Gouden Carolus Noel


Gouden Carolus Noel- 10% abv Belgium strong dark ale by my favorite Belgium brewer. With no surprise, it's an excellent Christmas beer, being full of flavor, dark, and complex. Pairs well with Christmas mistletoe and New Years hors d'oeuvres.

Troegs Mad Elf

Troegs Mad Elf - 11% Abv. Seasonal Belgium style strong ale with honey and cherries. Personally, I am turned off by cherries, and to a lesser extent, elves. I was pleasantly surprised to find the honey and cherry notes subtle and complimentary, with only a hint of the elf flavor present in the aftertaste. Like with most elves, it gets better with age.

Delirium Noel

Delirium Noel-  10% Abv. Belgium dark strong ale.  Pink elephants? Not as odd as the slightly meaty flavor that has me scratching my head.  Otherwise, it's a decent Christmas brew. One pink elephant is enough for me.
