Description
De naam “Corsendonk” verwijst naar de priorij van Corsendonk, een voormalig augustijner klooster te Oud-Turnhout. De priorij bestond van 1398 tot 1784. Vanaf 1906 werd de brouwerijtraditie van Priorij Corsendonk door Henricus Keersmaekers (de grondlegger van de dynastie) met zijn eigen brouwerij te Oud-Turnhout voortgezet. In 1952 werd gestopt met het zelf brouwen van bier en werd de firma een distributiebedrijf. In 1982 werd op vraag en met de steun van de Oud-Turnhoutse VVV gestart met de productie van Corsendonk-bier.
Het bier wordt van begin af aan gebrouwen door Brouwerij du Bocq. Later is de familie Keersmaeker 100% eigenaar geworden van du Bocq. Dat was een geleidelijk proces waarbij gedurende een periode van 10 jaar elk jaar 10% van de brouwerij werd gelocht. Het was pas in 2014 dat bekend werd gemaakt dat de familie Keersmaeker 100% eigenaar waren van de brouwerij.

Brown with a lasting off-white head leaving lace. Bready malt and caramel in the initial aroma. Background notes of licorice, roast malt and dates. Rich malt flavour, but dry as it should be. The licorice and other notes are lingering in the aftertaste.

Bottle. Creamy white excellent mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Powerfull great yeasty and hoppy aroma, full of fruity esters dominated by apple. Moderate bitter flavor. Average powerfull heavy bitter finish. Oily palate but very lively. More power than finesse. Not my kind of trippel.

Pours caramel brown with tan head. Aromas of bread, fruits, citrus. Flavors of raisins, figs, caramel, cloves, candy sugar and slight alcohol. Medium body with lively carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. The best Corsendonk beer IMO.

Bottle: Poured a clear deep brown color ale with a nice huge foamy head with good retention and some nice lacing. Aroma of bubblegum and sweet malt is really enjoyable and somewhat reminiscent of great Belgian dark ale. Taste is a mix between some bubblegum notes with a nice fruity ester and some sweet Belgian-type malt. Body might be slightly thin for the style with some great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I was expecting something good but definitely this one exceeded my expectation.

Bottle, 75cl at the Belgian Embassy. It poured a slightly hazy, yellow body with a big white head. Fruity nose with apples and lemon, as well as a touch of spices. The flavor follows the same path, adding wheat and a touch of spices. It finishes with lasting fruity and bitter flavor, with some spices blending in. Medium body. Really refreshing and easy to drink. Not the best witbier, but inviting and quenching. (080410)

bottle. Clear amber-brown colour, malty nose. Full-bodied, very malty with hints of caramel and toffee, hoppy in a perfumy way and very fruity.
