CAROLUS WEIHNACHTSGESCHENKSET 11oz 4 Flaschen

I grabbed this set for a Christmas party and everyone was impressed by how smooth it drinks for 10.5%—the dark ruby color caught my eye before I even poured it. The aging from August really comes through in the balance of those three hops.

The first sip hits you with that deep, malty richness—you can tell it rested a few months before bottling. The 10.5% ABV is noticeable but not harsh, and the three hop varieties give it a nice bitter edge that balances the dark fruit sweetness. Perfect for sipping slowly on a cold evening.

The dark ruby color is gorgeous when you pour it, and the 10.5% ABV gives a nice warming kick without being harsh. I've been aging a couple of the bottles to see how the three hop varieties develop over time. Perfect for a cold evening by the fire.
