Another late christmas beer - Gouden Carolus Noel

This one was starting to get a little old, but the label claims that it's one that will improve with age. It does have a bit of an odd taste to it, but it's that strange almost bock taste that some belgian beers have.

There's a hint of some strange kind of spice in there, almost anise-like. But I don't think it is anise, because I usually (*&%ing HATE anise. The original taste gives way eventually to a slightly more yeasty flavor over the course of the beer.

A very pleasant beer, also fairly strong at 10% alcohol. But despite the slight anise flavor to it, I found myself wishing I'd bought more than one once I finished this one.
