Corsendonk Christmas Ale

Bottle purchased at Whole Foods in NYC: ruby-red colored beer with a thin head, a bit of a fruity aroma, citrus and malty taste, smooth. Pretty good stuff.

11/30/06 - my 1st listing - bottle from World of Beer in Clearwater - good thing it was nice beer to start - hopefully I will improve my listings over time - caramel hints, brandy aroma - sweet spices and goes down smooth with lite alcohol finish. Very nice Christmas beer!

Christmas in a bottle. This is one Christmas ale that gets it. The only thing missing is the tree and annoying family members opening gifts. A strong Belgian with sweet tastes of citrus, raisin and spices. The dark color and tan head made me want to hang icicle lights. Santa had better not down a few of these before heading out on the sleigh or some houses may get missed.

Draught at Ølbaren. Take it from the alcohol its a very refreshing christmas ale with fine notes of orange and raisins. Colour is typical christmas like with brown body and white head.

Deep mahogany, fairly sizey tan head. Aroma is raisin and rum, prune, and some hint of alcohol. Flavor is molasses, raisin, maybe a hint of nutmeg. Some alcohol heat.

12 oz bottle from A Southern Season. Lot of carbonation, big frothy head. Deep amber. aromas of grape juice, pineapple and sugar cubes. Very creamy, velvety mouthfeel. mocha milkshake, smoothie, alcohol. Better than your typical Christmas/Winter Beer.

Bottle at Delirium Cafe. Dark. Sweet and a bit alcoholic. Powerful and bold, this might just be a little too sweet for drinking by itself.

The aroma is very floral, yeasty, sweet, citrusy, and spicy. The appearance is red-brown with a large foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth with sweet spices and alcohol in the finish. This is a great christmas beer.
