the finish.
