Gouden Carolus Christmas beer

Gouden Carolus Christmas is a Belgian Strong Dark Ale brewed by Brouwerij Het Anker in Mechelen, Belgium. This seasonal beer is characterized by its deep ruby-red color and a robust 10.5% alcohol by volume. The brewing process begins in August, with the beer resting for several months to achieve an optimal flavor balance. A distinctive feature of this beer is the use of three types of hops and six different herbs and spices, contributing to its rich and complex taste profile. The beer is available in various bottle sizes, including 33cl, 75cl, and 1.5L, and is best served at temperatures between 9-12°C. Gouden Carolus Christmas pairs well with winter stews and roasts, making it a favored choice during the holiday season. Brouwerij Het Anker, the producer of this beer, has a long-standing tradition in Belgian brewing, dating back to the 14th century, and continues to craft beers that honor this rich heritage.
