Dec 23, 2006 Poured from bottle into my St.B chalice.
Pours a dark ruby brown with only a slight head. Can catch a glimpse of light around the edging of the beer.
Smell is yeasty, with some candy sugar. There is a earthy fruit and a slight alcohol smell coming through as well.
Taste is dark ripened fruit and yeast. There is more alcohol coming through in the taste than was found in the smell.
The mouthfeel is very carbonated with a slight burn to it.
A decent holiday offering but not my favorite.

Dec 20, 2006 Bottle. Pours a fairly dark brown with a slight tinge of pink when held up to the light. Very small head that disappated into a ring. Aromas of cherry, dark roasted malt, strawberries, starfruit, caramel, with a small, lingering amount of concord grape. There’s a sort of sweet hop character to it that comes out first, but has a really excellent strawberry aftertaste. Actually, very light mouthfeel with no bad notes, or really anything bad to say about this one. A real winner. Careful not to serve it too cold.

Dec 20, 2006 This starts off with an aroma of fruit and spice. It’s less carbonated then the other Corsendonk Ales that I have had. It’s a somewhat sweet Christmas ale with a very long finish. This is one of the reasons I look forward to winter every year.

Dec 20, 2006 Updated: Feb 3, 2008Draft at Green Leafe Cafe, Williamsburg. Deep brown with a firm pillowtop. Full-bodied. Robust spicy character -- very licorice-ish, anise, corriander -- all in a nutty, brown beer. Not sure I quite dig the contrast, but an artistic brew nonetheless. <<From bottle: same impressions.>>

Dec 20, 2006 Bottle. Pretty good. Strong. Not very flavorful - somewhat of a metallic taste. Overcarbonated.

Dec 18, 2006 Amber color with slight purple hue. Big white head that lasts. Crisp taste that is slightly tart. I like that description. Smells of slight purple fruits like plum and cherry. Taste is of roasted/smoky malt, finish is slightly bitter. Hints of yeast all around. Well balanced, complex, the Belgians do these right.
