Can anybody describe what a typical Christmas Ale tastes like? I've never had a Christmas seasonal type of beer. I mean, fall beers tend to have a distinct taste... what do you guys think of the "Christmas" ones?

 

[lotz6996]

i dont usually like beer. if im drinking it then the party has to be good.

 

[R3dline]

Avery's 'The Beast'

At 16.2% ABV, this one is very strong, and certainly a sipper. Has an almost wine-like mouth feel to me. My wife disagreed with me on this notion though, so it could have just been me. Has a large Belgian influence with Belgian yeast, candy sugars, and grains. Head dissipated quickly and provided little to no lacing. Trying to drink this fast was not working for me. I've had stronger beers, but I definitely think that this one is just about at the max of my limit for ABV. All in all, a good tasting super-strong beer. I recommend it for those who enjoy trying different things and challenging their palate.

Well, Anchor's Christmas ale changes each year and they've been making it since 1975 (I Think). I heard last year's was absolutely amazing.

Usually Christmas Seasonals (AKA Winter Warmers) are 8% + Alc. and can contain mixed spices, which are absolutely delicious and awesome for cold winter nights. Perfect for the season.

Other are:

Full Sail Wassail:

Very Malty but the hops really help balance things out...a well crafted beer.

I also really like Avery's Old Jubilation:

8% alc, very nice for the winter. Some coffee/toffee notes.

There's a lot of amazing seasonal beers out there!

Here's more information I found on Winter Warmers:
