St Bernardus Christmas Ale

75 cl 10% ABV

Belgian Quad style

Dark chestnut colour, fair bit of carbonation with an easy 3 finger head for a careful pour. For a christmas beer, it was not spicy at all but had hints of fruits and berries. Banana, ever so slightly, blueberry, plum, and a definite vinous character that never became dominant but added nicely to the flavour. Would go well with christmassy cakes, if I could cope with any more christmas food/cake but perhaps not so well with a rich dinner, being a bit too delicate for that.
