Brouwerij St Bernardus - Christmas Ale (Can)

A magnificent festive creation from Belgium's legendary St. Bernardus Brewery, Christmas Ale is a gloriously rich, complex Belgian Quadrupel brewed especially for the festive season. Packed with warming winter flavours and the unmistakable character of the brewery's distinctive house yeast, this exceptional Christmas beer is a true celebration of traditional Belgian brewing.

Pouring a beautiful deep mahogany brown with a generous, creamy head, Christmas Ale delivers an intoxicating bouquet of dark dried fruits, caramelised sugar, roasted chestnuts and warming aniseed spice. Delicate hints of chocolate and rich malt add further depth to its wonderfully inviting aroma.

On the palate, luxurious layers of creamy caramel, raisins, figs and toasted chestnuts unfold alongside subtle liquorice, dark chocolate and gentle peppery spice. The brewery's unique yeast contributes a beautifully complex fruity character, while restrained hop bitterness provides balance against the beer's considerable malt richness.

Full-bodied, smooth and wonderfully warming, Christmas Ale finishes with lingering notes of dried fruit, chocolate and festive spice. At a formidable 10% ABV, this is a magnificent fireside sipper and an exceptional companion to Christmas pudding, rich chocolate desserts and hearty winter dishes.
