Country:
France Brewery: La Choulette Beer: La Choulette de Noel ABV: 6.8% Dark, rich and hearty ale with a spicy, champagne-like aroma, from a tiny antique brewery. |
 |
Country:
Belgium Brewery: Geants Beer: Noel de Geants ABV: 8.5% Rich and warming, and just a bit spicy, with the delicate addition of a special aromatic herb from the region of the brewery. |
 |
Country:
France Brewery: Duyck Beer: Jenlain Noel ABV: 6.8% Good, dark beer with a noticable twinge of orange peel. |
 |
Country:
Netherlands Brewery: Klein Duimpje Beer: Kerstbier ABV: 7.5% Deep, dark amber, very earthy and full-bodied, with some roasty and fruity malt flavors balanced by a perfectly stated hop bitterness. |
 |
Country:
Denmark Brewery: Olfabrikken Beer: Jule Ale ABV: 8.0% Highly unusual winter specialty, combining a mass abyndance of American hops with a touch of traditional Danish winter spice. |
 |
Country:
Denmark Brewery: Olfabrikken Beer: Kloster Jul ABV: 9.5% Dark brown in color with mahogany around the edges. The head is very persistent with some amazing lace. That aroma is of heavenly chocolate covered spiced cherries. The flavor, like the aroma, is chocolate along with some same dark fruit and star anise. |
 |
Country:
France Brewery: Thiriez Beer: Biere de Noel ABV: 6.0% Dark brew with a pronounced hoppiness, very dry, with a subtle spicing and a sour funky edge. |
 |
Country:
United States Brewery: High & Mighty Beer Co. Beer: Home for the Holidays ABV: 7.0% Home for the Holidays is a smooth, malty, warming brown ale, brewed with loads of roasted malts to give hints of chocolate and raisin, liberally dosed with noble Halletauer and Saaz hops, and fermented with a Belgian yeast strain. |
 |
Country:
England Brewery: Ridgeway Beer: Warm Welcome ABV: 6.0% A classic Brown ale, it’s 6% by volume, a little hoppier than your average Brown, and with a little extra malty sweetness. A Nut Browned worthy of the holidays, for sure. Keep an eye out for a little earthy funkiness in the beer, the result of a special multi-strained yeast. |

Country:
England Brewery: Ridgeway Beer: Seriously Bad Elf ABV: 9.0% Another masterpiece from Peter Scholey at Ridgeway Brewing. Seriously Bad Elf is Peters's very English interpretation of a Belgian Tripel, brewed to warming 9% alcohol, especially for his rapidly-growing American following. |
 |
Country:
England Brewery: Ridgeway Beer: Criminally Bad Elf ABV: 10.5% Outstanding English barley wine. Brown in color with a bit of amber. Dense ample head with malty aroma. The flavor is caramel and fruity without being sweet and a small hop finish. Great beer with a great label. |
 |
Country:
England Brewery: Ridgeway Beer: Insanely Bad Elf ABV: 12.0% A dark flavour bomb of a beer, only in 330 ml bottles. |
