Corsendonk Christmas Ale

Coffe colored with small head. Fragrant, perfumy smell. Soft, grainy flavor with som e acid and a lot of sugar and cream. Lingering aftertaste. Good on its own or with heavy salty food or cheese.

Bottle marked 12.09.09. Pours with a huge, creamy brown head and a deep amber tinged mahogany body. Really amazing lacing and long retention. Aroma contains fruity esters, Belgian strong yeastiness, rochefort cheese, booze and orange peel. Taste is yeasty with tangerine skins, bread, dark fruits, smoke, and vanilla. Creamy and smooth on the mouth with light bubbles and slightly warming. Some copper in the finish.

Comes out of the tap a translucent mahogany with a thick, fine-bubbled head. The rich, malty aroma has an undertone of cloves and caramel. Flavor is malty and spicy with a caramel undertone and hints of Coca-Cola and fruit. Texture is smooth, and finish is slightly sweet and pleasing.
