Considered one of the most respected seasonal ales in the world, Corsendonk Christmas is a Belgian Strong Dark Ale that perfectly captures the festive spirit. It pours a magnificent deep mahogany with ruby highlights and a dense, creamy tan head. Brewed with roasted special malts and a subtle touch of coriander, it offers a complex aroma reminiscent of Christmas baking. Expect notes of dark chocolate, toasted malts, and warming spices.

On the palate, it is exceptionally smooth and silky. You will find layers of rich dark fruits like plums, raisins, and figs, underpinned by a bready Munich malt sweetness and a hint of liquorice. Despite its strength, it remains remarkably balanced with a dry, refined finish and a gentle peppery warmth from the yeast. It is a celebratory brew that ages gracefully, developing deeper sherry-like tones over time.
