ABV: 8.5 percent
Appearance: Corsendonk Christmas Ale pours a very dark and reddish brown. It's certainly what you expect when you read or hear Christmas or Winter Ale. The head is creamy, white and pretty thick. It also has a strong retention as it remains on top of the brew for most of the drink.Smell: This beer smells like it's full of various spices and fruits. I got a lot of cinnamon and citrus.
Taste: The taste is somewhat surprising given this beer's dark appearance. It's very sweet and easy on the palate. It balances the strong spices off perfectly. Makes for an easy and relaxing drink.
Overall Rating:
This beer is right up there with the Bell's White Winter Ale I reviewed a few weeks ago. This is also the first dark winter seasonal I've actually enjoyed.
