DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The Taste of a Belgian Christmas.
Gouden Carolus Christmas is the holiday ale from Brewery Het Anker, a fifth generation family brewery in the historic Grand Beguinage of Mechelen, Belgium, where beer has been brewed since 1471. It's a big, dark, 10.5% ABV ale with deep malty warmth, ripe dark fruit, and gentle holiday spice, the kind of beer made for slow sipping on cold nights.
This limited edition gift pack is a seasonal release available while supplies last, and it pairs four 330ml bottles with two branded Gouden Carolus chalices. It's ready to wrap for the beer lover on your list, or to share by the fire with someone special.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Rich caramel malt and dark bread with ripe dark fruit, a touch of dried fig and raisin, and soft holiday spice
- Palate: Full bodied and malty, with dark fruit, toffee, and warming spice layered over a smooth, rounded sweetness and a noticeable but gentle alcohol warmth
- Finish: Long, warming, and lightly spiced, with lingering malt and fruit that make it a true fireside sipper
How to Enjoy
- In the Chalice: Serve at 50 to 55°F in the included Gouden Carolus chalice. Pour slowly and leave a little in the bottle if you prefer to skip the yeast.
- Cellar It: Store bottles upright in a cool, dark place. The brewery notes this ale can be cellared for years as it grows richer and rounder.
- Holiday Pairing: Roast duck, glazed ham, venison stew, or Belgian style beef carbonade all stand up to the malt and spice.
- Dessert Match: Gingerbread, Christmas pudding, dark chocolate, or a wedge of aged Gouda or blue cheese.
What Makes It Special
Brewery Het Anker sits inside the Grand Beguinage of Mechelen, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its Gouden Carolus beers are named after the gold coins of Emperor Charles V, who grew up in Mechelen and is said to have favored the local beer. The Christmas ale is one of the brewery's most anticipated releases each winter, celebrated for the rich, festive warmth that has made it a holiday tradition among Belgian beer fans. Packaged with two chalices, this set turns a great seasonal beer into a complete, giftable experience.
