Christmas-Winter Specialty Spiced Beer 8.1 º

Brasserie Du Bocq

Gauloise Christmas presents as a quintessential Winter Seasonal Beer, pouring a deep brown with vibrant ruby red highlights and a persistent, fine-bubbled white head. The sensory experience is led by an intoxicating bouquet of special malts, offering rich notes of caramel and toasted bread. This malty foundation is intricately layered with distinctive aromas of coriander and licorice, complemented by estery fermentation notes of dark plum and raisin. On the palate, the beer is full-bodied and balanced, where the sweetness of the malts meets a heady spice profile and a slightly bitter, lingering finish. A smooth alcohol warmth rounds out this festive Belgian classic.
