Rowhouse Logic - Breathtaking Inanity

Just look at that head!

Continuing with the holiday ale theme, allow me to present Corsendonk Christmas Ale, brewed by Brasserie du Bocq for Brewery Corsendonk in Oud-Turnhout, Belgium.

I meant to get away from Belgium this week, but when I saw this bottle, I couldn’t resist the call of Corsendonk. Forgive me? The very first really good beer I ever had was Corsendonk’s Monk Pale Ale / Agnus Dei, which is truly spectacular and will quickly put you on the floor.

This particular holiday ale is dark red in color, a bit sweet and slightly bitter with a very clean aftertaste. I don’t feel like it’s their very best effort, but worth a number of tries nevertheless as even Corsendonk’s worst efforts are delightful. Additionally, this year Corsendonk is offering a holiday gift pack containing eight twelve ounce bottles and two Corsendonk Christmas Ale glasses, shaped similarly to what you see above, for only twenty bucks.

For those of you who prefer cat blogging, I’ve put a picture of my chubby little cat, lounging on the sofa with a bottle of Corsendonk Christmas ale and a stuffed Santa in the extended entry.
