Noel Christmas Weihnacht, Brouwerij Verhaeghe Vichte.
It may be a few weeks late for a Christmas beer, but this one just fell into my hands, and I feel that the bottle is probably too old to hang on to it for another year. I have no way of finding out how old it is, but it has a Best By of 1-30-16, so I, or, somebody should have drank it down five years ago.
7.2 % ABV. Brouwerij Verhaeghe, Vichte, Belgium.
Lightly hazed, amber/golden hue, slim white head.
In the nose: Spicy, malty. Citrus and plums. Gingerbread and lemon squares. Belgian yeast. Little bit of funk. All the Christmas feels.
In the mouth: Medium body. Smooth. Malty. Slightly spicy. Very mellow. Makes me wonder what it was like fresh?
