St. Bernardus Xmas Ale

Saw this at Costco the other day. Might have to pick up a couple bombers for gifts and course one for myself.






Just about every brewery releases something to coincide with the holiday season, but none of them have the history, or the taste that you get from the Christmas Ale from St. Bernardus. It's a Belgian Abbey ale brewed in the Quadrupel style at 10% ABV — bringing a warming meld of flavors that should ward off the deep chill of winter. It's also ideal to pair with traditional holiday dinners, as the Belgian yeast can balance out a starchy meal as well as any beer available. Look past the trends and consider a classic this holiday season.

You haven't had it yet? Do you know if it's filtered? Chimay is my fave, and it looks like the same bottle

No haven't tried it.I'll probably pick up a couple bombers this weekend.

*burp*

By the way this is delicious. I have a case of 12 bottles sitting in my basement

It's a good mix between the 8 and 12.

It's hard to go wrong with anything St. Bernardus produces. One of the best Belgian breweries out there in my opinion. It is said that the Abt 12 is as close to Westvleteren 12 that you will find outside of the abby gates of St. Sixtus.

Had the 12 and the 8 from them. I havent seen this one yet.

Picked up a couple bottles for gifts and of course one for myself. Wow, really nice beer! Fruity with a hint of spices perfect for the holidays!

Bought one yesterday and tried it today with my son. Yums! It is very good. This may be the start of a new tradition of a bottle of this for Christmas Eve.
