Gouden Carolus Noel! It's warm and perfumy and 10% ABV, so it's great for this weekend in Chicago. I love Chicago because it was 70 degrees about a week ago and today it was in the 30's pretty much all day. But I digress. Gouden Carolus is brewed by the Het Anker Brewery in Mechelen. I have another of their beers in the fridge so I'll talk about that one in the next couple of weeks. What I like about these beers is the complexity -- the rich, dark copper color, the port-wine-esque fruity nose, the warm black cherry fruit finishing with just a touch of cough-syrupy alcohol. Also, I like the label! I am asking Santa for beer this year. I will leave some Gouden Carolus Noel by my new tabletop fireplace with some cookies -- a great pairing, by the way.
