Gouden Carolus Noel Tasting

Belgian Christmas ale, 10.5% abv, 750ml bottle
Brewery Het Anker, Mechelen,  Belgium

Pours dark brown with light head.

Aroma is slightly chalky, with lots of dark fruit and candy notes.

Flavor is lightly sweet and quite malty with a big hit of black licorice.

Mouthfeel is rich and creamy with some nice warmth.

Finish is on the warm and sweet side, but not overly so.

A very tasty big classic Christmas ale.
