Cuvée de l'ermitage Christmas

Clear, mahogany-brown abbey beer, moderately carbonated with fine bubbles, beneath a dense head with moderate retention. The aroma is mellow, very malty, and caramelized, with fruity, liqueur-like nuances. On the palate, the opening is velvety, the flavor sweet, round, and very malty, the bitterness delicate, and the aftertaste fairly dry. A good, sweet abbey beer.
