Corsendonk Christmas Ale hails from the Brouwerij Corsendonk in Belgium. The ale gets its name from the 15th Century Augustian monk priory established in the same town.It's available in 750 mL and smaller 11.2 oz. bottles.

Pours a dark shadowy garnet with a khaki head. Thick lacing down the side of the goblet. Aroma consists of spice, malt, licorice and cherry. Mouthfeel is full-bodied with plenty of carbonation. Rich malt is apparent followed by a noticeable anise or licorice spice. Turns a little minerally toward the back. Flavors of cloves and dark fruit emerge as the beer warms to room temperature. Alcohol is not noticeable in the flavor, but hits you after the first glass. The masked 8.5% abv can sneak up on you rather quickly.

Merry Christmas!
