Name – Corsendonk Abbey Brown Ale
Country – Belgium
Type – Dubbel
Appearance – Poured a deep brown that looked like cola. Had a tan head that was gone pretty quick.
Smell – Dark fruits and candy sugar dominate the nose.
Taste – Sweet malts with dark fruits, raisins and a little bit of candy sugar.
I wanted to have Corsendonk’s Christmas Ale during the holidays but I balked and missed out on it. So I went ahead and got what seems to be the flagship ale of the brewery. I was not disappointed. A very straight forward dubbel with many of the characteristics you would expect. Now some might as why I rate a straight forward dubbel higher than an average saison like yesterday’s review. It’s just my taste I guess.
Overall Grade – B

This was a very good beer, unfortunately when i drank it i didnt take notes, probably because I had it on my birthday at the Lodge in Boca. Too many good beers there that caught up quick. Solid review as always mike!
