Corsendonk Christmas Ale

Pours a nice clear dark brown burgundy color with a large amount of froathy manilla head. Aroma is a little flat: slightly sweet, mellow yeast and spices, raisins, and slight sour orange scent. Flavor is sour, bananna, sour grapes, coriander with a smooth malty finish. Overall, I thought it could have been better.

Big fluffy, lasting pillow head. Gentle spice aroma. Full body, touch of sourness, warm malty flavour. Silky, malty but not a lot of special in it.

Pillowy lasting small head. Bronze coloring. Yeasty spicey and slightly malty. It has a spicey bubbly finish. Available at Colonial Spirits in North Acton.

Average off white head. strong herby aroma, hints of alcohol, fruit (banana). Full body, creamy, with a light bitter finish. sweet and bitter. Nice Christmas Ale.

Bottle 2005. White head. Very dark brown, Scent of oranges. Coriander, liqorice. Sweet long aftertaste. Well done.

this IS silky smooth. Drinks very light for a darker brew. VERY nice long lingering finish just as the commerical description promises. Malty and just plain good.

Full taste, nice bitterness in the finish. A proper Belgian ale, though not particularly Christmas-oriented except in the packaging. Quite similar to Delirium Christmas.

Light brown, big, stable beige head.aroma is dominated by caramel. Flavour is caramel and fruits. Well-balanced, but a definite emphasis on sweetness. Creamy texture, medium body. A very pleasant, rich and sweet winter beer.
